Palais consulaire de Sète Art Déco building

Sète was a very important trade port during the 19th century and the early 20th: wine, wood, sulfur, grain and iron... It was even the 1st barrel trade harbour in the world at the end of the 19th century. Now, it is the major French fishing port in the Mediterranean.

The palace was designed in 1928 by architect Adolphe Dervaux, as the symbol of the wealth of the city.

It did (and still does) hosts the trade chamber of Sète.
