The Bejaia to Sète ferry covers around 23h 30m at sea with Grandi Navi Veloci, the sole operator on this crossing from Algeria's Kabylia coast to the south of France. It's a longer voyage than the route to Marseille, but it lands somewhere quieter and rather lovely: Sète sits on the edge of l'Etang de Thau, a saltwater lagoon known for its oysters and mussels, with a laid-back charm that's a world away from a big commercial port. Vehicles are welcome alongside foot passengers.
