9.00am - 6.30pm: Excursion to Pezenas - Canal du Midi - Béziers
Pezenas, nicknamed the little Venice of Languedoc, does not bear this title for nothing. Indeed, it was for many years the capital of Languedoc and the resting place of several French kings, queens and aristocrats, who built many private mansions there. The city inspired Molière, the famous French theatre writer of the 17th century, for more than 10 years. After a tour of the town, we will take a break at the famous black sand beach of Cap d'Agde where its volcano exploded several hundred thousand years ago, creating black sand beaches unique in France. The panorama on the sea is simply splendid. We will discover the famous locks of Fonserannes of the Canal du Midi, the oldest canal in Europe, built 350 years ago, 250 kms long, it is of course registered in the Unesco heritage. Finally, the day will end with a visit to Béziers, the region's wine capital, and its magnificent Gothic cathedral of St Nazaire, with its grandiose panorama over the Béziers region.

We will go up to visit the Basilica of Notre Dame de la Garde, a 19th century neo-Byzantine church, a pilgrimage of the Marseillais nicknamed the Good Mother. The view of the city and the castle of If, the famous Count of Monte Cristo, is exceptional. Then we will walk along the Old Port to discover the Roman Dock Museum and the narrow streets of the Panier district. We will finish the visit of the district by the old Charité. We will then visit the Notre Dame de la Major Cathedral which has one of the highest domes in the world. Combining Roman and Oriental styles, it is a real treasure with Byzantine arches, white marble and beautiful mosaics inside.
