Looking for something new ? Just a few hours’ flight from the UK, or 4 hours by train from Paris, Béziers Méditerranée invites you to experience a unique mix of traditions and conviviality. On the programme: immersion, emotions and unforgettable moments in the sunshine of the South of France.
Caritats: Step into the Middle Ages (Ascension Saturday)
Each spring, Béziers is transported back to the 13th century for the Caritats Festival, a historical celebration like no other. The city’s medieval streets come alive with troubadours, knights, jugglers, minstrels and craftsmen. Street theatre, historical markets, reenacted battles and a grand parade create a truly immersive experience for all ages — in one of France’s oldest cities.
Béziers Feria: Five Days of Passion and Tradition (Mid-August)
No mention of Béziers would be complete without its legendary Feria. Every August, the city bursts into life for five days of celebration. Expect flamenco music, bodegas (open-air bars), bullfighting traditions, street performances and a festival atmosphere like nowhere else. Whether you’re here for the party spirit or to soak up authentic southern culture, the Feria is an absolute must.
Saint Pierre Festival in Valras-Plage: Honouring the Sea (Last weekend of June)
Down by the coast, the charming fishing town of Valras-Plage hosts Saint Pierre Festival, a heartfelt tribute to the memory of lost seafarers. The weekend is filled with boat blessings, sea-themed activities, traditional music, guided tours and fireworks — all in a warm and welcoming seaside setting. It’s the perfect way to discover this family-friendly beach resort on the Mediterranean shore.
Summer Nights: Music, Markets and Mediterranean Vibes
All summer long, Béziers Méditerranée comes alive with festive evening events. Every Tuesday in Valras-Plage, and every Thursday in central Béziers, you’ll find open-air celebrations featuring wine tastings, live music and food trucks — ideal for enjoying the warm evenings with friends and family. For a more laid-back experience, don’t miss Jazz under the Stars every Friday evening at Les Orpellières in Sérignan. Set in a protected natural landscape between sand dunes and vineyards, this magical outdoor jazz series offers poetic, starlit evenings in a truly special setting.
Béziers Urban Trail: Run Through History (October)
Ready to discover Béziers in a whole new light? Lace up your trainers for the Béziers Urban Trail, an event that blends sport with sightseeing. Whether you choose a 10 km walk or a marathon, this race takes you through the city’s most iconic spots — medieval alleyways, historic monuments, staircases, arenas and even the cathedral — all in a vibrant, festive atmosphere. With various distances on offer, there’s something for every level.
