I came to live in Beziers at the end of 2013. Although, at the time, it was a drab, sad, tired old city, it was obvious that there was so much history and potential for the future. I'm now so happy to be part of the city centre village, and although Manchester will always be my home town, Beziers is a sunny, cheap, up and coming retirement haven, with everything 10 minutes walk, or less, away, and we have our own international airport, about 20 minutes from the town centre. Robert Menard, rightist or not, has worked wonders for this town, and is a regular part of the community. From an old Marxist, that's a big compliment. Vive Menard, le smart renard!

I adore Beziers and thanks for this lovely little video. The Mayor M. Menard has transformed the town of Beziers and done a tremendous amount of good there.

Hi, my name is Michael. I lived in Béziers for three months back in 2017. So much fun there. It's the oldest continental European city -- beaches, mountains, forests are all like 20-30 minutes away. And L'orb River is like right there. It's built way up on a hill and has a farmer's market every Thursday. I so so so loved living in this city.

Beziers is one of those countless mid-sized French towns that are worth seeing but you might think twice about actually *going* to see. I was keen. Two main reasons: it’s southern and it has a fairly extensive Old Town. These two attributes, along with my innate francophilia, got me there. When you hail from somewhere north of the 55th parallel, trust me, any place south of the 45th reeks of ‘exotic’. Hence, Beziers, a mildly interesting mid-sized city, but crucially of *southern* France and with a quite decent-sized and little-known Old Town had me at ‘visit me!’. Sure, the lumbering cathedral resembles a rather ugly fortress-like thing, and it lacks decent, open squares, but who cares?, when you have gorgeous, fading, colourful tumbledown houses basking in the Mediterranean sun, while the cicadas are providing the buzzing soundtrack? What’s also attractive about Beziers is the fact that it’s resolutely a living, working town, with all the messiness that implies. Blacks, whites, and every colour in between, Christians, Muslims, and every faith and no faith, rich, poor, and every middle-ranking drone, all intermix in this true French melting-pot. Tension is sometimes often palpable, but for the passing visitor, the overall impression is favourable. Bonus? If you tire of Beziers, in Pezenas, 20 miles up the road, you have (France has) one of the most beautiful small medieval towns not just in France, but on this planet.

La Route de Sang (ou La route de Cruauté), nouvelle route touristique - la découverte des paysages et des patrimoines matériel et immatériel d' une région, le Sud de la France - qui offre soleil, vin, gastronomie, beauté - et la cruauté horrible de la corrida. Bayonne, Carcassonne, Béziers, Nîmes, Arles et autres villes: la honte de la France. La corrida: écrasez l'infâme!

You seem to have overlooked one thing (in actual fact, far more than one thing, but I'll concentrate on one thing), the fact that Béziers is a bullfighting town, that here, animals are stabbed repeatedly, first by the lance of the picador, then with the banderillas, the animal becoming weaker with each stabbing, losing blood with each stabbing, until the weakened animal oozing blood from every wound has to face the sword of the matador - which far more often than not fails to kill the animal outright. The animals, the bulls, of course, are seen time after time with the matador's sword embedded in their backs, until receiving one more blow, or multiple blows, with a further weapon. The animal dies slowly. This is a spectacle unworthy of a civilized country, a shame not just for Béziers, the South of France, France as a whole - and, of course, for Spain - but, it could be said, for European civilization. People of Béziers, people who visit Béziers - the people who attend bullfights and support bullfights, that is - have you no shame? Europe has so many other places to live, so many other places to visit. There are so many interests and activities not involving horrific cruelty - opera, reading, football, climbing, gardening and obviously many, many more. Nobody is compelled to attend bullfights. Leave bullfights to people with severely limited horizons. Leave this dismal town to people with severely limited horizons. This is a sun-drenched town which will certainly satisfy the needs of bloodthirsty visitors but not of humane people. Visitors - consider the attractions of Italy, which has the sun and the heat without the animal cruelty. Why anyone would want to move to such a place as Béziers is beyond my comprehension.
