Objects valued in Sète and sold in Paris

Selling a sculpture or painting at the Hôtel Drouot in Paris offers many advantages, even if you live in Sète or the surrounding communes. A Mediterranean port founded by Louis XIV, Sète's charms include its canals, lively quays and Mont Saint-Clair, which offers an exceptional panorama of the sea and the Etang de Thau.

A city of art and culture, Sète is also the birthplace of Paul Valéry and Georges Brassens, whose legacy continues to nourish its influence today. Its museums, galleries and festivals make it a lively artistic center, at the crossroads of maritime and contemporary traditions.

Located close to Montpellier and Béziers, Sète benefits from a privileged geographical position and good road and rail infrastructures that facilitate the transport of works to Paris. Despite the geographical distance, collaboration with various transporters and our on-site teams guarantees reasonable selling costs.

You benefit from Drouot's renown to showcase your work and attract collectors from all over the world, while minimizing logistical costs. This prestigious platform for the exchange and circulation of the European art market offers incomparable visibility for your objects, opening the doors to new opportunities for your goods, wherever you live.

The art market in Sète                

The art market is far from non-existent in Sète, where you'll find many galleries, but the potential of your works sometimes doesn't reach what it deserves. Presenting them for sale at Drouot through our expert appraisals can be a real plus for their valuation.

Our auctioneers and experts come to the Hérault region, in Montpellier, Sète and Béziers, to appraise your works and advise you. If you need an auctioneer to carry out an inventory, Auctie's can also help you in the best possible way, by appointment.
