About the home

Bright and spacious apartment with canal and port views in the pretty town of Sete. Located in a modern, well maintained building, this is the ideal location for a couple or small family.

This first floor, self contained apartment, with lift, is located near the ferry port in the pretty town of Sete.
The building is very well maintained with marble tiles in the foyer. This one bedroom apartment is comfortable and spacious with lovely views and an enclosed balcony which makes a lovely dining area.
Just a 5 minute stroll to the centre of town, this is a great apartment with everything you could need for a relaxing holiday. There is also a secure parking space available .

Located just beside the sea, this is a wonderful place to soak up the sights of Sete.
There are numerous outdoor activities available in Sete for all the family.
For children there are numerous playgrounds and parks, long sandy beaches or sheltered coves, and even a playground with bouncy castles on the beach, while the adults have a cool drink in the bar close by.
There are dinosaur parks, activity centres, ice skating, a zoo and an aquarium within a 30 minute drive.

For the adults there are nearly too many options to mention, from trying a microlight for the first time to kite surfing along the sandy beaches. If you are feeling a little less adventurous, stroll through the markets, buy a few oysters and a drink in the local bars while you soak up the sun and atmosphere.

Facilities

The Languedoc-Roussillon / Herault region

The Languedoc -Roussillon region of France is one of the most beautiful and unspoiled regions of France. In addition to the wonderful climate , Sete is blessed with a micro-climate which means it is cooler in summer thanks to the lovely sea breezes and more pleasant in winter when bright blue skies are taken for granted.

Sete is located between the Mediterranean and the inland lake called the Etang de Thau, which is renowned for the high quality oysters and mussels which are cultivated here.

There are beaches both on the Mediterranean, such as the 12km long stretch of golden sands on the way to Marseillan or else tour around the lake to the towns of Bouzigues or Meze where you can enjoy a great lunch in one of the many port restaurants before taking a dip or relaxing on the sandy beach.

Sete has a TGV station which means that it is very easy to explore the region and the beautiful towns of Carcassonne, Perpignan, Narbonne, Avignon or Nimes - all a handy day trip. The stunning city of Montpellier is
well worth a visit, especially when it is only 15 minutes by train.

The Sete area

Sete is one of the most vibrant towns on the Mediterranean thanks to the mix of Spanish and Italian influences. A working port and a pretty town centre with numerous canals, Sete has something to appeal to everyone.

Take a stroll by the port in the afternoon and watch the tuna boats come in, with a cloud of seagulls to welcome them, while the old men repair their nets and chat in the afternoon sun.

There seems to be a festival here for every month and every taste, whether it is the skiing in winter, the jousting in July, or the numerous music festivals such as La Fete de la Musique in June, the Worldwide festival with everything from electro to jazz from the 2nd to the 5th of July, or the renowned festival Jazz de Sete in the open air theatre from the 7th to the 12th of July, to name but a few.

The Fetes de la Saint-Louis is from the 19th to the 26th of August, with street entertainment, jousting in the afternoons and at night culminating in a spectacular fireworks display over the town.

For lovers of kite surfing there is even the French Kite Surfing tournament from the 17th to the 20th of September.

Market lovers will be spoilt for choice with the Wednesday market with fresh produce, olives, cheeses and the stunning flower market. There is also a Friday market, in case you forgot something on Wednesday, or ran out.
For bric-a-brac lovers, there is a flea market every Sunday morning in Place de la Republique where you can enjoy a glass of wine in the colourful wine bar Le Carafon, or slightly further there is a large bric-a-brac market
beside Marseillan, where you can spot a bargain and have lunch afterwards.

28 Dec 2011

“Does not live up to its publicity!” We wanted a short break from our parent-caring duties, and Sete fitted the bill in terms of distance from home, and for being located in an area which we knew to be attractive. The town did not let us down - we were out-of-season for the canal jousting, but there still remained the proximity of the canals, some fine cafés and restaurants,and Les Halles with Diego's Bar and some lovely little eating places. Unfortunately, the apartment has been allowed to wear badly, and left us short of the comforts it had promised. The agent, Dearbhla, was very welcoming. But she cannot by herself replace the badly soiled bedroom carpet, nor the armchairs, sofa and beds which could be replaced in the sales for a reasonable outlay. The separate toilet needs a small wash-basin for hygiene purposes. And, errrrm.......views of the ferry-port are great for sad men like me who like to record the names and ports of registration of the ferries plying between Sete and Morocco, but they don't amount to "beautiful views of the sea"!!! The kitchen is super, assuming that you have come for a break without intending to cook the Sunday roast, and the selection of books kept us occupied during those grey November days whilst we simply needed to relax. Recommended for those who don't set their targets or their budget too high. Response: Thank you for taking the time to review the apartment. The point about the carpet is correct and has been removed since your stay. Nothing can be done regarding the lack of a wash-hand basin in the toilet. To the best of my knowledge, the vast majority of french apartments have the wash-hand basin in the bathroom beside the toilet. While the furnishings are not new, they are quite comfortable, CLEAN and the vast majority of people who have stayed have found them satisfactory. The apartment has a canal view as well as overlooking a large part of the port of Sète.
