I return to Sete each summer - this is my guide to the underrated French town people call the 'Venice of the Languedoc'
"In winter, Sète is far from closed, unlike more tourism-focused towns, and still has wonderful markets to explore each day, incredible seafood, and it is the region's black truffle season."
"Wandering down the city's main canals, you are greeted by an array of fish restaurants, all serving the day's catch. The locals are known for a few key dishes, such as rockfish soup, oysters, and tielle."
"Just outside the city centre are 12 kilometres of sandy beaches, where the cooler waters of the Mediterranean offer a welcome contrast to the warmer Thau lagoon."
"The South of France has so much to offer, and the renewed interest in cities like Marseille has been wonderful to witness. I will be taking myself to the Occitania region for a more varied Euro summer."
Sète remains lively in winter, featuring daily markets, fresh seafood, and the black truffle season from November to February. Les Halles de Sète is known for its rich aromas. The city boasts numerous fish restaurants serving local specialties like rockfish soup and grilled oysters. Nearby, 12 kilometers of sandy beaches provide diverse experiences, from family-friendly Lazaret Beach to nature-focused Jalabert. The South of France is gaining renewed interest, with Sète offering a unique alternative to more tourist-heavy areas, promising a summer filled with local cuisine and activities.
