The paddle cuts a clean line through Mediterranean blue as the limestone Corniche slides past—sunlight on the water, gulls inspecting your passing. On a two-hour guided sea-kayak circuit out of Sète you split time between open sea and the busy port channels: first the clear shallows and rocky reefs off the Corniche, then the canals, fishing boats and quay-side life that made Sète a working harbor.
