Bordered by the Thau Basin on one side and the Mediterranean on the other, Sète, an hour and a half from Toulouse, is southern France’s second largest port—and gateway to the Languedoc. It’s also the birthplace of singer-songwriter Georges Brassens and poet Paul Valéry. Today, a new generation of local artists finds plenty to draw inspiration from in the town: covered markets, picturesque seaside restaurants, and enough canals to earn Séte the nickname “Little Venice of the Languedoc.”
