La Pointe Courte

La Pointe Courte, The Short Point, is generally known as an "authentic Sétois" neighborhood. It was made famous by Agnes Varda, when she used it as the setting for her debut feature film in 1955. The movie, named after the neighborhood, highlighted life in the fishing village, and was a forerunner of the French New Wave.

We, however, went there for dinner! Before dinner, we walked around the neighborhood.

Here's the view across the canal, towards the Long Point

The bridges were open for boat traffic

Some street scenes

We loved this sign - "Closed due to Closure". Or perhaps, "Closed Because I Said So!"

Definitely a fishing village
