Another pretty port. We purchased a tour to see a vermouth winery. It was worth the price for the tour and tasting and the guide was excellent. Ride to & from winery was maybe 30 mins and included some stops at scenic points for photos of the port, etc. ...
My wife and I really enjoyed the night shore excursion to Montpellier. It was great to see the main square area at night with all the people and restaurants. We had dinner near the main square prior to returning to the ship. If you are looking for a unique experience, we recommend Montpellier in the evening as it gives you a chance to see a different aspect of local life in Montpellier. ...
Sete is a quiet port, with a small town and market with 2 canals.
Unless you are going on an excursion to visit other cities, you can take it easy at the port. Plenty of time for your to walk around, have a French petit dejeuner and shop a little bit. The town is about 15 min walk from the port terminal, then they have bus to bring to close to your ship. ...
We hopped on the train to Montpelier... and that town was incredibly beautiful. The shopping, the food, outdoor eating. Extremely surprised at how nice that city is. Didn't spend time in Sete, as it was just the port city. ...
