Here you will be able to have a go at kayaking or canoeing, or you can simply stroll along the river. You will find it very pleasant and relaxing to swim on the small pebble beach located below the bridge overlooking the beautiful village. Other charming villages await you nearby, because the department of Herault, on the shores of the Mediterranean, is full of wonders and cities that deserve to be visited, such as Pézenas, Agde and Sète. The stunning city Béziers is a place well worth visiting, it contains many sites of interest: among them, the ‘Plateau des Poètes’, a garden dating from the late nineteenth century. A haven of lush verdure that connects the Paul Riquet lanes and the train station. It is a unique place to take a breather or have fun in the heart of the city and where you can enjoy the "Refuge for birds free". The Place de la Madeleine, in the heart of the old historic centre of the city, is just steps from the magnificent town hall built in 1729, a beautiful "Belle-Epoque" building which houses a market with the charm of yesteryear. The market offers delicious fresh local produce. Finish with a detour to the Place de la Révolution, behind the Cathedral of Saint Nazare, located at the top of a small hill on the banks of the river Orb, a fine example of French Gothic style. This enchanting little square then descends towards the Paul Ricard road, a lively boulevard which is the commercial heart of the city, with many restaurants, where you can taste delicious local dishes. Obviously, no holiday would be complete without discovering the Canal du Midi, a waterway listed by UNESCO, dotted with technical works such as the 9 locks of Fonseranes, aqueducts called "Pont Canal" (Canal bridge), where the river passes under the Canal, allowing barges to navigate. By bike, on foot or on board a rental boat, lots of beautiful excursions are possible along the rivers.
