Sète is a very tourist-friendly town, especially during the summer season.
The Port of Sète owes its origins to Louis XIV who was looking to create an outlet to the sea for the Canal du Midi, and who encouraged its creation in 1666. Known as the île singulière (remarkable island) by Paul Valéry, Sète has been home to all sorts of artists, writers, poets and singers including Paul Valéry, Jean Vilar and Georges Brassens. Located beside the Mediterranean and the Etang de Thau, famous for its 1,300 hectares of shellfish beds, you'll love Sète during your camping holiday.
So come and discover the oyster-farming and winemaking villages in the surrounding region which, alongside Sète, comprise the Pays de Thau. Taste the famous Bouzigues oysters, visit the village of Loupian and its extraordinary Gallo-Roman villa, and the charming harbour of Marseillan with its famous Noilly Prat cellars. You'll also be able to get up high when you head for Mont Saint Clair during your stay, which, at 183 metres in height, affords fantastic views of the sea, the town and its harbour.
Sète is also a lively place, especially during the summer season. The festivals people love begin during April.

With is special location between the Mediterranean and the Etang de Thau, Sète also has 12 km of fine sand beaches, meaning you'll be able to also enjoy various watersports activities such as scuba diving, sailing, sea kayaking and windsurfing during your camping holiday.
