And so, now that we have spent a night at our mooring , how do we find it? We are delighted. It is surprisingly peaceful here. The local fishermen are friendly, and even our neighbour waves to us from her house on the opposite bank. The historic port of Sète, overlooked by Mont Saint Clair, lies close by, and we are within a stones throw of the étang and the sea. But perhaps, best of all, just an hour away along the canal , lies my favourite place in the whole of Hérault, the magical Isle of Maguelone. I shall tell you about it in my next blog.
