Théâtre de la Mer, Open-air theatre in Mediterranean port city Sète, France.
The Théâtre de la Mer occupies a former fort structure with multiple stone terraces facing directly toward the Mediterranean Sea.
Initially constructed as Fort Saint Pierre in 1746, the defense structure protected the port of Sète against potential English naval attacks.
The venue presents music concerts and theatrical performances throughout summer, with a program that includes both classical and contemporary artists.
The theatre contains 1,485 fixed seats with additional space to accommodate up to 2,000 spectators during performances at Promenade Maréchal Leclerc.
Local residents regularly anchor their boats near the theatre to experience performances while floating on the Mediterranean waters.
