Taxi Montpellier → Sète
Your Montpellier → Sète transfer at €65–€75. 32 km via the A9.
A taxi between Montpellier and Sète costs between €65 and €75 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 32 kilometres and a journey time of from 30 to 45 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A9, with ~€3 in tolls. A van for up to seven passengers starts at €100. That price includes luggage, tolls and the driver's approach, and it does not move if traffic builds up: that is the difference with a metered ride, where every minute of waiting is charged and the applicable rate depends on the hour. On an unbooked ride, the amount follows the scale of the prefectoral order applying where the passenger is picked up, higher from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The driver tracks the flight or train number given at booking and shifts the pick-up at no extra cost if it is delayed, and cancelling remains free up to six hours before departure.

Sète is a singular city, built on and around Mont Saint-Clair between the Mediterranean and the Thau lagoon. Nicknamed the 'Venice of Languedoc' for its bridge-crossed canals, it's France's largest Mediterranean fishing port and a stronghold of Occitan culture. Georges Brassens was born here and rests at the Py marine cemetery, facing the sea. Paul Valéry, the other great Sétois, immortalised the marine cemetery in his famous poem. The Sète water jousts, a spectacular tradition where jousters in white try to knock each other into the water from boats, have enlivened the Royal Canal every summer since the 17th century. The Thau lagoon, with its Bouzigues oyster and mussel farms, is Languedoc's largest lagoon and a paradise for shellfish lovers. Taxis from Montpellier are used by gourmets, Brassens fans and summer holidaymakers.

The Py marine cemetery (Brassens' grave) and the marine cemetery (Valéry's poem) are two moving sites. The Sète market halls (Tuesday-Sunday mornings) are a temple of Mediterranean gastronomy: tielle sétoise, zézettes, Bouzigues oysters.
