Noilly Prat aperitif.

"The petit port of Marseillan on the Languedoc coast, kissing a Mediterranean lagoon east of Béziers, has an undeniable frisson. Views across its dazzling turquoise water to the hillside rooftops of
Sète are reminiscent of St Tropez's to Grimaud and Sainte-Maxime. And excellent beaches a couple of miles outside town. The protected 17th-century harbour really captures the early Riviera vibe.
Low-level houses laced with wrought-iron balconies and splattered with flowers swaddle a channel that jiggles with small boats and yachts, with a left bank of thriving restaurants and cafes"
