Pézenas, Medieval town center in Hérault, France

Pézenas displays stone mansions, narrow cobblestone streets, and numerous stone faces carved into building facades throughout the old district.

During the 17th century, Pézenas served as the meeting place for the Languedoc States, making it a center of regional political decisions.

The Theater of Pézenas, transformed from a church in 1803, continues to present performances and maintains a connection to playwright Molière's legacy.

The Saturday market fills the streets with local products, while artisan workshops remain open throughout the week in the historical center.

The wooden Poulain, a large horse figure, parades through town during festivals, commemorating a 1226 visit by King Louis VIII.
