Tourist Attractions & Monuments Beziers

It is a major book of the Canal du Midi, with eight basins and nine doors allowing to cross a height of 21,50 metres over a length of more than 300 metres. True water staircase, technical prowess for the time, locks are a permanent attraction, still active despite the construction of an innovative book, the water slope, next but often broken.

In the image of the poets'plateau, rich in the sculptures of Injalbert, some green spaces in Béziers offer charming walks. Thus, the garden of Villa Antonine, Place Injalbert, summer residence of the sculptor, has several statues of his former owner.

The same is true of the old cemetery, where the large families of the last century decorate their last century. A charming stroll under the cypress trees in the midst of works by Magrou, Louis-Paul Villeneuve, Injalbert… Completely different ambiance in the garden of Plantade. Located on the river Orb, it contains the mill of Bagnols. A beautiful original building, it was developed by the biterrois engineer Jean-Marie Cordier in the th century to allow the river water to climb to the city. Finally, the Jardin des Bishops - see "Saint Nazaire Cathedral" - offers a superb view of the Orb valley.
