Hitchin' a ride

Not quite what Mitch Murray and Pete Calendar had in mind when they wrote this hit song for Vanity Fare in 1969, but that is just what you do.

The Bateau Bus is a new innovation this year. It goes up and down the Herault river between Agde and Grau d'Agde during the summer season and if you want a lift, you just flag it down. 

It works best if you happen to be waiting by a good mooring point, otherwise it could be a bit tricky. 

I must look up the French for "ahoy" !
