On Sunday evening, the Vélorution (for citizens' movement in favour of non-polluting travel) stopped off in Sète as part of a huge tour through the cities of France to raise awareness among citizens about the consequences of climate change and encourage them to fight against global warming.

Other local associations were invited to speak out, such as ALT (Alerte LGV Thau), which denounces "threats" and "damage" to the environment of the Thau basin caused by the planned route of the new Montpellier-Perpignan line.
