In which French region is the city of Sète located?

Sète is a commune in the Hérault department in the region of Occitanie in southern France. Known as the Venice of Languedoc and the singular island (in Paul Valéry's words), it is a port and a seaside resort on the Mediterranean with its own very strong cultural identity, traditions, cuisine and dialect.

It occupies the lower slopes and foot of the isolated Mont Saint-Clair, which lies on a tongue of land between the Mediterranean Sea and the large marshy Thau Lagoon. A network of canals links the town with the lagoon, the docks, and the harbour basins. The port is connected (via the lagoon) by the Midi Canal with the Garonne River.

The port in Sete is set on the South coast of France and its strategic location lets it be in the middle of the sea traffic among Morocco, Tunisia and Spain. The post features modern terminals, each one dedicated to a specific traffic: containers, passenmgers, cruises. Sete is a beautiful town, whose canals remember Venice. and where the beaches alternate with the old saltworks, the port and the Saint-Clair Mont.
