Excursion Biking in sète tour at Sete

Discover the "Little Venice" of Languedoc, Sète, on this 2.5 hour bicycle adventure. Sète is France's first fishing ports and one of the few that is still an active fishing operation (primarily shellfish) and also a destination for visitors. Learn why Sète is called "l'Ile Singulière" (singular island) as you ride past unique indicators of culture, tradition and natural beauty that make it truly one of a kind.

From your bicycle, discover this charming port community on the Mediterranean Sea, situated around home-lined canals just like its Italian counterpart. Meeting your guide on the old harbour, get a briefing on the tour, your equipment and important safety precautions. Then it is time to begin, setting off first on the oldest part of the town with the jetty , the former harbour, and the open air theatre that used to be a fortress.

Ride in the Promenade de la Corniche, a path that takes you through a large nature preserve, including a cycling path that provides beautiful views over the Mediterranean Sea.

The Corniche promenade also connects to the beach of the same name, where there is the chance to take a quick swim (weather dependent). After the beach, ride towards the Lagoon of Thau, well-known for its oyster farming (both ancient and active today).

Visit the Pont Levy Quarter before coming back by to cycling path between the beach district to the old harbour.

Reboard your coach and drive back to the pier
