The charm of Sète is in the effortless energy that exhumes from the canal, the sea, the streets, the restaurants. You can walk and discover fishing boats, busy with their cargo, walk and find a restaurant to eat and watch, even in the relative cool of deepest winter. It seems there is a warmth here, perhaps because of its cosmopolitan feeling of ships from ports far away or from the young coming from the nearby university city of Montpellier. It is no wonder that Georges Brassens, who is buried here, was imbued with song and word, and also that it was to provide the inspiration for Paul Valèry. more... |

| Sports & Activities Sete Ronald Fream, one of the world’s top golf course
designers, created this inventive 18 hole course (par 72, 6279 metres), set
in colour-splashed scrubland on the Mediterranean coast. You’re not likely
to forget the tricky greens, carefully protected by bunkers, or the fabulous
setting. |

| Walk down the Saint Louis Pier (Mole
Saint Louis - originally constructed by Riquet to protect the entrance of
the port) - look at the fishing boats and yachts vie for space. Here you
will see some fo the fastest sailboats in the world as it is here that the
French train for the America's Cup. Look up at the slim lighthouse that was
rebuilt in 1948, after the devastation of the war. It is the last light
house in France equipped with a fresnel lens from rock crystal.
Perhaps take a bite in one of the wonderful restaurants on the canal before climbing up Mont Saint-Clair (183m), where you will have a wonderful view of the village, the port, the Bassin de Thau, the Cevennes, the Pyrennees. Visit the Chapelle Notre Dame de la Salette. Converted from the remnants of an old fort built by the Duke of Montmorency and dismantled by Richeleu in 1632, this church originally served some hermits who prayed for the souls of the fishermen, as well as when necessary lighting fires to warn of pirates. It was not until 1897 that the canon Gaffino de Saint Louis restored the chapelle de la Salette and became minister there. Look around to see the decorations of scenes of Sètois life. |
