City Hall of Beziers

Let’s start by saying that Béziers is France’s second largest conservation area, after Paris! From the Roman influences seen in the classical amphitheatre and arena, and the medieval influences in the cathedral and Allées Paul Riquet, to the triumphs of the 19th century, when the town proudly displayed the success of its wine industry in beautiful buildings with their Haussmanian facades. Place du 14-Juillet, the house where Jean Moulin (France's National Hero of WW2) was born, has a direct look upon dhe Multimedia Library, the Universitay. And on the banks of the canal du Midi, everyone pays homage to Paul Riquet, its creator. Everywhere downtown, Béziers tells you about another bit of its history, of its « lives », and its best places to go. What a town !
