It is located along the Mediterranean coastline in southern France. There is a sate. The picturesque harbor town is adjacent to Ethan de Tau and the seawater lagoon known as the Sea. The town is very close to Montpellier, known for its complex network of canals. It has earned nicknames such as “Venice in Venice” and “Venice in France.”
These canals connect the lagoon and the ocean, giving the impression that the sate is floating between the surface. Just like in Venice, Italy, water is at the heart of the charm of Sate, and boat tours are a popular attraction among visitors. The Telegraph has even recently described it as “the largest Mediterranean town in France.”
As you explore, you often find charming pastel coloured rowboats floating through the canal.
Sète is highlighted by Stayure's travel insurance experts as one of the best “hidden gems” in the southern part of France.
“Set is France's answer to Venice,” they commented.
“There are regular boat tours that allow you to get a glimpse of the city from the water.
“But more Rigour is to sit on the terrace of the Calsside restaurant, so you can enjoy local oysters at Picpur des Pinette, a taste of local oysters.”
Thanks to its proximity to the vineyards of Languedoc, the area has a variety of “affordable and easy wines.”
Many pair beautifully with seafood, and with seaside locations, the Sate offers a wealth of fresh catches.
Oysters are local specialties and are grown in ethane before being distributed globally.
“The combination of fresh seawater coming to replenish the abundance of lakes, lagoon-like environments, and fresh seawater that comes to replenish the abundance of the sun means these oysters are larger, plump and much more physical compared to native British oysters,” according to a Stayer expert.
Mont St. Clair offers the perfect perspective for those who want to stretch their legs or soak in panoramic views. You can take on a 175 metre hike or drive to ensure convenient parking is available at the summit.
If you're serious about avoiding crowds, the best time to come is between May and early June, when the weather is intensifying, but other holidaymakers have not yet arrived. Or, in September, the sun is still shining, but the resort is all empty for the season.
