Starting from Base Tabarly, rowers will set course for Marseillan-Plage along the Mediterranean coast. After a short stop at Plage des Trois Digues, the flotilla will round L’Onglous before entering the Thau Lagoon and reaching Marseillan Beach by late morning.

There, participants will enjoy a convivial tasting of regional specialities, including oysters, tielles (the region’s famous octopus pies), fougasses, a fresh salad and local wine. Those who prefer may instead enjoy a picnic lunch they have brought with them.

The return journey to Sète follows the peaceful waters of the lagoon, with a stop at Les Tocs before a picturesque row along the Royal Canal to Môle Saint-Louis.

A memorable rowing excursion combining sporting challenge, spectacular coastal scenery and the opportunity to savour the flavours of southern France.
