Museum on a balcony overlooking the Mediterranean, retracing the history of the port of Sète since its birth in the century
Located on a balcony overlooking the Mediterranean, this museum traces the history of the port of Sète since its birth in the 18th century. It also houses the collection of ship models of André Aversa, who dedicated his life to marine carpentry. Nacelles, catalanes, oxboats, barquettes, trawlers... An extraordinary work! A space is dedicated to the jousts: their heroes, their trophies, the Saint-Louis... A place not to be missed to understand the identity of the singular Island. A film on the Saint-Louis and temporary exhibitions complete the visit.

On s'attend à autre chose... Qu'était le Sète d'avant la construction du port ? Quel a été le rôle des pêcheurs pendant la première guerre mondiale ? Comment Sète est une place du Commerce méditerranéen ?
Rien du tout.
Vous êtes devant des panneaux hyper chargés de texte, avec des maquettes de bateau.
Si c'est ça la Mer...
Bon c'est gratuit, ça vaut pas plus de 2 euros la visite.
