A long-awaited new edition after this sad period of confinement…here is the biggest international maritime festival in the Mediterranean…right!
Sète is a Mediterranean city created under Louis XIV in the heart of the Gulf of Lion, a maritime and river port. A city crossed by canals, an exceptional setting, populated by seafarers who, through migration, have shaped the identity of this “singular island”.
And it is preparing once again to welcome the largest sailboats in the world for a week. 120 legendary sailboats with entertainment, conferences, exhibitions, and a whole lot of daily entertainment that will punctuate the daily life of the Sète city for 7 days.
