Béziers, Historic commune in Occitanie, France.

Béziers stands on a hilltop above the Orb River, with the Saint-Nazaire Cathedral dominating the skyline of the medieval quarter.

The Roman colony of Betarrae transformed into a strategic stronghold during medieval times, leading to the construction of substantial fortifications in 1289.

The Feria de Béziers in August attracts over one million visitors for five days of celebrations centered around traditional bullfighting events.

The covered market Les Halles, housed in an 1891 cast-iron building, operates from Tuesday to Sunday with local vendors selling fresh produce.

The Canal du Midi crosses the Orb River through the Fonserannes Locks, a sequence of water chambers allowing boats to navigate different elevations.
