Sète

Just 45 minutes from the Hotel du Parc Euromédecine by Akena in Montpellier, Sète invites you to discover its canals, its Mediterranean port atmosphere and its authentic charm. Often called "the Venice of Languedoc," this seaside city seduces with its rich cultural heritage and its exceptional landscapes.

Arriving in Sète, you are immediately captivated by the network of canals that crisscross the city and the beauty of its quays, animated by fishing and pleasure boats. In the heart of the city, the Royal Canal is an unmissable place, lined with colorful houses and small restaurants where you can taste local specialties, such as the tielle sétoise, a seafood pie not to be missed. Every summer, Sète hosts the famous nautical jousts, an impressive and colorful tradition where teams compete on wooden boats, to the great delight of the spectators.

By gaining a little height, Mont Saint-Clair offers a panoramic view of the city, the port and the sea. It is an ideal place for a walk and a picnic with a breathtaking view of the Mediterranean. On the way back down, the marine cemetery, sung by Paul Valéry, a poet from Sète, awaits you with its exceptional view and peaceful atmosphere.

For art and culture lovers, the Paul Valéry Museum and the International Museum of Modest Arts offer fascinating collections, highlighting the cultural richness of the region and the maritime influences of Sète.
