The Languedoc region has plenty of its own traditions and events to entertain visiting tourists. If you fancy including one of these celebrations in your holiday we have a few to recommend:
Fete Medievale des Caritats a Beziers
This incredible medieval fair takes over the town of Beziers for a weekend of fun for all the family in May. Look out for jousting, archery and even arm-to-arm combat as you weave through medieval markets, craft workshops and even take in a costumed parade up the Allees.
Locks Festival on the Canal du Midi
The perfect backdrop for an annual celebration of art and culture, the locks that punctuate the canal at Fonserannes, near Beziers, are a part of the incredible 17th-century Canal du Midi which is a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site. The festival offers some of the best that Beziers has to offer including presentations, exhibitions and talks, as well as several tastings and food displays.
