Sete, previously known as Cette until 1928, is a town in the Herault department in the Languedoc-Roussillon region in southern France. The town is a coastal resort and port that lies on the Mediterranean Sea coast and is regarded as the Venice of Languedoc. The town has two parts. The low-town is the location of the port and is criss-crossed by canals and bridges. The high town is located on Mont St Clair. Popular attractions with tourists in the low town are the pretty houses along the harbour , the canals and fishing. The Pointe Courte part of the town is also a 'village within a town'. There are cafes, restaurants and bars located along the canal edges.
Located at the foot of Mont St Clair, at 175 meters above sea level, the town is situated between the Gulf of Thau and the Mediterranean Sea. The vantage point from the top of Mont St Clair will provide visitors with a good sense of the town's layout and also provides lovely views of the surrounding area.
