Mention Mediterranean France and everyone thinks of the Cote d’Azur and Provence. Beautiful areas to visit but why not venture further west and sample the delights of quaint fishing villages, lively cities and at affordable prices.
As part of my portfolio of houses across various regions of France the one area that I have always felt that I am on holiday in, even though I am working, is Sete and the surrounding coastal towns and small villages.
I have visited Sete many times plus the coastal town of Marseillan where I have had the best moules frites ever to the pretty town of Meze north of Sete and famous for wonderful oysters from the Bassin de Thau – again the best oysters I have ever eaten!!
However, Sete is special and my favourite!! Once a small fishing village on the island of Mont St Clair it’s become the definitive Languedoc fishing port for France on the Mediterranean. This warm and colourful town is known as the Venice of Languedoc with its canals and small bridges. The charm of Sète is in the canals, the sea, the streets and the restaurants. You can walk and discover fishing boats, busy with their catch, or find a restaurant to eat and watch the fishing boats go out to sea. Walk down the Saint Louis Pier and look for yachts vie for space. Here you will see some of the fastest sailboats in the world, as it is here that the French train for the America's Cup. For families there are 12 kms of sandy beaches that stretch from Sete to Cap d’Agde. There is so much to do in and around Sete from sailing trips, water sports, micro light flights, tennis, golf, horse riding, museums, theatres and a casino if you fancy a try at the tables!!
Of course you must have a comfortable and stylish villa to stay in for your holiday and Quality Villas http://www.qualityvillas.com/ is proud to have a superb Art Deco style villa facing the sea as part of its portfolio. Villa Mont St Clair is situated in Setes La Corniche’s district yet a 10 minute stroll brings you to the fishing town of Sete. Villa Mont St Clair is directly facing the sea and this well appointed house stands out amongst the others around it with a particularly unusual green tiled tower which houses part of the principal bathroom. The property has been lovingly restored with marble floors, Italian style ceiling, and grand staircase with Art Deco cast iron and cherry wood finish and stained glass windows. The doors on the first floor have been restored to their former glory depicting the Art Deco style of the period. The furnishing and fittings are all of a particularly high standard yet oozes comfort in this spacious house. This popular villa is classy, spacious and comfortable.
This popular villa still has availability so hurry and book this little piece of luxury at affordable prices. I personally recommend it !!!
