If you have to rest in peace somewhere, I reckon here wouldn't be bad! Aside from the fantastic view, well-known poet Paul Valery is buried here. It was him who prompted the cemetery's name change from Saint Charles to Cimitière Marin, because he wrote a poem about it, which was entitled Cimitière Marin.
Pretty interesting place, as there are different sections for the different groups which formed Sète. The only one I can remember off the top of my head is the lower one, where there were lots of the Italians who came to live and fish in Sète.
