Mont Saint-Clair, Limestone hill in Sète, France

Mont Saint-Clair rises 175 meters above sea level, providing views of the Mediterranean Sea and Thau Lagoon from its limestone summit.

The Notre-Dame-de-la-Salette chapel at the summit incorporates sections of nineteenth-century military fortification walls in its structure.

Visitors can reach the summit via a 225-step stairway in 25 minutes or take bus line number 5 for motorized transportation.

The adjacent Pierres Blanches forest spans 27 hectares and preserves Mediterranean plant species native to the region.
