Tours in Beziers

Located in southern France, Beziers is one of the oldest cities in Europe and one of the 11 members of the Most Ancient European Towns Network. This town of 73,000 people hosts a five-day event in August that attracts millions of visitors: the famous "Feria de Beziers," or "Féria," days of bullfighting.

Beziers has two arenas for this reason and more: One dates back to the Roman era, and the other was built by Fernand Castelbon de Beauxhostes in 1905 in the style of Spanish bullrings.

Beauty enthusiasts will be fascinated by the Fine Arts Museum (Musee des Beaux-Arts), which has a collection of works by Jean Moulin, Hans Holbein, Sebastien Bourdon, Gericault, Vincent van Gogh, Chaim Soutine, and Henri Goetz. The picturesque Plateau des Poetes, built in 1867, has everything one could wish for in a pretty park. The English-style park was designed by the Bulher brothers and features statues of poets and the monumental Titan fountain by Injalbert.

The Saint-Nazaire Cathedral overlooks the city, and the Orb Aqueduct (also called the Pont-canal de l'Orb or the Pont-canal de Beziers) carries the Canal du Midi over the Orb River.
