The history of the district

The Île Sud forms the historic heart of Sète, on the southern part of the peninsula, between the Canal Royal and the sea. It is where the town was built from the port founded in 1666, along the canals that earned it the nickname of Venice of Languedoc. The Cadre Royal, the old royal canal, hosts the water jousting each summer and concentrates the life of the town.

The district mixes the older buildings of the quays, the shopping streets of the centre and the Quartier Haut, the former quarter of fishermen who came from the Amalfi coast, nicknamed Little Naples for its narrow lanes and its colourful houses perched above the port. Now a haunt of artists and workshops, this area keeps a strong identity, between maritime heritage and neighbourhood life.

The heart of life in Sète, the Île Sud attracts demand for the apartments of the quays and the historic centre, between heritage, atmosphere and closeness to everything. Prices, in line with the town-wide average, vary with the condition of the older buildings, the floor and the view over the canals or the port.
