Here, we're going to meet the seafarers. You will enter the fish market, a place normally forbidden to the public, to understand the daily life of the fishermen and witness the return of the trawlers. Then, to end this timeless day, you will board the legendary Ange Gardien, a three-masted sailing boat, for an intimate sailing trip, cradled by the waves.
We offer a departure from Montpellier in a comfortable, air-conditioned minibus, with a small group of no more than 8 people.
THE PROGRAM:
• 1:30 PM – Departure: 2 Rue Pitot, 34000 MONTPELLIER. “Peyrou – Arc de Triomphe” tram.
• 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM – Behind the Scenes of Fishing: Exclusive guided visit of the heart of the fish market. This is the magical hour when the trawlers return to the harbour, escorted by seagulls.
