My mam's time staying with me sadly came to an end and she had to go to Béziers to catch her flight home. I decided to accompany her as Béziers is somewhere I have long wanted to visit.
We had a nice train journey there, eating apple Tictacs and enjoying the stunning scenery of Languedoc-Roussillon. We cruised out of the Pryénées-Orientales, through Aude and into the department of Hérault, home of my beloved Montpellier and of our destination.
We left Béziers Station and the first thing we saw was a memorial with an angel.
The old town of Béziers is on a hill so we began the arduous climb. We were rewarded with some rather lovely fountains.
We saw a nice blue sculpture.
What I like about Béziers are the little touches that transform it from a quite ordinary south-of-France town to something fresh and surprising. A good example is the stunning street art.
We reached a square with an especially nice carousel. I loved the mermaids and the lone pig.

| Best crêpe ever |
The cathedral was very impressive and there was a gorgeous view of the surrounding countryside and the River Orb.
When we retuned to the carousel we found that the lights were now on! It was a nice surprise.
We caught a bus back down the hill to the station.

I then said goodbye to my mam who went to catch her bus to the airport. I headed back to the station.
Thanks for reading.
