Local Information

Pézenas is a traditional, lively and vibrant Languedoc town situated 12 miles north of the Mediterranean coast and almost midway between Montpellier and Béziers.

Pézenas prides itself on its past; reflected in its fascinating winding streets and period architecture. Often called the 'Versailles' of the Languedoc, summer visitors are treated to a feast of festivals, costume dramas, concerts and exhibitions. Alternatively, take your pick from the numerous pavement cafés and watch the world drift slowly by before retiring to any one of the dozens of excellent, traditional restaurants. Don't miss the famous Saturday market that spills into the streets from daybreak and lasts all day. Discover the many artisan shops in the old quarter, and the kilometre-long stretch of antique and bric-a-brac ('brocante') stores.

Sunny, sandy Mediterranean beaches lie just 12 miles south of Pézenas. Beachfront cafés, seafood restaurants and all the
glamour and glitz of summer in the south of France.

Marseillan Plage and Serignan Plage for the quieter beaches, Cap d'Agde for all the entertainments, chic shopping and activities. Here you'll find golf, huge waterpark, 'Aqualand' (for both children and adults), watersports, boat trips, further restaurants and the Marine Aquarium.

Beziers and Montpellier offer excellent shopping and hypermarkets. Beziers has possibly the best flower market (Fridays) on the Mediterranean coast.

Discover the ocean of vineyards for superb wine-tasting or discover more about the famous southern French aperatif 'pastis' at the Paul Ricard plant in Bessan. Alternatively, the Noilly Prat museum and guided tour of the factory is in Marseillan.

Superb hiking just miles from Pezenas on the Mourgettes footpath, or take a picnic to Lake Salagou for wonderful fresh-water swimming and watersports. The Gorges d'Heric in the Languedoc National Park offers astounding scenery that will make you forget you are so close to the Mediterranean coast.

Head east and don't miss the Pont du Gard on a day trip to Provence; Avignon, Arles and the pink flamingo's and white horses in the Camargue.

Head west to experience the giant and imposing fortified city of Carcassonne. Alternatively, the beautiful Cote Vermaille and its charming beaches in the shadow of the Pyrenees.

The Spanish border lies just 90 minutes from Pezenas, spend a long weekend in Barcelona (2 1/2 hours).
