 Cities full of art and history, festivities and traditions
The region is full of traces of the past and you can’t move without finding here a dolmen, there a clachan - those dry stone huts where shepherds sheltered - an oppidum in Enserune created by the Romans, the abbeys of Cassan and Fontcaude built by the monks.
Agde, a port built by the Greeks, the “black pearl of the Mediterranean”, contains more than 2,500 years of history within its ramparts.
 Pezenas, the former capital of the Languedoc, Moliere’s favourite place to stay and put on his renowned plays, has inherited well-preserved private mansions from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. Like the town of Minerve, the cathedral of Saint-Nazaire and the church of the Madeleine in Beziers bear the mark of the Cathar tragedy.
The region, all the same, does not live in the past. Many places host contemporary artists, such as the Museum of modern art in Serignan, or theatre shows and today’s music at Sortie Ouest or at Zinga Zanga. During the summer, festival takes over with the Feria of Beziers.
