Exploring the hidden jewel of Southern France - Béziers If until now I shared my travel experiences in top destinations such as Mallorca, Moscow, Barcelona or Paris, today's post will be about a beautiful destination by the seaside, which you will never find on the front page of Travel magazines, but can easily rival with the hot spots.

Beziers is a hidden jewel on the Mediterranean coast. The town is one of the oldest cities in France, dating from 575 BC. It has Celtic, Roman and Spanish influences, being famous for wine and food. Béziers is in the middle of France’s oldest and largest wine region, the perfect opportunity to  fill a holiday with wine experiences. The airport is really small, with only few flights per day. The airport is linked to the town by bus, every hour.

This was a "sit on the sunbed, eat and drink" holiday, so I didn't want to visit too many things, let's say it was a gastronomical holiday, to make it sound posh.

The seaside is minutes away, with two of the best beaches in the entire region, Portiragnes and Sérignan, side by side. Both beaches have plenty of facilities including car parks within a few metres of the sand. Around the seafront was clean, with lengthy and broad strips of fine sand, and with blue, crystal clear water. Many coffee shops and restaurants on the promenade, where tourists can enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner, however, you will never have to walk too far to escape the crowds, and get some privacy while you watch the waves crushing on the shore.

Wine experience is a must have. There are four Vin de Pays areas in the vicinity: Pays des coteaux du Libron, Pays d’Oc, Côtes de Thongue and Terrasses de Béziers. You can book a day on the winery, with tasty snacks and wine tasting, which will end up at the cellars, where you can buy whatever you liked during the tasting. You can also try local bars at the bars and restaurants. The food was divine, fine dining experiences with fish and seafood dishes. Compared to European Capitals, eating at the restaurant in Beziers costs the same as eating a kebab in Istanbul or a coffee and croissant near the Eiffel Tower. If I think about it, Beziers was the only place where we went out to have breakfast, lunch and dinner.

If you really fancy visiting some landmarks, you can check the **Saint-Nazaire Cathedral**, in the high part of the town, with a remarkable Gothic architecture. From up there you can enjoy amazing views and even go up the bell tower. **The Old Bridge** (Pont Vieux) is closed to traffic, so pedestrians can walk across the bridge slowly and admire the Orb river. The asymmetrical Romanesque arches are part of the city-scape. On both ends, tourists can have picnics and relax.  The **Pont-canal de l'Orb** is an impressive aqueduct, where tourists can enjoy boat rides. **Links and referrals** Coinbase Earn - Up to $59 Compound (COMP) https://coinbase.com/earn/comp/invite/xghn36t9 Coinbase Earn - Up to $50 worth of EOS https://coinbase.com/earn/eos/invite/d1ztp30q **Amazon author page:** PV Mihalache https://www.amazon.co.uk/-/e/B019FB0ZNG **Quality Faucets:** Stakecube (20 daily faucets) https://stakecube.net/?team=sadu1 Tier 4 referral system: Horizen (ZEN) & ZCash from PipeFlare & GlobalHive https://getzen.cash/auth/register?ref=252508 https://pipeflare.io/r/zxn https://globalhive.io/auth/register?ref=1917 **FreeCryptos Gang**: DASH, TRX, ETH, ADA, BNB, LINK, NEO & BTC https://freedash.io/?ref=3945 https://free-tron.com/?ref=24942 https://freeethereum.com/?ref=39797 https://freecardano.com/?ref=228676 https://freebinancecoin.com/?ref=32397 https://freechain.link/?ref=1187 https://freeneo.io/?ref=1474 https://freebitcoin.io/?ref=319383 **Coinpot Gang:** DASH, BCH, DOGE, LTC, BTC & BTC2 http://moondash.co.in/?ref=D6EA38BF9E32 http://moonbitcoin.cash/?ref=E09F6730A19D http://moondoge.co.in/?ref=E09C54FEC554 http://moonliteco.in/?ref=49E875DC0626 http://moonbit.co.in/?ref=BE0EDE0CD1DC https://freebitco.in/?r=7275997 Free-Litecoin.com (LITECOIN) https://free-litecoin.com/login?referer=895809 **Join** **Lbry.tv** **to earn watching videos &** **Publish0x** **to earn while you read** https://lbry.tv/$/invite/@MindPuzzles:9 https://www.publish0x.com/?a=pmbk1p5ezJ **I use** **Brave** **and** **Presearch** **to earn BAT and PRE while surfing online?** https://brave.com/pvm417 https://presearch.org/signup?rid=1695040
