Among the cities of Occitania, Béziers stands out for its elevated historic centre above the Orb River and its connection to the Canal du Midi. The Gothic Cathedral of Saint-Nazaire crowns the old town’s rocky promontory, marking a skyline visible from the river valley. Nearby, the Canal du Midi descends through the Fonseranes Locks before crossing the Orb on the Orb Aqueduct. This UNESCO World Heritage waterway reflects the engineering ambition of 17th-century Languedoc. Béziers is also firmly rooted in the wine-growing country of the surrounding plain.
