Viewpoint from the Cathedral

The viewpoint from the cathedral, in Béziers

The viewpoint from Saint-Nazaire Cathedral offers an exceptional panorama over Béziers and the Orb valley. The Béziers audio-guided tour stops here to evoke this grandiose belvedere, over the river, the vineyards and the famous Pont Vieux.

The belvedere over the Orb valley

From the surroundings of Saint-Nazaire Cathedral, perched on the heights of Béziers, opens one of the finest panoramas of the town. The terrace and the esplanade that border the building indeed dominate the river Orb, which winds below, and offer a clear and spectacular view over the valley. The gaze takes in the famous Pont Vieux, which spans the river, the vineyards of the Biterrois that extend as far as the eye can see, and, on a clear day, as far as the distant reliefs. It is also from there that you grasp the link between the town and the Canal du Midi, another pride of the region. At sunset, the spectacle is particularly magnificent. The viewpoint from the cathedral offers the emblematic image of Béziers, a town perched above its river and its vines.
