Carcassonne and Sete


These pictures are from the charming little fishing town of Sete, right along the Mediterranean.  It's traversed by waterways and canals, so you have to constantly search out the right bridge to cross to get to the next street.  This harbor had more seagulls than I've ever seen in my life.  I felt like I was in a Hitchcock movie.  






Water Jousting-the traditional sport of Sete.  We stumbled across a lightweight competition--these are the students from the Sete Ecole de Joust.  




We took a trip to Carcassonne, the medieval fortress west of Montpellier.  


Last stop was a beautiful lake just outside of Carcassonne.
