4 Private Shore Excursion Ideas from Sète & Montpellier
4 Private Shore Excursion Ideas from Sète & Montpellier
If your cruise ship stops at the port of Sète (often listed as “Sète/Montpellier”), you’re in for a treat! This region of Southern France is bursting with history, flavors, and breathtaking landscapes. Instead of joining the crowded, standardized excursions offered by cruise lines, why not enjoy a private and customizable tour at your own pace?
Our guides will pick you up directly at the port, and from there, you can choose from unforgettable experiences tailored to your interests. Here are 4 ideas to inspire your next shore excursion:
1) Camargue & Aigues-Mortes
Discover the wild beauty of the Camargue: pink flamingos, salt marshes, and endless horizons. Stroll through the medieval walled city of Aigues-Mortes, famous for its impressive ramparts and its sweet “fougasse.” This excursion combines nature, history, and gastronomy in one magical day.
2) Montpellier & Château Vineyards
Explore Montpellier’s medieval quarter with its narrow streets, hidden courtyards, and sunny squares. After soaking up the vibrant atmosphere, head to the countryside to visit a local wine château. Learn about the Languedoc’s winemaking traditions and enjoy a private tasting surrounded by vineyards.
3) Sète Highlights: Market, Mont Saint-Clair & the Beach
Nicknamed the “Venice of Languedoc,” Sète is a lively port city full of charm. Wander along the canals, enjoy a tasting at the covered market (don’t miss the famous “tielle” seafood pie), and head up Mont Saint-Clair for a breathtaking panoramic view over the sea and lagoon. End your tour with a relaxing stop at the beach — the Mediterranean at its best!
4) Wine & Oysters on the Thau Lagoon
For a truly local experience, pair the region’s two iconic treasures: wine and oysters. Visit a traditional vineyard and taste some of the best Languedoc wines before heading to the Thau Lagoon, home to France’s finest oysters. Enjoy them fresh, right by the water — an unforgettable gourmet moment.
