Sète – Skikda with Corsica Linea

Sète
Sète is built on a strip of land between the Mediterranean and the Étang de Thau, which earned it the nickname “the singular island” and its many canals. It is the birthplace of Georges Brassens, who is buried in the seaside cemetery where Paul Valéry also lies, and Mont Saint-Clair gives a wide view over the Languedoc coast. The water jousts, a local tradition in which two teams face each other on the water, mark the Saint-Louis festivities every summer. Try the tielle sétoise, an octopus pie in spicy tomato sauce, before heading to the commercial port.
Skikda
Skikda is the sea gateway of eastern Algeria: the ferry docks at the foot of the hills around the bay, a short distance from the Stora beaches and the old town, the former Philippeville. The town rose on the ruins of ancient Rusicade, whose Roman theatre can be visited. Constantine, the city of suspension bridges, is about an hour and a half away by road, and the coast towards Collo and Jijel offers lovely coves.
