But many other towns with dazzling heritage await you throughout your stay: Pézenas, the town of Molière, just a few kilometres from Vias, as well as Sete, the town of Brassens, and even Montpellier, the town of Rabelais.

If you prefer hiking, there are many listed sites throughout the department: From the Cirque de Navacelles with its breathtaking cliffs, to the red earth of the Lac du Salagou, not forgetting the Canal du Midi, you'll need to be well equipped to take in the sights.
