    An important man of his time

      Alleys Paul Riquet

      Symbol of Biterroise identity, historical axis of the city since 1827 linking the Theater and the Plateau des Poètes and bordered by the recently renovated Place Jean-Jaurès, the Allées Paul Riquet constitute the living heart of Béziers. A privileged artery for leisure, celebration and commerce, it is often compared to the Ramblas of Barcelona. They host major festive events throughout the year and every Friday a lovely flower market.
      In the middle of this 650m long promenade stands the bronze statue of the designer of the Canal du Midi, Pierre-Paul Riquet, erected thanks to a public subscription on the initiative of the Archaeological Society of Béziers, and made by the sculptor David of Angers in 1838.

        Paul Riquet built the Canal du Midi. Beautiful avenue with plenty of space for strolling with many cafes, cars have enough space next door on 2 lanes
