Sète offers a magnificent panoramic view from the top of Mont Saint Clair over the city, the sea, the mountains and the oyster and mussel cultures of the Thau Lagoon. According to the legend, this summit pays tribute to one of the three Saint Clair brothers who went on a journey to win the heart of a young and beautiful girl. Unfortunately, she died before she could make her choice of marriage, so the three desperate brothers settled on three peaks in the area and lived as hermits. Later, this mountain was named St Clair.
The town lived thanks to the importance of its viticulture, which gained enormous prestige in the 19th century. Thus, the fishing port was able to develop and many Italians settled in the city. It is also the city of many artists like the famous singer Georges Brassens, the actor and director Jean Vilar or the poet Paul Valéry.
