The German-language television series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity" pays tribute to special sites from all eras and continents in over 250 episodes with short film contributions, which, despite all their differences, have one thing in common: they have been declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. One of the episodes presents the CANAL DU MIDI. This is a connection - desired in the minds of many centuries, but also considered impossible from a structural point of view - between the southern coast of France on the Mediterranean and the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean. "...even the Romans dreamed of a waterway between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. Powerful people and doers from Charlemagne to Francis the First failed to realize this idea, even Leonardo da Vinci tinkered with it in vain. It was not built until the end of the 17th century. The Canal du Midi is a technical masterpiece by one man, one obsessed with the idea, by Pierre Paul Riquet. He was a royal tax official and amateur engineer. He found a solution for how a canal that has to overcome a height difference of 190 meters between the Mediterranean and Toulouse can be constantly supplied with water. A 240.129 km long, 2.25 to 2.50 m deep waterway was declared a cultural monument as a "bridge" between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic with 328 structures such as bridges - such as the canal bridge over the Orb -, locks - such as the 7 lock cascades of Fonserrannes -, tunnels, aqueducts and 49 canals over streams and rivers." The episode about the CANAL DU MIDI is available in the ARD media library at the following link: https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/gcanal-du-midi-frankreich-folge-224/swr/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS82OTg2NDg2

Chapel of the Cordeliers, then of the Pénitents Bleus (14th - 15th centuries). Its "flamboyant Gothic" porch is rare in Languedoc. The choir and several spans were destroyed in the 19th century, along with the ramparts against which it stood. After having served as a meeting place for the representatives of the three Orders (Clergy, Nobility, Third Estate) for the drafting of the notebook of grievances, the chapel was sold during the Revolution, then bought and entrusted to the Brotherhood of Blue Penitents. Observe on the back wall the huge model, made between 1780 and 1810: it is the reproduction, to the nearest millimeter, of a gunboat commissioned by Louis XVI for the States of Languedoc. This warship patrolled along the coast of Biterrois, to discourage "Barbary pirates"

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.

Béziers Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church located in Béziers, France. The edifice dates from the thirteenth century, having been erected on the site of an earlier building that was destroyed during the Massacre at Béziers in the Albigensian Crusade. Address: Plan Mgr Blaquière, 34500 Béziers It totally worth to climb 165 stairs up to the tower of the cathedrale. The view is amazing!

It is here, and for a long time, that the affairs of the city are settled. Indeed, if the current building dates from 1729, it is in the same location, on the old Roman forum (currently Place Gabriel Péri and Place du Forum) then in the town hall, built by the consuls of Béziers in the 13th century. , that we were debating public affairs.
