This is where the Canal du Midi starts or ends, the canal that connects the Mediterranean to the Atlantic. Sète is France's second most important commercial Mediterranean port, after Marseille, and the leading fishing port. You catch ferries here to Morocco. It has a long history but became a major port under Louis XIV. It is a bit like a mini-Venice, with less tourists and without the rip-off prices.
@boxplayer Yes, worth a day or two, especially in summer when the jousting takes place on this canal. Sète is 2 stops/16 minutes by train from Montpellier. Plenty of photos on this site, but you have to search both Sète and Sete tags.
