Sete ferries About Sete
Sète is also known as the Venice of the Languedoc, as the area extends around the Canal Royal, a square where the canals converge and where most of the citizens' boats are moored.
It is a colorful city with docks, lagoons, and a great cultural and historical heritage, just like Venice.
The first stop on your visit to Sète should be the old port and its canals, close to the village of Pointe-Courte, a small fishing district. You will find colorful houses, alleys full of the city's history and an atmosphere of the times that have gone by.
Don't miss the Saint Louis lighthouse, first built in 1680 and rebuilt in 1948, which now marks the entrance to the canal for boats.
You can see the famous Provençal covered markets, also called “Les Halles”, which originated in Paris in 1183. Today, the markets have been relocated due to the development of the city and France in general. You can find them just outside Paris in a real underground shopping center.
