Beziers - sky guide
for Beziers car hire
The lovely city of Beziers is located on a hill overlooking the Orb River. It is the capital of the Languedoc wine region and best known for its adopted traditions of English rugby and Spanish bullfighting. Beziers is also just southwest of Montpellier and 14kms from the Mediterranean Sea, with a scenic approach by road from Carcassonne.
As you cross the Pont-Neuf, you'll see the castle-like towers of Cathedrale St-Nazaire, one of the symbols of the city. The Gothic cathedral has been reconstructed since being demolished by crusaders at the start of the 13th century. There are magnificent views from the cathedral tower across verdant vineyards.
The medieval streets surrounding the cathedral contain the city's main museums, and are well worth exploring for their charm. Away from the cathedral area, the allées Paul-Riquet is a beautiful, wide thoroughfare offering some of the best restaurants, bars and shops in the city. Be sure to visit the 19th century theatre on place de la Victoire, along with the beautifully landscaped park of the Plateau des Poètes.
In the old quarter, rue Viennet is a good place to relax, with plenty of restaurants in the shadows of the cathedral. Alternatively, place de la Madeleine and the area north of place Jean-Jaurès have some interesting hang-outs.
There are plenty of daytrip opportunities, especially to the nearby beaches of the Mediterranean coast, notably Valgras Plage, St Pierre sur Mer and Cap d'Agde. Also within easy reach are the one-time Roman capital of Narbonne with its cathedral and museums, and the popular hillside market town of Minerve.
You can reach Beziers by road from Carcassonne on the A9; while from Toulouse, take the A61. There are direct SNCF rail routes between Beziers and several major cities including Paris and Barcelona, and there is an international airport on the outskirts of town.
