la mer...etsètera








I spent the day in Sète, a town close to us which, I think I'm right in saying, has the biggest local fishing port in the Med. I came specifically to see an exhibition by Agnes Varda who grew up in Sète. I also spent the afternoon wandering around the canals and along the waterfront, managing to get quite sunburnt in the process.

  1. So this is where Agnes Varda grew up! wow. What a lovely town! Now I realise I haven't seen the water (sea or river) for a long time now.
