Mont Saint-Clair
A small hill in Sète offering panoramic views of the Thau lagoon, the Mediterranean and the whole city, with a seaside cemetery on its slopes.
Mont Saint-Clair stands about 175 meters high. From the Saint-Clair viewpoint at the summit you can see the oyster racks on the Thau lagoon, the Mediterranean sandbars and the Port of Sète, and on clear days the Pyrenees in the distance. The seaside cemetery on the hillside is famous through the poet Paul Valéry's poem 'Le Cimetière marin', and both Valéry and the singer Georges Brassens are buried in Sète. You can take a city minibus up the hill.
