Fête Saint Pierre - the Blessing at Sea


The boats are full - Saint Peter himself, the priest, the mayor - all ready to sail out into the bay for the blessing of those who died at sea.

This is our last day at the Festival of Saint Peter. Thanks so much to everyone who came along for the ride.

    I never fail to be mesmerised by all the terracotta buildings stepping down to the sea.

    Just love your images showing the houses scattering the hillsides there.
