The title is because I walked to the museum: the topography of Sète is as weird as hell. It's on a spit of land which closes off the Etang de Thau, but there is also a little mountain a few hundred...

Amazingly unfriendly man & 1 woman at reception. The other woman seemed nice but didn't get much of a say. We arrived at 0945 in Sète & by the time we got to the place by bus it was 11AM. The guy moaned we hadn't left enough time & should come back at 2PM but there seems to be nothing nearby. He was more interested in not having you there & getting you out for their 2 hour lunch than sharing this place with you. It's mostly just an audio tour, albeit a good one. You can likely get the videos online & fill in the rest with a biography. If it was better located with vastly better staff it would be worthwhile.

I just like everything they showed in the exhibition.

My wife is a fan of many years who was delighted to find a Museum of George's on our visit to Sete. Although I don't speak French there's a English audio guides but none of the exhibits have translations. Even so I enjoyed the whole presentation with an In Concert which was very good, my wife translated the gist of the individual songs.

Excellent. Dedicated space to talented French singer George Brassens. Friendly staff.
-
The expo is very nice, but it is purely dedicated to George Brassens, so you'd have to be a fan to really like it.
