Sète is a seaport in the southern region of Occitanie. It’s known as ‘the little Venice of Languedoc’ due to its position between the Mediterranean and the beautiful Etang de Thau (Thau Lagoon) and because of its extensive canal network. Sète is for stunning views and seafaring history; and Sète is for seafood.
Step over the border from Provence, and find Nîmes. It’s often referred to as ‘the ‘French Rome’. It’s the third largest of Occitanie’s cities. Visit for a day, from Avignon or Arles, to see the major sites. But stay longer if you can. Nîmes is a brilliant place to look and learn. There’s plenty to do and enjoy. You’ll also find answers to the age-old question: What did the Romans ever do for us?
Toulouse is often called ‘The Aerospace Capital of Europe’. It’s home to giant aeronautical companies but there’s a lot more to see and do in the city.
If you visit Nîmes (and why wouldn’t you?) you can’t miss seeing the Maison Carrée (The Square House). It made the news on 18 September 2023, when it was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
