Sète, a seaside town
For history buffs, we suggest you start your stay with the guided tour “Sète, City of the Sea”. Meet your guide every Tuesday during the school holidays in the Town Hall Square and enjoy a two-hour journey back in time.
You’ll trace the origins of the town of Sète back to the time of the first developments of the port and the canals that make up the town.
The MaCO
There you are, strolling through the narrow streets of Sète, when your eye is suddenly caught by one, two, three pieces of street art… Who created them? On what occasion were they created? The guide will provide answers to all these questions and offer insights during the guided tour of the MaCO (Open-Air Museum).
Starting from Place Léon Blum, opposite the town hall, you’ll spend around two hours exploring the historic centre of Sète, discovering the work of Julien Seth Malland, Codex Urbanus, C215, Ratur & Sckaro, Sunset, Madame, Eric Lacan…
The little ‘extra’ of this guided tour is that it evolves every year thanks to the new works that come to adorn the MaCO. Each guide will share their favourite artworks with you.

From little Georges to the great Brassens
Follow the different stages of Georges Brassens’ life – born in Sète – at the museum dedicated to him. You can even extend the experience with a guided tour dedicated to the local boy, ‘From Little Georges to the Great Brassens’.
During this guided tour, you’ll journey through his youth and all the places where his character, friendships and love of poetry were forged.
Throughout this tour in the heart of the town, we explore Georges Brassens’ childhood, his friendships, his desire to move to Paris, and his family life as we pass by his birthplace. A two-hour journey through the life of Georges Brassens.
The little “extra” of this tour is the evocation of the artist’s songs, echoing his roots in Sète.
The Molière Theatre, National Theatre
