Beziers flower market in the Allées Paul Riquet is held every Friday morning. The flower market is a real must-visit and it is practically the only time I go into Beziers except for the Feria in August (see the Beziers Feria website for more details on the events for this popular festival or read our article Beziers Feria).

If you are in Beziers for the flower market stop in one of the cafes that line the wide avenue of Allées Paul Riquet and watch the market in full swing. The old town of Beziers is very pleasant to walk around, with lots of boutiques and small alleyways.

Also make sure that you visit the indoor food market close to the Cathedral. It has recently been refurbished and although it is not as good as the indoor markets in Narbonne and Nimes, it is still worth going to capture the real town-life of Beziers.

Where to next . . .?

If you are planning a trip to the South of France in 2024, then Beziers is an excellent location. Beziers has its own airport and Ryanair runs cheap flights to Beziers from Sweden, Belgium, the UK & Ireland. Beziers also has some excellent beaches nearby and the accommodation is considerably cheaper than Cote d'Azur. The restaurant scene in Beziers is also going through a renaissance, with 3 of the best Chefs in the Languedoc running restaurants in the city. Beziers has some excellent restaurants, but you also shouldn't miss out on one of the biggest festivals in the South of France (Beziers' Feria), some fantastic local vineyards and the beautiful countryside nearby. Beziers is reputedly, the oldest town in France and the historic centre is a joy to walk around. From a tourism perspective, Beziers has plenty to see and do.
