Gigean Hike

This afternoon, we went on a hike with a new group! These diverse randonneurs* live in Sète now, but come from Sweden, Denmark, Venezuela, and California (that's us). We spoke French, English, and Spanish, talked about Italian and Portuguese, and heard a few others :-).

Twelve of us met in Sète and carpooled to the Abbaye Saint-Félix-de-Montceau, an abbey from the 11th-13th centuries.

We hiked uphill from there, and looked back

You can just see the mussel beds in the Étang in the distance

We stopped for a snack

And ogled the views

Sète

Frontignan

And back again to the abbey

We stopped for hot drinks and king cake :-)
