Sitting on the geographic divide between the Iberian peninsula and mainland Europe, the regions towns and cities, including beautiful Carcassonne, Nimes and Montpellier, are connected by paths both ancient and new. Hike Via Domitia, a Roman road, or rent a barge for a trip down the Canal du Midi.

Musee de Lodeve (Musee Fleury)

In more than 1,000m² of floorspace, the Museum of Lodeve offers you three trails - three dizzying, playful and moving journeys, for both children and adults. The "Traces of Life" circuit recounts the story of the Earth since the explosion of life 540 million years ago. The "Man's Footprints" circuit tells you about Prehistory with humour and poetry. The "Sculpting Lives" circuit invites you into the eccentric world of the sculptor Paul Dardé.

Once again this little musee punching above it,s weight. The late impressionists exhibition is magnificent, a wonderful selection of paintings and artists from the period plus a brilliant film on the artist ( Le Sidaner), one of the leaders of the movement

I was really surprised by the size and diversity of this look back at Beziers' history....fascinating! I think they have everything covered. True...it is all in French, but there are enough exhibitions to make it interesting. My camera went into overload....

Le Pavillon Populaire

Reviewed By 263patrycjam

It is easy to find pavillon as the building is very characteristic and located near a highly attended Place de la comedie. We have seen two exhibitions, one presenting photos from ghettos and the other one presenting propaganda photos of Hitler, taken by his faithful, personal photographer. Both were interesting and moving, for me particularly as I am from Poland, where the majority of the photographed ghettos were located. Short but informative descriptions help to understand the photos but do not dominate them. A great supplement to the history lessons. A bit too heavy topic for summertime and holidays, so the exhibition was not crowded. But well organized and worth seeing for sure.
