l'essentiel Les bénévoles d’Escale à Sète viennent de participer au festival maritime de Brest où ils ont exposé tout le patrimoine local.

After crossing a good part of France in May to set up a stand at the Fécamp maritime festival, the Escale à Sète volunteers, in mid-July, once again had to travel an entire day to get there. at the prestigious maritime meeting in Brest.

Explanations before tasting

In terms of managing our stand, we have made further progress". Thus, as part of the tastings of Sète products, provided by the festival partners, the numerous passers-by had to wait for the scientific presentations of the products served (carried out by Maria Ruyssen, director of Ifremer Sète) as well as an explanation of the recipes before you can taste.

Numerous contacts made

The rest of the day was divided between chariot jousting demonstrations, songs and other presentations on seamanship. In short, "the program was very dense, especially since we were the sponsors of the Mediterranean village which also included Catalans and Italians from Lake Maggiore". In addition, the volunteers took advantage of their rare moments of free time to visit other villages including the – "impressive", according to Wolfgang Idiri – of the French Navy, establish contacts with musical groups to bring them for Escale 2026. The director met "quite a few partners" but also boat managers to attract them to Sète.
