The 32 best neighborhoods to see in Sete

A wonderful place to have the entire view of the Sete, it takes 30 to go up and it could be windy. You should come here if you like the city view.

Such a great spot to take in the gorgeous canals of Sète and the Mediterranean views. Totally worth a visit!

Sete is a lovely town. The climb to the top is quite something. However the view is rather remarkable.

It's worth the visit❤️ 225 steps up to the mountain!! Dominating the Mediterranean at a height of 175 meters at sea level, Mont Saint-Clair is an ancient volcano which gives a very particular silhouette to the city of Sète. From its summit, a magnificent panorama overlooks the canals and its port, the Richelieu citadel, the lighthouse and the famous marine cemetery where Paul Valéry, the French writer, poet and philosopher has been buried since 1945.

It’s a long hike from the city center but an amazing panoramic view of Sete at the top. Not the best road for a steep hike. Been there, done that and I’m glad I checked it off my list.

Great views over Sete. Lovely views at sunset. Lots of parking.

Wonderful views. The chapel is lovely well worth a visit.

Amazingly unfriendly man & 1 woman at reception. The other woman seemed nice but didn't get much of a say. We arrived at 0945 in Sète & by the time we got to the place by bus it was 11AM. The guy moaned we hadn't left enough time & should come back at 2PM but there seems to be nothing nearby. He was more interested in not having you there & getting you out for their 2 hour lunch than sharing this place with you. It's mostly just an audio tour, albeit a good one. You can likely get the videos online & fill in the rest with a biography. If it was better located with vastly better staff it would be worthwhile.

The expo is very nice, but it is purely dedicated to George Brassens, so you'd have to be a fan to really like it.

Friendly place to visit

Excellent. Dedicated space to talented French singer George Brassens. Friendly staff.

A nice museum dedicated to the life of Brassens . The audio tour is very well done and interesting.

17:03 entry denied. Ridiculous.

I just like everything they showed in the exhibition.

along the shoreline of this beautiful lake there are multiple oyster farms transformed into restaurants, serving fairly priced fresh seafood of all sorts from clams, snails, oysters, shrimps, and all. i highly recommend to visit it during the early day, as most of these places do close quite early, and probably sell the catch of the day so if you come later some might already be sold out.

Amazing to visit if you love something different

I like this beautiful place. I like Sete and France.

Super

(Translated by Google) This is a beautiful pond where we visited the oyster beds by boat! A lovely walk in the sunshine and calm waters, and we learned about the culture. I highly recommend it! (Original) Bel étang sur lequel nous sommes allés pour visiter les parcs à huîtres en bateau! Une belle promenade avec soleil et eau calme, en plus d’en apprendre sur la culture. Je recommande!

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful place. Clean water and clean beach. Lots of fish while we were swimming. Not many people when we came. (Original) Très belle endroit. Eau propre et plage propre. Beaucoup de poisson pendant que nous nagions. Peu de monde lors de notre venue.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful lake where you can swim, and even take a boat trip. Swimming is pleasant; the water is much warmer than the sea, although after 50 meters, you're right in the seaweed. The seaweed washed up on the banks has a strong smell, which is a bit unpleasant when you think about the surrounding area, but bearable. A shuttle bus is located on the lake, connecting Sète and Mèze by water, at a cost of €6 per trip. Boating on the lake is very pleasant, and swimming on the equipped beaches (sand, lifeguards) is enjoyable in warm weather. The crowds are more than adequate; no matter the day, you won't be stepping on each other's toes. In Mèze in particular, the Languedoc Jousting tournaments are held on the lakeside, adding yet another quality to this lake. In addition, a festival, the Thau Festival, takes place every year nearby. With music and views of the lake, a great time is guaranteed! I highly recommend it! (Original) Très bel Étang dans lequel il est possible de se baigner, et même de faire un tour en bateau. La baignade est agréable, l'eau est bien plus chaude que la mer, malgré qu'au bout de 50m nous avons les pieds en plein dans les algues. Les algues échouées sur les berges sentent fort ce qui est un peu désagréable en pensent aux abords mais supportable. Une navette se trouve notamment sur l'étang faisant le lien par l'eau entre Sète et Mèze, au prix de 6€ le trajet. La navigation sur l'étang est très agréable et la baignade sur les plages aménagées (sable, surveillance baignade) est appréciable par temps chaud. L'affluence est plus que correcte, peu importe le jour on ne se marchera pas dessus. À Mèze notamment se trouve aux abords du lac les tournois de Joutes languedociennes qui rajoutent encore une autre qualité à cet Étang. De plus, un festival, le Festival de Thau a lieu chaque année à ses abords, musique et vue sur l'étang, bon moment assuré ! Je recommande vivement !

A small but great collection! The space is nice and calm, with a lovely view of the sea.

A nice art museum on the hill in Sète. Interesting exhibition about the multifaceted Paul Valery. Even better was the temporary exhibition of Philippe Cognée. A nice retreat during our vacation!

I enjoyed my visit to this beautiful museum. Excelkwction of art as well as the special exposition. The museum is perched above an historic and well-maintained cemetary and has a view of the sea.

Well worth a stroll up the hill on a cooler day. A beautiful collection, and welcoming staff. The first Sunday of every month is free to visitors

Great gallery with good cafe at the entrance! We were pleased to see the Martial Raysse exhibition which is on until 5 November.

Good exhibitions, but much of the floorspace is devoted to the paintings of various artists, and there’s limited information on the life of Paul Valéry outside of his experiences in occupied Paris. In some respects, I learned more from my guide book (e.g. Valéry’s intense interest in contemporary scientific inquiry) than from the museum! Nevertheless, what there is on the poet is well presented and the main exhibition when I visited (Philippe Cognée) was interesting

Great gallery! Jean Hugo' temporary exposition at the moment - worth the visit!

Nice View Point 500 m off the City. I stayed only some 10 minutes there as it was very windy. Interesting memory plate for "Exodus47", the ship which started from there with Jewish emigrants for that time British Palestine in 1947 Hard Access for bicycles and handicaped as the dam to Lighthouse is plastered.

Add many times as I've been down to the lighthouse, this was the first time I've gone inside. It was a great view from up there. The young man who was selling tickets was very polite, helpful and friendly. He practiced his English and I practiced my French! A wonderfully pleasant visit all in all.

Sailed into harbour this morning, Very Quaint

Beautiful view from here

Beautiful view of Séte ❤

Nice views from the top.

Great views of the harbour, boats being repaired, the breakwater etc

It’s an unbelieveble venue. The sound, the sea, the fact that you can’t get huge crowds in it makes it the perfect venue for any type of concert.

It's a fabulous venue for live events. Seun Kuti was top drawer. I am au fait with a lot of his politics too btw. The support act was sublime too, dare I say it? Even better on the night!

Théatre de la mer à Sète is a very very nice venue for live music. I went there to see thr Jazz à Sète vestival for Marcus Miller & Herbie Hancook (separate days) and both concerts were great however a few takeways from this: Take cash with you because you cannot pay with the card unless it’s 10 eur and above Staff removes water bottle caps and forcefully opens your drink for you even if you wanna drink or consume later The venue was 20-30% overbooked so there was no places for everyone to sit The transportation in and out was a bit complicated, out more than in as you have to wait 30 min after the show’s over to catch the small ferry back to where you’ve parked the car

Been going since 2010 to the Worldwide Festival. Amazing place, many goosebumps have been felt here

Wonderful concert arena with pretty good and reasonably priced food and drinks.

This is the main venue for the annual Worldwide Festival. It's hard to think there's a better theatre in the world. Climb to the top and the view is breathtaking. Whatever's on when you're in Sete, go and see it because the Theatre de la Mer is a star in itself.

Brilliant, brilliant music venue. Atmospheric, spacious, beautiful views, amazing space. Friendly staff and not too busy even when sold out. A must visit!

Lovely exposition with an even better backstory (August 2023).

It would be nice if you had been open.....

(Translated by Google) Currently closed. Reopening on September 5th at 6:30 pm for an exhibition. The area is worth a visit: church, street art, and pretty alleyways. (Original) Actuellement fermé.

La Pointe Courte is a traditional fishing district in northern Sète, bordered by the Canal Royal and the Étang de Thau. Established in the 19th century by fishermen who built homes on reclaimed land, it remains a close-knit community where locals still practice small-scale fishing and shellfish harvesting. Known for its narrow alleys, weathered houses, and visible maritime life, the neighborhood has resisted major tourism and retains its quiet, working-class character.

ecclectic little fishing town, worth a stop for some scenic bay views and amusing walk from every corner. a must in sète!

We visited after watching the movie, La Pointe Courte. Highly recommend. Makes you appreciate the history of the neighbourhood.

We walk from the center to find the murals... there is nothing there. But the streets are lovely to walk by. Something different

Quaint little fishing village area on outskirts of sete but easy to reach on foot. Had a fete on so good vibe

Cute fisherman’s quarter

Went to visit la pointe courte during our visit to Sète because of the famous Agnes Varda film. It is recognisably the same place, just, but hurry, the corporates and the bourgeoisie are at the gate. In a few years it will all be holiday lets and second-homes.

A beautiful small chapel on the hilltop of Mont St Clair. After reading the history, it became even more interesting 🤓📚 There were candles for purchase inside the chapel as well 🕯

Lovely little chapel dedicated to pirates! It appears to be all hand painted inside. Spectacular view from the top of mont St Clair you get a full 360° view of Setè the etang and over Marseillen to Agdè.

Worth the steep walk here for the 360-degree view of Sète and beyond. There's a panoramic terrace in the adjacent building, up 3 flights of stairs.

Old chapel, but very well conserved and nice to see all the paintings on the walls. It's approximately dated on classical era.

One of the most unique chapels in France. The frescos inside are both inspiring and beautiful.

A calm atmosphere, so peaceful

Beautiful quiet chapel

Fun

(Translated by Google) Very pleasant walk in this typical fishing district. You can walk along the canal then take the crossings. Two beautiful murals, the flying boat and crazy fishermen to admire at the bend of the crossings as well as a tribute to Agnès Varda. (Original) Très agréable promenade dans ce quartier de pêcheurs typique. On peut longer le canal puis emprunter les traverses.

One of the best museums I have ever been, very nice they allow to enter with a dog)

Nice venue with some interesting art. Its not your normal kind of display. Some nice artifacts from the 80s and 90s to make you think of younger days.

Try hard "art" that simply isn't much good. Find a nice Cafe instead and save

A nice gallery space, the exhibition was interesting apart from the many racist artworks by an artist named Herve di Rosa, a white man. His art works featured in the exhibition were nothing short of offensive towards black people and people of colour, and this type of work shouldn’t be given a platform. Disappointing Additionally, it would have been nice to have been able to access the central courtyard/garden area in the warmer weather, as this was closed.

Very fantastic museum. The permanent collection is wonderful and unique. It’s the kind of museum that really surprises you. There was an exhibition of 3D printings, not nearly as nice as the collection but interesting as well. The ladies in the entrance were really kind and kept our stroller for us. The access to the third floor might be a bit tricky for older people or someone with disabilities. Overall, if you are in Sète you should go to this place, it’s mindblowing.

For my visit there was an exhibition of psychedelic paintings which is not so much my thing. Also the permanent collection whilst impressive wasn't for me. However I believe the exhibition's change frequently, the museum is very charming and for the price of the ticket, worth a quick visit. :)

Very nice museum, The exhibition was called "fait machine" and focused on 3D printing. Very cool.

I wanted to visit the museum and had a backpack with me as a day visitor to Sète. The lady at the reception, with whom I communicated in French, told me it was not possible for me to visit the museum as they do not have lockers for bags. After me a man came out with a (smaller) backpack and reassured me that he was able to visit the museum. Très très bizarre !!!

A simple, free museum that covers up the history of Sete, it’s interesting for those who want to know a bit more about Sete. Not much content but still recommend for those who have time.

Tiny but nice museum. Worth to visit!

The museum in itself is very very small although it is organized well. It is located in what seems like a modern Mediterranean Villa just near the cemetery (which you should checkout). Generally it could be a good way to kill 45 but only if you speak French, There are no English explanations and no audio guide. We left knowing no more then when we came.

It's free ! I really enjoyed it ! Small exhibition about local traditional boats and jousting (yes, it's not a typo) ! Nice lady at the entrance !

Luckily it was free when I went. It's very limited. Quite a few partial ship models but there almost all the same. No gift shop with interesting books. (Nothing at all)

An excellent and free -entry little museum- to know the history about Sète and " la Mer". it's worth a visit! Very near from theCemetery Marin...

Superb brew pub in Sete. Great beers. Currently loving the imperial stout - it's great.

Really great place. Awesome selection of beers brewed by the place and bottles from other breweries. Nice staff. Had a sharing board too. They had a couple of excellent alcohol-free beers in bottles that were above the usual Heineken 0.

Top! Few options for tap beer But various in taste n aroma n intensity. Definitely wd go again in we r around

Good to chill and nice biere

A place you have to visit if you like bear tasting and a friendly environment. They are there own factory and give you 8 great choices. A have to🍻

Excellent place for beer brewed here. Good taste and choice. The tapas is good as well. Staff very friendly despite my poor french

Friendly Craft Beer Bar where they also brew their own, which is recommended. Good stock of other beers and snacks are available.

Nice place.. new beach in Sete

Nice beach , with a few rockpools and a snack bar in close proximity!

Beautiful beach and easy free parking

Don't miss this beach if you ever happen to be in Montpellier and sete

Super !

(Translated by Google) A beautiful, uncrowded beach on a scorching Friday afternoon. Accessible by bus directly from the train station, the magnificent route to get there runs along the sea. Very clean, supervised, and a mat rolled out on the sand allows access for wheelchairs and strollers. This is the first time I've seen this! Bravo! (Original) Une belle plage très peu fréquentée un vendredi après-midi de canicule. Accessible en bus directement à partir de la gare, le magnifique trajet pour s’y rendre longe la mer.

Lovely spot to eat on the beach, lots of great grilled fish. Recommended.

Too long to wait the dinner but the food was really delicious

Great great great. We were recommended by a restaurant owner Marion in Sommières (Sansavino, see my other review). She booked for us and boy was she right. No saint tropez arrogance, just great hospitality and food. Waiters were very attentive, and the food was fresh and really good. By far the best in the row of beach bars.

It is the perfect place, very fresh sea food, fantastic grilled fish and desert are good too. . They are very customer focus and the atmosphere is authentic! Don't hesitate!!

Such a beautiful spot on the beach. If you’re looking for a place to chill and enjoy the sea and the sun well go for it. Great cocktails and the staff is sexy and very kind.

A convivial and relaxing dining experience. The food was delicious and served by friendly and welcoming waitstaff. The open view to the Med is nothing short of amazing. We will be returning often (starting with today!)

A dream of a place. Simple, no bling-bling, with great fish and seafood (alternatives available). Jacques and Christine run a great, friendly team. Very reasonably priced sun beds with drinks service. Fabulous beach. Go in the evening, dine and watch the sunset on the sea. Paradise!

I heard good stuff about the Restaurant. The last time I was here, I was a bit late and could not enjoy there food, but still I was very welcome and had a good time. For that they should get 5 stars. Unfortunately not today, shortly after they opened, I asked if I can get some food and something to drink. I did not booked in advanced though, as I just cycled here. The staff showed me the menu but told me that it was not possible, as all the places were fully booked. At the time there were not many people there. That said the lady seemed to have a hard day, who knows. Maybe it was the language barrier. Such a pity, that they could not make place for one person at least for a drink and they made this clear in a bit of an assertive way. And that is the reason for the low rating this time, sorry. So, it seems you need to book in advanced as the restaurant filled up quickly.

It's not a bar anymore nor a coffee shop. They decided to go Tapas. The server was rude on arrival, but another was more friendly. As we sat several were turned away, as they had come for the bar. On the bright side the food was good. Expensive though. Apparently it was a good place once but now the quest for funds has overtaken the caché it once had.

Cool place with a decent prized plentiful menu.

Gorgeous, unpretentious food and the staff was so kind and welcoming. We came at lunch and it was super chill with no wait. Shrimp and mussels were excellent and the oysters were the best we’ve had in France!

We enjoyed the whole experience.

A Sète favourite. As always - great fun nice tapas and good service

Arrogant attitute towards non-French tourists, lack of communication skills. Not recommended.

Café was way to strong but overall its a very nice place.

Simple but good food, welcoming and friendly staff, and very accommodating with allergies. Felt well taken care of from start to finish. Highly recommend!

A lovely café with excellent coffee and delicious matcha lattes. They offer great vegan and gluten-free options. The staff are always very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!

If you want coffee in Sete go here. Friendly staff, great food and coffee to both take out and have outside at very comfortable tables. Highly recommended.

Cute. Vegan options. Very good coffee and staff.

Could this place be any cuter? This spot is wonderful for a snack and great cup of tea. The staff are absolutely charming.

Wonderful cafe - fresh, homemade food and great coffee. Highly recommend.

Nice beach calm and enjoyable, best place for families

Pretty beach, crystal clear water!

One of the best beaches in Sète, clean, family friendly and calm for swimming...

Nickel

We rented sun loungers which were a bit expensive but had plenty of umbrellas for shade and there was a bar/restaurant at the back with table service.

Really nice place.

Super

The archeological find is beautifull, the information about it educational and i like that they are restoring it. The buildings they are in could use a little pimp though😉

Very good introduction into the scientific work in the entrance of this Roman Villa -- with sheets with explanations translated into several languages (among them English, German, Spanish and of course a French sheet). Keep supporting this site, so they may continue their good work.

The site is impressive. Keep supporting them so they can afford restorations and a makeover for the buildings

Amazing restored mosaics of a summer home in about 500AD

Nice exposition of the foundations and mosaics of a gallo-roman villa

Small but cool site, it houses the remains of an old Roman 'vacation' house with beautiful mosaics. They clearly make a distinction between what they added for effect and what is original, nicely done and they didn't overdo it. Very friendly staff!

Artifacts from a Roman villa. The main attraction is the 14 or so magnificent mosaic tiled floors. Although they suffered serious damage over the centuries, they have been beautifully restored so they can be appreciated. The exhibits are described in French, English, Italian, German, and more.

An amazing space. Free to enter which is also amazing. The exhibition that I saw was extremely impressive and full of humour and the staff are very friendly, approachable and informative. Great place.

Wonderful space for culture, free entrance, kids friendly.

A very nice contemporary art exposition. A mix of paint sculpture and audio-video installation.

Nice temporary exposition good for rainy (even sunny) Sunday evening outing

Excellent show presenting wide range of work by contemporary women.

Nice building. Light and airy.

Ok 👌

About 30 minute walk up the hill with kids including 230 stairs. Definitely worth it! The view is amazing. Bring some 1 euro coins to use the binoculars or bring your own. Just around the corner is a very good cafe called Le Haut with delicious salads, paninis and waffles. Everything is very nice up there!

An amazing view but very steep road up,even the "easy" way. Definitely take a taxi Uber or private vehicle

The views are okay not that beautiful as expected but this is my opinion and I got so many other beautiful views in our vacations. For Sete you can see the surroundings and the area beaches...You can go there by bus (line 5 - stop Mont Saint-Clair) or by car (parking slots available).

Breathtaking Night Views Over Étang de Thau We visited Le Panoramique Sainte-Claire in Sète during the evening to avoid the summer heat — and it was absolutely worth it. The hike up at night was peaceful and gave us a unique way to enjoy the surroundings without the crowds or intense sun. Once at the top, the view over Étang de Thau and the city of Sète is simply magical. The lights of the town shimmer below, and the peaceful atmosphere makes it the perfect spot to take a breath, admire the beauty, and reflect. There are also charming star-shaped lights set into the pathway, adding to the dreamlike experience. Highly recommended for a quiet evening escape with panoramic views — just bring good shoes, a camera, and maybe even a little picnic.

175 metres high, fantastic views of Sete, Frontignan, Balaruc-les-Bains and Bouzigues. The small chapel of Notre-dame-de-la-Salette is worth a visit.

Great place, good view of sete

Nice view over the city and the ocean. There are to walking paths up, one longer that is less steep and one that is almost only stairs.

Staying here felt like slipping into a gentler, more authentic rhythm of life — the kind that the South of France was famous for. The location couldn’t be more perfect: right in the center of the lovely, quiet town of Mèze, where whitewashed walls reflect the endless blue sky, washing on the line and the scent of the sea drifts through streets. Think Saint-Tropez in the 60s. The quiet port a street away is lined with charming cafés and some of the best fish restaurants you’ll ever try. It’s a human-sized town where everything is close, life moves at a slower pace, the community brings you in and each day feels like it’s touched by the sun. It is also a good launchpad for discovering the arrière-pays - the rolling hills and beautiful villages of the Hérault or set off for long bike rides down the Etang de Thau and the coast. The studio is comfortable, private, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you need — a fully fitted kitchen, private bathroom, balcony, and even space for bikes or sailboards. You have the freedom of your own entrance, the convenience of nearby parking, and the ease of laundry facilities. Inside feels like every detail has been considered, from fresh linens to a coffee maker, so you can truly relax. This is more than just a place to stay — it’s a place to breathe, to write, to paint, to enjoy simple pleasures, and to be taken care of by Barbara, a warm and attentive host who makes you feel instantly welcome. It’s for those who want to live like locals, take their time, and truly switch off.

Super

On the evening of July 13th, we were able to park without any problem in this large parking lot which was also full of cars for the festivities, far from imagining the surprise the next morning. No more cars! We are not used to reading the information on the illuminated signs. We had to first run to the municipal police to get a release and then contact the garage that was serving as an impound lot to recover our vehicle with of course an amount of €135 to pay for 1 hour and a half of parking. Not to mention the fine we will receive. It would have been so simple to put up your barriers to block the passage of cars rather than authorizing parking for the evening. Unfortunately, with this unforeseen event, I did not go to one of the restaurants in the port as planned. It seems to me that this is simply a scam!! Because of this bad memory, I will not return to this pretty town where places are extremely expensive! (Original) Nous venons de séjourner dans un air b and b, sur le port de la commune de Meze, tout près du grand parking des Tonneliers comme nous avait indiquer notre hôte. Nous avions deux véhicules avec nos amis. Le 13 juillet au soir, nous avons pu nous garer sans problème sur ce grand parking qui était d''ailleurs pleins de voitures pour les festivités, sans loin de nous imaginer la surprise du lendemain matin. Plus de voitures! Nous n'avons pas l'habitude de lire les infos sur les panneaux lumineux. Nous avons dû courir d'un premier temps à la police municipale pour obtenir une main levée et ensuite contacter le garage qui servait de fourrière pour récupérer notre véhicule avec bien sure un montant à payer de 135€ pour 1h et demi de parking. Sans compter l'amende que nous allons recevoir. Il aurait été si simple de mettre vos barrières pour bloquer le passage des voitures plutôt que d'autoriser pour la soirée le parking. Hélas avec cet imprévu, je ne suis pas allée dans un des restaurant du port comme de l'avais projeté. Il me semble que c'est tout simplement du raket!! Par ce mauvais souvenir, je ne reviendrai pas dans cette jolie commune ou les places sont extrêmement cher!

Village préservé (comme le font les suisses) merci

(Translated by Google) We stopped by the tourist office near the port and had a pleasant chat with a tourist information officer. We left delighted with a map of the village and the sites to visit. (Original) Passage à l'office de tourisme à côté du port et un bel échange avec un agent de cette structure. Sommes repartis ravis avec un plan du village et des sites à visiter.

An excellent market. A good variety of stalls. All of a good standard. A s expected there are a number of excellent seafood stalls. The stallholders all seem knowledgeable and friendly. A numbers of tables to eat your purchases should you wish. Clean free public toilets at the back of the market.

As a foodie traveling to fulfill my bucket list items with regional specialty food everywhere I go, the Halles in Sete was especially rewarding! I mean, Wednesday morning market offered a half dozen Bouzique oysters and a glass of Picpoul by nine and a Tielle by ten, The Halle itself is loaded with food vendors of every type, many offering seating to enjoy their offerings, but outside the streets for blocks in every direction are similarly filled! The assortments of paella alone had me sad I couldn't eat more! Dare I say, Barcelona's Bocqueria didn't thrill me more, and it's always sets the bar for me!

Halles de Sete was one of the highlights of our recent visit to Sete. This fresh food market has everything you could want, gorgeous seafood, locally caught and available to purchase and eat right there, amazing cheeses and smallgoods, all locally made and lovingly offered to us to taste, along with crusty french bread and fresh vegetables and fruit. We spent a goof couple of hours here, enjoying local oysters with a cool dry white wine and then enjoyed octopus carpaccio and a fabulous country style terrine. there are plenty of tables and chairs to sit at either inside or out with roving waiters happy to bring you a choice of wine or spirits to enjoy, The coffee was also amazing as was the prepared food offer on the outer ring of the market. Sete itself is a lovely town and we were made to feel really welcome by the locals. We spent the afternoon shopping the small streets, before heading off. Definitely a place to visit again and stay a little longer so we can take full advantage of this fabulous market and seaside location.

This market is right in the center of Séte and for a food lover it is the heart of the city! Be sure to get there early for shopping as things close before 14:00. The oyster stand in the center offers 6 fresh oysters (any size) for 5€ and incredible oyster gratin. My favorite place in the city. Don’t miss the fried anchovies at the side resto stall either!

Grab some shucked oysters, a plate of charcuterie or a Setoise tielle (mussel pie), find a seat in the middle, order a glass of picpoul and you've got the perfect brunch. This place is the heart of Sete. It's real, not a tourist market, but everyone's welcome and you'll find some amazing seafood and fish (the star of the show; much of it hauled out of the sea by Sete's fishing fleet), fruit and veg and epicerie stalls.

Amazing farmer's market in Sete with lot's of fresh seafood,meats,cheeses and a great soap stand where I stock up on a wide variety of French olive oil soaps! This is also where the locals go to meet and have a reasonably priced fresh meal. Kirk Regalia Lauderdale by the Sea, Florida U.S.A.

This is a great food hall in sete!! We go every summer for the oysters, charcuterie, and tielle. All locally run stalls with fresh food and everything is so yummy!

Extraordinary view over the whole city but very few things to do. We werent able to eat since one restaurant was closed already and the other one was already full at 7 pm. So for the view it's very impressive but apart form that you can't really do much. But it still makes up with a stunning view and a memorable picture.

Loved it, amazing views of the Etang

Love this place for its astonishing views of the surrounding areas of Sete. Nice hiking destination starting literally from your doorstep. There are many spots to have a picnic or simply enjoy sunny day.

Really beautiful place, can see the surrounding of Sète, it was great place to visit

Nice place to walk around and have a pique nique.. Nice view on the lido. Peaceful.

No views worth mentioning - they're all blocked by trees. Otherwise, nothing much of interest and the little bar/restaurant on site called La Safari is an absolute disgrace (look it up for reviews). Go to the other side of the hill for spectacular views.

Panoramic views but obstructed by trees. Better views at St. Mont Clair.

Booked online for the 1.5 hour cruise for 2pm on 20th Sept 2024. We didn't receive any email confirmation, only a receipt. Emailed the Company to advise them this and ask how do we get ticket confirmation the night before. No response from the Company. Arrived at the time we booked 2pm at the boat to be greeted by a rude captain who claimed he could speak no English, but to say to us, 'I'm not a bank'. Most unhelpful considering cruise was paid for in advance. Strangled more English came as the minutes passed and our frustration grew with him. We accept things can go wrong and when they do, most companies do their best to right the situation. This person was not interested in being helpful at all. Eventually a lady in the booth confirmed we had booked and paid and we were allowed on board. The experience left a bad taste considering 5 weeks in Europe in 9 countries and this was our first experience of poor service.

It was a nice cruise, but we dis not see the oysters due to the weather (which was not so bad) and they should not sell a higher cost excursion on the windy days. You get less for your money.

Excellent trip. Speed was perfect for taking lots of photos. The host was entertaining and the English information booklet was very useful.

Great way to get an overview of Setè, a small slice of the French Mediterranean. Please note the tour is only done in French, no translation except on laminated paper. We took the red circuit route, Aquarius.

Great trip through the canals of Sete and into the Etang de Tau. Very good guide and captain..a definite highlight on our weekend. Highly recommended. Great value also. Thank you.

A really fun way to visit the harbour of Sète. The boat has transparent panels in it's hull. So you can see the bottom of the sea when it is not too agitated (it becomes very milky when the waves are up). A must do to give your kids a good time. And even as an adult, I've done it at least three times and always found it enjoyable.

You need to buy your ticket from the booth further up the road. Arrive early as the seats are first come, first served. If you sit at the front you will get wet from the spray as the boat goes back to the harbour quite fast after the tour has finished. There is no shade, toilet or drinks available on the boat. You get to go in the glass bottom once out at a mussel farm area. Commentary was live and in french only.

Nice beach with a partial breakwater

Devine!

Great beach and I saw plenty of friendly fishies as I snorkeled around the rocks.

Good parking area near the beach. The beach itself is also family friendly, good space and shallow water.

One of the best beaches in France. I love this place and peoples around here.

Perfect beach for sunbathing with cool vibes beach-hut serving top quality food and drink and providing comfy sun loungers.

Shame there's only I counter for collecting prepaid tickets. Noone was at the empty 'for sale' counter...nearly missed the performance! Inside its a wonderful place. Small enough to be intimate. A little too pink maybe inside.

Such a nice theatre for a so sweet town. I wish I watch a show here.

Beautiful place! A truly unique old style theater.

Super ,

Beautiful theater, nice bar and restaurant

Beautiful theatre and such an awesome program of shows!
