Béziers: the new French Hotspot

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, budget airline Ryanair is launching a new route in May between Bristol and Béziers.

Beziers, located in the beautiful Languedoc-Rousillon region of southwest France is already a favourite with UK travellers and property owners, the latter owning around 10% of all holiday homes in the area. The new Ryanair route brings the number of Languedoc airports with a direct connection to the UK to five.

Formally a little down at heel, Beziers is undergoing something of a renaissance and now boasts a host of smart wine bars and restaurants, including La Compaigne des Comptoirs run by Michelin-starred chefs Jacques and Laurent Pourcel.

It also hosts the world-famous Feria du Beziers, centred around bullfighting every August which attracts over a million visitors to the five day event.
