Sète stretches between the Mediterranean Sea and the Étang de Thau in Occitanie, a position that has made it both a working port and a town of canals. The Canal Royal runs through the centre, while Mont Saint-Clair rises above the harbour and lagoon. Fishing and shellfish farming remain central to local life; oysters and mussels from the Thau lagoon feature widely on local menus. Each summer, the Fête de la Saint-Louis brings traditional water-jousting contests to the canal, a practice closely associated with Sète.
