Where to go

AGDE - an old Greek fishing port. Now, it is 3 kilometres from the sea on the Hérault river. The buildings in the old village are constructed of black basalt, from the volcanic rock in the area. There is similar rock in many houses around here.
CAP D'AGDE is a vintage late 60's tourist area. The beaches are good. But In summer, be prepared for traffic - a normal fifteen minute trip can take a lot longer.
SETE - an age-old Mediterranean fishing port and well worth the visit. If you drive to Sète from Marseillan Plage, on your right is the Mediterranean sea, and on the left the Etang de Thau, the area’s principal shell fishing farm. A “must visit” place is Mont St. Clair, the “mountain” overlooking Sète. There is a lovely chapel, and a lookout which provides views into Spain on a clear day.
BOUZIGUES - a main oyster fishing centre of France. The restaurants associated with the oyster beds serve wonderful lunches on their terraces, where you can relax in the sun while you watch the work of the shellfish farms.
MEZE - is a coastal village on the Etang de Thau, and one of the shellfish centres. If you like oysters and mussels, go here.
PEZENAS - At the famous Saturday open market in this historic town you will hear French, English, Swedish, Dutch, German, and Spanish. The town is the home of Molière, although he lived there for only seven years. Plenty of shops, restaurants and beautiful old buildings. An interesting place to take a stroll.

BEZIERS - in the centre is the Allée Paul Riquet, a grand plaza with open air cafes. On the top of the hill in the old village, overlooking the city and the surrounding countryside, is the Cathedrale St.Nazaire. During the Cathar Crusades, Béziers was the first site laid siege to. When the invading armies gained entry to the city, the residents took refuge in the cathedral itself, to no avail. About 25,000 were slaughtered in the city, thousands of them in the cathedral itself, even though in all of Béziers at that time there were perhaps only 500 people of Cathar faith, at most.
