egonwegh Says: Be on the look out for quaint sights in the old town of Beziers. We found this statue of a Saint on the corner of Rue Canterelles. Maybe it's the popular St. Denis, the first bishop of Paris, who is often portrayed carrying his head in his hands.
Eglise de la Madeleine – Church St Mary Magdalene.
Jerelis Says: When we arrived we learned that de precise date of founding of the church Eglise de la Madeleine (Church of St Mary Magdalene) is not exactly known. But its origins trace back to marks in the 11th and 12th century. This was the period when the Cathars first appeared in...

La Gargote des Halles: Feel the vibe!
Jerelis Says: Les Halles is housed in an important Balthard style building (it is a copy of Pavillon Balthard in Paris) and we enjoyed the look of it when we stopped in front of the building to admire it. We learned that political and financial difficulties meant that the project was...
Bar de la Comedie: Staff and service was impeccable.
Jerelis Says: Everything in Béziers is within walking distance, but bear in mind that most of the city is built on a slope. So after a period of hiking we definitely could use a refreshment. We ended up right at the city center at the beautiful Allée Paul Riquet. Right there we had a look...
Jerelis Says: Are you nervous about taking your baby or child on a plane trip? You aren't alone, most parents are nervous about it. We have moved with Iris and Sam Tarragona Corfu by plane this holiday and drove some distances by car on the island itself and we learned a few things that...
Les Halles: Real life in the south of France.
Jerelis Says: There were over 70 traders and artisans with permanent stalls at Les Halles – including at least one stall which has been occupied by generations of the same family since the market was opened in 1901! Dedicated to providing the city with the best quality produce, the stall...
Jerelis Says: Now, over a hundred years later, Les Halles is an institution. We can honestly say that no visit to Béziers could be complete without experiencing its charm. Throughout the year there are various food related festivals and tastings held here with important locally sourced...
Les Halles: Important Balthard style building.
Jerelis Says: Trade has been one of the most important sectors in Béziers since the city was founded. In recent years, retailers have been an engine of growth for the city, especially the local offer. Along the streets facing the Allée Paul Riquet (The street of Béziers) most of the...
Jerelis Says: I guess we all agree on this on; there is nothing more exciting than going travelling - exploring another country, experiencing a different culture, travelling around in new ways, sampling the local cuisine and chatting to the local people for a different perspective on...
Voltage, frequency and plug ins.
Jerelis Says: Maybe it sounds a bit weird, but as an experience traveler I know that you every now and then need this kind of information in advance: electricity in France is 230 Volts, alternating at 50 cycles per second. If you travel to France with a device that does not accept 230...
Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, the catchy title of the 1992 bestseller by John Gray, succinctly expresses an ancient dilemma. What--if anything--do men's and women's brains do differently?
The general statement that men and women respond and behave differently under the same circumstances is true; For example, from the crib, male babies tend to be more aggressive and females more passive. As adults, in spatial operations, men have the edge in such skills as negotiating a maze, reading a map, and quickly discriminating between right and left. Men also perform better than women when asked to visualize an object and imagine rotating it. On the other hand, women tend to perform better than men when asked to look at objects of different shapes, sizes, and colors, and then to group them in some order.
This still doesn't explian why a woman turns the map all around when a man is asking for the road to travel, while I like the map at one point so I can better visualize our position. Help!

Allée Paul Riquet – The engineering genius.
Jerelis Says: Laid out in 1827 following the line of the ramparts, the Allées Paul Riquet is the city’s main artery. It marks the limit between the old and new neighbourhoods of the city. For us also a nice place to have a refreshment. We did this at the Café "La Comedie" (26 Allée Paul...
Allée Paul Riquet – Le Théâtre.
Jerelis Says: Béziers became a Roman colony in 36 BC and formed an important staging post on the Domitian Way, the chariot road which traversed the whole of Languedoc on its way from Rome to Cadiz in southern Spain, developing into an important trade route. The wealth of this particular...
Allée Paul Riquet – Time here is rarely wasted.
Jerelis Says: For a longer period of time we stayed in Narbonne, which is close to Béziers. Exploring the surroundings of Narbonne brought us to Béziers, because it is perfectly situated for excursions into the Haut Languedoc, a rugged and untamed mountainous region of picturesque stone...

Massif de la Clape - Oeil Doux.
Jerelis Says: Talking about a hidden gem. We did not hear of this amazing spot before we visited it. The Oeil Doux is a natural waterhole surrounded by cliffs with an abrupt eastern face overhanging the surface 40 metres below. The cliff is made of hard fissured limestone whose crevices...
Massif de la Clape - Some amazing vineyards!
Jerelis Says: The subregional zone of Massif de la Clape forma an oase of vineyards which lie at the westernmost end of the Coteaux du Languedoc appellation. Most of the vineyards are located around a rocky promontory east of Narbonne, the Massif de la Clape, which was an island until the...
Hiking – More than 2000 years of history.
Jerelis Says: Béziers is a city with more than 2,000 years of history. The ancient city of Colonia Julia Baeterrae Septimanorum was founded in 36/35 BC and its golden age began in the years later. The compact town of Béziers is easy to get around, and the ideal place to explore on foot....
Jerelis Says: Most people try to rush Béziers on a budget so they end up missing some of the highlights in a whirlwind. The key to seeing Béziers properly is a game plan, you must know what you want to see before setting out. Before we visited Béziers we saw on a city map that the small...
Hiking – Take time to meander.
Jerelis Says: Take time to meander - losing yourself in the maze of alleys, streets and lanes is one of Béziers old town's principal pleasures. The streets wind and wander with no discernible order or object. After our strawl we rewarded ourselves with a cool glass of beer or wine for our...

Our hotel was in the outskirts of the city, so we only went downtown for lunch. The heat was almost unbearable and it was very hard to find a restaurant with a non-stop service. Only for a night, so...
