The department of Herault, on the shores of the Mediterranean, is home to many charming villages and towns such as Pézenas, Agde and Sète. The stunning town Béziers is well worth a visit. It contains many sites of interest including the Plateau des Poètes, a garden dating from the late nineteenth century. This park is a wonderful place to take a breather in the heart of the city, you can enjoy the lush greenery and abundance of wildlife that live there. The Place de la Madeleine is situated in the heart of the historic centre of Béziers, just steps from the magnificent town hall, built in 1729, a beautiful "Belle-Epoque" style building which houses a market. The market offers delicious, fresh, local produce. Finish with a detour to the Place de la Révolution, a square located on the banks of the River Orb behind the Cathedral of Saint Nazare, a fine example of French Gothic style architecture. It descends towards a lively boulevard with many restaurants where you can taste delicious, local dishes. No holiday would be complete without a visit to the Canal du Midi, a waterway dotted with technical works such as the nine locks of Fonseranes and aqueducts. By bike, on foot or on board a rental boat, lots of beautiful excursions are available along the rivers. Beach 35km. Shop and restaurant 5km.
