Documentary filmmaker Rémi Sautet is launching a boat trip this summer 2024 in the footsteps of Georges Brassens in Sète, guided by the song poet's own video archives.

""You will envy a little the eternal summer visitor, who pedals on the wave while dreaming, who spends his death on vacation"" . It is from this ""poetic affirmation"" taken from "" The supplication to be buried on the beach of Sète "" signed by the man with the pipe, that the documentary filmmaker Rémi Sautet concocted his new project dedicated to Brassens: ""the Brassens trip, by boat with Georges".   An original creation which substantially enriches the Brassens route in Sète. ""For 2 hours, I show that he is spending his death well on vacation in Sète!"" , smiles the director.
