Throughout Languedoc Béziers is known for two things in particular: wine and bullfighting. Undoubtedly the best time to visit this town, which sits atop a rocky spur overlooking the great plain of the Hérault département, is during the four-day long feria when you can combine both!

The Annual Féria of Béziers takes place mid August, This event attracts over a million visitors to the town. The main theme is Spanish and the bullring is used during this event, but the main things for many are the eating, drinking and dancing to every kind of music you can imagine.

Bull fighting is not one of most popular of sports - but it is at the centre of the celebrations of the Feria at Beziers - and is not to be missed. The stadium is fully packed, and seats have to be booked in advance. A live orchestra provids music where it is needed. But the music stops honourably during the main dances of man and beast. A silence reigns the stadium appropriately, with the skill of the matador applauded. Afterwards the streets, the squares, private gardens, courtyards, are full of people enjoying themselves, with endless tables of food, music and entertainers from all over the world, private and public parties that seemingly go on for days. If you are in Languedoc in August - You must visit the Feria!
