FRANCE - Occitanie - Languedoc - Sète
Built on the flanks of Mont St.Clair, wedged between the Thau Lagoon, the Sea and the canals, Sète is one of the largest fishing port on the Mediterranean. In Sète, there is a sweet mixture of scents from the Sea and the garrigue (Mediterranean scrubland) in the air.
Along the edges of the canals are attractive buildings housing shops, restaurants and bars and strolling along these streets edged with small boats is a real pleasure. Sète is located at 35-45 minutes from Montpellier by train or road. The Canal du Midi, built in the 17th century and still considered an engineering marvel, is now used for pleasure boating between Bordeaux (Atlantic) and Sète (Mediterranean).
