Sete - like all the children of Sete, singer and songwriter Georges Brassens spent
most of his childhood there swimming in the Mediterranean. Sete was originally an islandculminating in Mont St Clair,
2 spits of sand connecting it to the mainland. The creation of the Orsetti basin in 1950 and the seaport in
the late 60s turned Sete into one of the largest harbours in France. In August the basin is the setting for
the waterborne jousts between 2 traditionally opposing districts of the town. For the best views, drive of walk
along the coast road or "corniche", then descend into the town for lunch ordinner - Sete is a working port, you can be
sure to eat the freshest seafood here!
