Begin your day with convenient pick up directly at your cruise ship in Sète, France. Meet your English-speaking driver-guide, who will outline the itinerary and program for this private tour before you set off toward the historic city center.
Enjoy a guided walking tour of Sète, often called the “southern Venice” of France for its picturesque canals and bridges. Stroll along the waterfront and through the lively covered food market to discover local specialties (tastings at own expense) such as tielle (octopus and tomato seafood pie), regional cheeses, olives, cured meats, and traditional Zézette de Sète biscuits. As you walk, your guide will point out key landmarks including Mont Saint-Clair and panoramic viewpoints over the Thau Lagoon.
Continue with a visit to an authentic oyster and shellfish farm on the Étang de Thau. Learn how oysters and mussels are cultivated in this unique saltwater lagoon, then sit back and enjoy a tasting of 6 fresh oysters paired with a glass of crisp local Picpoul de Pinet white wine, all while admiring beautiful views of the lagoon and Mont Saint-Clair.
After the oyster tasting, enjoy free time for lunch (at own expense). You may choose to stay and dine at the farm, which offers a selection of seafood dishes, or opt for a local restaurant in Sète that can be pre-booked for you.
In the afternoon, head to a family-owned winery in the Languedoc wine region. Learn about the history and production of local wines as you explore the vineyards and cellar. Then relax under a shaded pergola facing the vines while you taste a selection of Languedoc wines before returning to your ship in Sète.
