Experience
the famous Canal du Midi, located about 800 meters from our
shop. The canal was classed as a
UNESCO World
Heritage Site in 1996. The most stunning features of this 240
Km long canal are within minutes riding of Béziers: the famous
Nine Locks of Fonseranes (Les Neuf Ecluses de Fonseranes), the beautiful
aquaduct which allows the canal to cross the river Orb, and the awe
inspiring Tunnel de Malpas, which allows the canal to pass thru a
mountain. Tunnel de Malpas is a meeting point of many converging
axis of travel. The railroad passes underneath the canal at this
point, while the old roman road, the Voie Domitienne, passes over the canal at
exactly the same point.
Right above the Tunnel de Malpas you can find one of the most important Gaulish villages in the South of France: L'Oppidum d'Ensérune. This settlement was occupied without interruption between the 6th Century BC and 1st Century AD. The last settlers of this hilltop were the Romans. As mentioned earlier, the Voie Domitienne passes below this hilltop, on its way from Italy to Spain. On the downhill side of Malpas, is another curiosity, a labyrinth made out of hemp plants. This is the Labyrinthe Vegetal Carbelina. This labyrinth is open from 10AM to 8PM everyday from July 5th to September 4th. It covers 2 hectares, and you can discover among other things, the "history of the elixer of dreams," as printed on their flyer.
Close to the Nine Locks of Fonseranes is a not well known curiosity of Béziers; a display of animated puppets. This display is called the Creche Animee de Fonseranes. The display was started in 1937 and has been build by two Christian monks. The display is only open Wednesday and Saturday afternoons from 14H30 to 16H30.
Another exciting option is to rent a bike, drive down to the train station (400 meters from our shop), hop on a train heading to Agde (25 Km), Sète (50 Km), Carcassonne (100 Km), or anywhere, and cycle back to Béziers. The great thing about the trains here in France is that they accept bicycles for free. Bicycles usually go onto the last wagon of the train. It is recommended to check availability before hand if the train you are interested in will take bicycles, since not 100 percent of trains can take bicycles. One can check online or simply ask inside the train station. See our page Train and Bus for links.
