Visit Béziers - The first thing you see of Béziers as you arrive
is the Cathedral of Saint Nazaire located in the higher areas of the city,
in one of the most picturesque districts. On the Plateau des Poètes, the
English garden is dotted with many statues of poets. It is also where the
monumental Statue Cascade of Titan can be found. Béziers is the town of
Pierre-Paul Riquet, to whom it owes the
Canal du
Midi, with its canal bridge and the 9 locks of Fonserannes. The
Ferias of Béziers take place every year in August. For two weeks, the
city lives for its bullfights, bull runs and bodegas.
