It was the city that inspired Molière, the famous 17th-century French playwright, for more than 10 years. After a tour of the town, we'll take a break at the famous black sandy beach of Cap d'Agde, where the volcano exploded several hundred thousand years ago, creating black sandy beaches that are unique in France. The panorama of the sea is quite simply splendid. We'll discover the famous Fonserannes locks on the Canal du Midi, the oldest canal in Europe, built 350 years ago, 250 km long and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 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.
