Colbert, minister of King Louis XIV, built its port, Sete. Nowadays, it's a dynamic trade port, as well as a fishing port and a leisure resort. It's 'The Venice of Languedoc'. The call of Sete is a singular stopping place on the routes of the western Mediterranean Sea. Cruise ships berth 200 mtr from the town centre.
Passengers can visit a sunny, genuine Mediterranean town.
The Montpellier Mediterranee International Airport can handle jumbo jets. Sete Cruise Club welcomes you and implements all its resources for the success of your cruises. The Mediterranean provides a rich harvest of fish, crabs, lobsters and prawns, while the lake is home to vast numbers of delicious shellfish. Fishing and oyster farming have gently shaped the environment and delightful little fishing ports surround the lake. The remains of ancient cities remind us how much the Romans appreciated the area and climate.
