Sète
Sète is a port in Languedoc, built between the Mediterranean and the Étang de Thau, about thirty kilometres from Montpellier. It is one of the French ports from which ferries leave for Morocco: the passenger terminal is inside the port area, reached from the A9 motorway. Arrive at the terminal at the time shown on your ticket: police and customs checks come before boarding.
Tangier Med
Arriving at Tangier Med, the ferry docks in a port built on the edge of the Strait, facing the Spanish coast. Police control, customs and vehicle formalities are done on the spot, and the road then leads to the motorway for Tangier (about forty-five minutes), Tetouan or Rabat.
