Map Details and Information
Sete:
Sète (Seta in Occitan) is a commune in the Hérault department in Languedoc-Roussillon in southern France. Known as the Venice of Languedoc, it is a port and a sea-side resort on the Mediterranean Sea. The initial village started growing with the completion of the Canal du Midi (1681). It was called Cette until 1927.
Built upon and around Mont St Clair, Sète is situated on the south-eastern hub of the Bassin de Thau, an enclosed salt water lake used primarily for oyster and mussel fields. To its other side lies the Mediterranean.
Sète is the eastern starting point of the Canal du Midi, and the ending point of the Canal du Rhône à Sète. It is approximately 25 mins by train from Montpellier. Car ferries ply between Sète and Morocco.Sète is the eastern starting point of the Canal du Midi, and the ending point of the Canal du Rhône à Sète.

Agde:
Agde is the commune in the Hérault department in southern France that is the Mediterranean port of the Canal du Midi. Its inhabitants are called Agathois. Agde is located on the river Hérault, 4 km from the Mediterranean Sea, and 750 km from Paris. The Canal du Midi connects to the Hérault at the lock ("L'Écluse Ronde d'Agde") just above Agde and empties into the Mediterranean at Le Grau d'Agde.
Agde (Agathe Tyche, "good fortune") was a 5th century BCE Greek colony settled by Phocaeans from Massilia. The symbol of the city, the bronze Ephebe of Agde, of the 4th century BCE, recovered from the fluvial sands of the Hérault, was joined in December 2001 by two Early Imperial Roman bronzes, of a child and of Eros, which had doubtless been on their way to a villa in Gallia Narbonensis when they were lost in a shipwreck.
In 506 the Council of Agde was held at Agde.
Agde is known for the distinctive black basalt used in the local architecture, for example the cathedral of Saint Stephen, built in the 12th century to replace a ninth century Carolingian edifice built on the foundations of a 5th century Roman church. Bishop Guillaume fortified the cathedral's precincts and provided it with a 35-meter donjon. The Romanesque cloister of the cathedral was demolished in 1857.
