The tour starts with a meeting point in the Quartier Haut, one of the oldest and liveliest areas in Sète. From the very first minutes, you'll discover the area on foot, at a gentle pace, taking the time to soak up the atmosphere of the area.
Through the alleys, stairs, and small squares, the guide shares the popular history of the Upper Quarter, its origins, its inhabitants, and its close connection with the local artistic life. The views of the city and the port help you better understand Sète's unique geography and its constant relationship with the sea.
Depending on the days and opening hours, the visit can be enriched by the discovery of lively cultural places, such as an exhibition in the chapel of an old convent, open artists' workshops, or the Marine Cemetery. These stops add a sensitive and current dimension to the walk.
The tour then continues with a gradual descent towards the port, connecting the Upper Quarter to the coast. The walk ends along the fishing port and the marina, in contact with Sète's maritime life, between boats, quays, and everyday scenes. This end of the route offers a complete reading of the city, between height, inhabited areas and opening to the sea.
