A remarkable historical heritage
Béziers has a rich historical past, visible in its many monuments. The Cathedral of Saint-Nazaire, dominating the town from its hilltop, is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in the Languedoc region. When you visit the cathedral, you'll be amazed by its stained glass windows, sculptures and panoramic views over the town and the Orb valley. Nearby, the Pont Vieux, dating from the 13th century, crosses the River Orb and offers another picturesque view of the town.
The Plateau des Poètes, a romantic 19th-century park, is another not-to-be-missed site for a walk through the greenery, with its statues, ponds and peaceful atmosphere. By staying in a Clévacances gîte in Béziers, you'll be close to these iconic monuments, while enjoying comfortable, welcoming accommodation.
The Canal du Midi, a jewel of engineering
The Canal du Midi, the major work of engineer Pierre-Paul Riquet, is one of the jewels in Béziers' crown. This canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, links the Garonne to the Mediterranean and crosses the city, offering an exceptional setting for boat trips, cycle rides or walks. The famous Fonseranes locks, with their 9 staircase locks, are one of the canal's main attractions and offer an impressive spectacle of passing boats.
A walk along the canal allows you to discover the rich history of the Languedoc while enjoying a bucolic setting. By opting for a Clévacances holiday rental near the Canal du Midi, you can enjoy the unique experience of navigating this emblematic waterway, or simply relax and admire the surrounding landscapes.
The Férias de Béziers: an unmissable event
Béziers is also famous for its Férias, a festive event that attracts thousands of visitors every year. For five days, the town vibrates to the rhythm of bullfights, street shows and entertainment. It's a great opportunity to discover the culture of Béziers, steeped in bullfighting and Mediterranean traditions.
The Campo de Feria, in the heart of the city, is where festival-goers gather to enjoy concerts, balls and open-air shows. The Béziers bullring, dating back to 1897, is another iconic venue where bullfights and other events take place during the Feria.
If you are visiting Béziers during this festive period, choosing a Clévacances bed and breakfast will allow you to experience this event in a warm and friendly atmosphere, while enjoying the personalised welcome of your hosts.
