The Tangier Med to Sète ferry is a proper multi-day voyage, taking around 39h 30m with Grandi Navi Veloci, which runs around 4 sailings a week. A cabin makes real sense given the length. Vehicles and pets both travel, though pets may need to stay in the vehicle for the crossing. Once you land, Sète's canals thread right through the town centre, earning it the local nickname the Venice of Languedoc, and every summer they host joutes nautiques, a traditional water-jousting sport contested right there on the water.
