Location
Béziers is a hidden South of France gem that has been polished over the years and is now an even more pleasant town in which to spend some time. Whether you love strolling through picturesque little streets, having lunch or dinner at one of the many terraces or indulging your curiosity for French history: it's all here. Some of the highlights are the Old Bridge (Pont Vieux) dating from the 12th century, the Saint-Nazaire Cathedral, and the elegant, plane-tree-lined Allées Paul Riquet surrounded by majestic Haussmann buildings. Also the Nine Locks of Fonseranes merit a visit. 'Les Neuf Écluses de Fonseranes', as they are called in French, are an ingenious water staircase made up of nine locks. This architectural highlight is part of the Canal du Midi, the 240 kilometres long waterway connecting the Mediterranean Sea with Toulouse. Béziers is a lively city with plenty to enjoy: festivals, markets, theatre, and a vibrant restaurant scene are all part of daily life here. The beach and the airport are around 20 minutes away, and the train station with direct TGV connections to Paris and Barcelona is within walking distance.
