The history of the district

La Corniche runs its promenade along the foot of the southern flank of Mont Saint-Clair, between the town and the sea. Laid out along the shore, it links the centre of Sète to the beaches of La Nau and La Vigie and offers an open view over the Mediterranean. The hill above it, 175 metres high, carries the Pierres Blanches forest and the Notre-Dame-de-la-Salette chapel, from which the whole peninsula and the Étang de Thau can be taken in.

The district developed as a sought-after residential area, on the slopes facing the sea. The villas and developments there enjoy the view, the quiet and the closeness of the beaches and the paths of the hill. It is one of the most prized places in the town, where the scarcity of sea-view property sets the prices.

Sought after for its setting and its view, La Corniche concentrates steady demand for the apartments and houses on the flank of the hill. Supply, scarcer and of higher quality than elsewhere in Sète, supports prices among the highest in the municipality.

Who buys in La Corniche

La Corniche attracts second-home buyers, retired people, families and investors won over by the sea view and the setting of Mont Saint-Clair. Demand covers the apartments and houses with a view, on the slopes and along the promenade. The scarcity of property and the closeness of the beaches make it the most prized area of Sète.
