Connected by the Canal du Midi to Carssonne in the west, Béziers is the start or end of the journey you take on the Alouette.

Béziers in Languedoc Roussillon, South of France, is known for two main things in particular, wine and bullfighting. Indeed the perfect time to visit the city is during the four day long feria in mid August when you can combine the twin passions of the town.

Béziers sits atop a wonderful rocky spur which overlooks the plain of the Hérault department, and bordered on three sides by the Orb river and the Canal du Midi. Less frequently visited then some of the other towns in this region; an amble around the small roads and discreet cafes offers a real taste of Southern France.
