Bejaia
Bejaia, the former Bougie, backs onto Mount Gouraya and the national park that bears its name, from where the view plunges over the gulf. The town gave its name to the candle (“bougie” in French), the wax of its workshops having once been exported across the Mediterranean, and it sheltered the Italian mathematician Fibonacci, who learned the Arabic numerals here. The remains of the Casbah, the Saracen Gate and the Aiguades beaches make up a stay you leave with regret. Departures to Marseille or Sète need to be planned ahead, as demand is high in summer.
Sète
Sète receives the ferries from North Africa in its commercial port, a few minutes from the centre and the quays lined with fish restaurants. From the port, Sète station has train links to Montpellier, Narbonne and Marseille, and the A9 motorway runs close by for those travelling by car. If your connection leaves you some time, walk along the Canal Royal or climb Mont Saint-Clair for a view over the town, the lagoon and the sea.
