The Escale in Sète, a spectacular visit
The children visited the Escale in Sète, a maritime festival gathering traditional boats.
"It's a famous three-master, slim as a bird, hoist high, Santiano. Eighteen knots, four hundred tonnes, I'm proud to be a sailor on her!" That day, every child lived this song to the full, their eyes full of travel through time and space.
The Escale in Sète is a maritime festival held every two years in Sète, in the Hérault, France. It is currently the largest gathering of traditional boats on the Mediterranean coast.
