Best Things to Do in Beziers, France, Beziers, France

Béziers is a gorgeous city in the south of France, in the Occitanie region, and I was fortunate enough to spend a week house-sitting there and looking after two lovely cats. 

To give you some context, the nearby city of Marseille, the oldest city in France, was settled only a little earlier, around 600 BC and Agde, another neighbouring town, was founded in 525 BCE. 

It’s the perfect city for a short break, easy to get to by plane and train and has far fewer tourists than other major French cities, and there are plenty of activities and attractions for visitors to enjoy. 

I could spend hours just wandering the streets of Beziers, and I did. Jam-packed with charming narrow streets, medieval buildings, picturesque squares, stunning frescos, cute cafes and restaurants, it was a delight to explore. 

The Tourist Information Centre on the Place du Forum is a wealth of information. The staff are accommodating, speak excellent English, and have many maps. I so love paper maps.  ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
