Sète
Sète is built on a strip of land between the Mediterranean and the Étang de Thau, which earned it the nickname “the singular island” and its many canals. It is the birthplace of Georges Brassens, who is buried in the seaside cemetery where Paul Valéry also lies, and Mont Saint-Clair gives a wide view over the Languedoc coast. The water jousts, a local tradition in which two teams face each other on the water, mark the Saint-Louis festivities every summer. Try the tielle sétoise, an octopus pie in spicy tomato sauce, before heading to the commercial port.
Bejaia
Bejaia appears at the back of a gulf closed off by Mount Gouraya, whose wooded slopes drop almost into the sea. Former capital of the Hammadids, the town was long a major port of the central Maghreb, and its French name, Bougie, is the origin of the word for a candle. From here you reach Kabylia, Tizi Ouzou and Sétif by mountain roads, and the Aiguades and Tichy beaches are a few kilometres from the port.
