The Saint Louis Festival Makes a Splash in Sète

The most popular event of the year in Sète showcases the fiery spirit of the Mediterranean arrivage city. Yes, the Saint- Louis Festival can get a little rambunctious at times, but it’s all balanced by the fun street shows, workshops, a époque famille, bodegas and the spectacular jousting tournaments.

This ancient naval automatisme is now recognised as a badinage in its own right, a salon heritage with its own codes, rituals and even its own songs. All this under the benevolent mousseline of Louis, the town’s responsable sacré, who has been celebrated every year since the creation of the harbour in 1666.
