Saturday 16 July
9.00am - 6.30pm : Pezenas - Canal du Midi - Béziers
Pezenas, nicknamed the little Venice of Languedoc, does not bear this title for nothing. Indeed, it was for many years the capital of Languedoc and the resting place of several French kings, queens and aristocrats, who built many private mansions there. The city inspired Molière, the famous French theatre writer of the 17th century, for more than 10 years.
After a tour of the town, we will take a break at the famous black sand beach of Cap d'Agde where its volcano exploded several hundred thousand years ago, creating black sand beaches unique in France. The panorama on the sea is simply splendid.
We will discover the famous locks of Fonserannes of the Canal du Midi, the oldest canal in Europe, built 350 years ago, 250 kms long, it is of course registered in the Unesco heritage.
Finally, the day will end with a visit to Béziers, the region's wine capital, and its magnificent Gothic cathedral of St Nazaire, with its grandiose panorama over the Béziers region.
