Sète and its traditions

The Mediterranean sun, the diversity of its landscapes and the quality of its welcome are at the origin of this art of living, making Languedoc-Roussillon a rich and generous land that continues to attract and captivate visitors from all over the world. Whether by the sea or in the heart of the hinterland, traditions of conviviality and exchange are among the region’s assets.
Festive traditions, renowned wines, pétanque games, open-air markets, gourmet tables…
This gentle way of life is also reflected in the local crafts, the freshness of the produce, and the rich and varied artistic inspirations that can be seen both in the region’s heritage and in the many personalities who are passionate about this welcoming land.
