SETE : The Town

SETE is an ancient port on the Mediterranean coast. Just south of Montpellier and west of the Camargue, it is close to the wine growing regions of Corbieres and Fitou and is a lively bustling town all year round.

Cap St. Louis. These comfortable apartments, overlooking the sea, are set in a landscaped piazza with a residents-only pool and are situated between the old town and the Corniche's long golden sands. Within the same complex is a three star hotel with its own restaurant open to non-residents; also bars/cafes/restaurants/hairdresser and a nearby laundrette.

Buses stop outside the lower piazza. A mini-super market is just along the road.

SETE : Cap St. Louis

The apartments, mainly occupied by permanent French residents, overlook the harbour and port from which the local fishermen can be seen unloading their catch to supply the numerous fish restaurants for which the Town is renowned.

Opposite, adjacent to the fish market, is the marina and the long wide jetty where the America's Cup base is to be found.

Within easy walking distance is the town centre with elegant shops and tea-rooms, indoor and outdoor markets, theatres, cinemas, lovely squares and a flower market. Cafes, bars and restaurants border the three canals running through this busy town.

SETE: The Town Environs

Rising above the Town and Cap St. Louis is Mont St.Clair. The walk to the top is rewarded by a spectacular view of the Mediterranean, the Town, and the Basin de Thau with its famous Bouzigues oyster beds. For the less energetic there is a bus - and of course the car. Passenger and charter sailings are available from boats on the canals. Also port sailings to Morocco.

GOLF Sete is well served for golfers. There is an 18 hole championship course plus 9 hole chip and putt at Cap Agde. Other courses Montpellier, Beziers and Nîmes.

Further Afield:

Montpellier: Only fifteen minutes by train from Sete. The town has so much to offer that we recommend information should be sought from the Tourist Office.

Nimes: Origin of the famous textile 'de Nimes' now known 'denim'. An old Roman town. The bull-ring of to-day is the most complete Roman arena in existence. An ancient site of gladiatorial combats, it is still in use to-day on Sundays throughout the summer for bullfights. Further on still are the towns of Arles and Avignon.

The Camargue: World famous for its nature reserve and of course the white horses.

La Grande Motte: For those with a taste for a town with the most unusual modern architecture.

Carcassonne: One of the most famous medieval walled cities in the world.

Beziers: An historical town, dating from the Roman invasion. Scene of a wholesale slaughter of the Cathars by Simon de Montfort and site of an old Roman arena still used for bullfighting.

Andorra: The tiny tax-haven deep in the Pyrenees is within a day's outing as is crossing the border into Spain. Remember - a Bail Bond may be required.
