With its very typical districts crossed by
canals, which reflect the colorful facades of houses, Sete is a seaside resort and a town of 40000 inhabitants, active in all seasons.
Our fishing port is in the centre of the town, the flotilla of trawlers and tuna boats is moored along the quays.
Discover Sète's gastronomy, with fish of the Mediterranean and shellfish from the Thau lagoon, in the restaurants along the quays.
Discover traditional events in summer : the feasts of Saint Pierre and Saint Louis, as well as three important music festivals: "Jazz in Sète", "When I think of Fernande" (French music), "Fiesta Sète"...
Whatever you prefer : lying lazily on a beach mattress, enjoying life playing beach games, or just having fun with friends at the beach bars and restaurants, you 'll enjoy the twelve km of fine sandy beaches.
There is an impressive choice of local specialities to taste like "bourride", mussels and stuffed squid, cuttlefish, "tielle", oysters and sea food...
