ACTIVITIES DURING YOUR STAY
Guided tour of Sète
For this tour, a local guide, a ‘facilitator’ as she likes to say, will accompany the group. This guide offers both natural and cultural explorations. She will help you discover the Thau Basin and its links with mankind in a unique way. Thanks to her Masters in Environmental Management, she can tackle environmental issues while telling you all about the history of the area.
Guided tour in Montpellier
The guided tour, run by the tourist office, will enable you to discover Montpellier and its city centre and learn more about its history. Depending on your preferences and the schedule of visits, we can offer you: a visit to Montpellier's essentials, its gardens, discovering its history through medicine, going in search of otters or discovering its street artists.
Cooking workshop
Take part in a fun and friendly cookery workshop and discover the traditional recipes of Sète and Mediterranean cuisine. You'll prepare a dish and a dessert over a glass of wine, which you can take home to enjoy that evening.
Museum
What makes this museum special is that it opens its doors to artists of all generations, practices and backgrounds.
Popular or marginal, the works on display push back the boundaries of contemporary art. In the space of 24 years, the museum has become a household name, and has built up a number of international partnerships, notably with the MoMa in New York.
Accommodation
You will stay in a modern hostel that encourages interaction between travelers and residents, particularly thanks to common areas open to all.
At this hostel, you'll stay in a private double room. Family rooms and comfortable dormitories are also available.
Further Informations
The local currency La Graine, what is it?
La Graine is a local currency in Hérault, complementary to the euro, designed to boost the local economy and give meaning to our exchanges. Unlike traditional currencies, it cannot be stored in a bank account or used for speculative purposes. Each euro exchanged for Graine is deposited in an ethical bank and used to finance projects of high ecological, social, or cultural value in the region.
By using the Seed, citizens redirect their purchasing power toward local businesses, local producers, and committed artisans. It's a concrete way to support a more humane, resilient, and inclusive economy, while having direct visibility into the flow of their money and its impact.
