Leave Seté with some worry about busy road but not a problem. Early Sunday morning probably helps. Tail two French cyclists into Frontignac plage where we pick up some dedicated cycle lanes between lakes and the sea. Stop at beach for a group photo in our gear...

... then continue past some leaping fly-catching fish, a nice market in Vic-la-Gardiole and then into Villeneuve-les-Maguelone just 3-4km out from the pick-up point. The dedicated lanes make it a breeze. Have a quick explore, get some fruit and head for the final busy section which we negotiate with ease. Get changed and freshed up, have a superb Maccy Dees which sits in my gut like a log and await under a canopy for the coach home. Discover we have the coach to ourselves and indulge in sleep, food and DVDs through the night onto the ferry and to our final destination home where we part and the touring trois say goodbye. We later see Redmond who has a fixed smile and as the family is back together again this is where I'll end our journey. The End.

Day 16 Sete to St-Jean-de-Vedas: 33 kilometres/21 miles, 0800h-1200h, m up m down, 8 km/h (with breaks)
