Do you want to try something different as you explore our destination? Our themed trails are just what you’re looking for! There are not one, not two, but five trails on our website so you can take your pick from which you fancy doing and where you fancy going!

They last between 1 and 2 hours and introduce you to people who have gone down in the history of Béziers, take you along the botanical trail or on the hunt for murals in central Béziers!

Where do you find them? Just visit our website and view each trail factsheet for all the information you need. Easy! Then you just have to follow the directions to reach the different stages and visit the attractions!

3. Head to the seaside!

The sun’s out so what better excuse for a trip to the seaside to recharge your batteries in the sea air! It’s impossible to choose between Valras-Plage and Sérignan so you’ll just have to visit both these slices of paradise!

Stop in Valras to explore its lovely fishing village and port before hitting its 4km of sandy beaches! Head over to Sérignan to get to grips with everything it has to offer… Stroll around the old town, visit the Collegiate Church and enjoy the shade on the promenade and in the little lanes! Last but not least, don’t forget to visit Sérignan-Plage!
