Getting to Sète

Sète is located in the South of France, on the Mediterranean coast, in the department of the Herault and the Languedoc-Roussillon area.

Sète, "the singular island" has kept all its authenticity due to its downtown fishing port, where one can admire the "water ballet" of trawlers all year round.

Also called "Venice of Languedoc" and "Little Naples", Sète is widely influenced by the South of Italy, becausee of mass Italian immigration. One can admire the Italian like typical districts, crossed by the canals where the coloured facades of the quays are reflected.
