Béziers, A Postcard Picture

The arched stone bridge with flowers in the foreground, buildings at the riverside, the cathedral high on the hill, all combine to make another of those postcard pictures. As we have found elsewhere, Béziers is more impressive when viewed from the riverside, than what we found once we were inside the town.

That's not surprising, after all the skyline view of London, Berlin, Chicago, Dallas, or New York City is superior to the views seen right in the heart of that city.

On top of the hill, in the heart of town, there’s a park filled with tables and chairs. The funny thing is, the restaurants and bars are on the other side of this very, very busy street. Waiters with glasses and bottles on a small tray, and customers with burgers and fries, were scurrying among the vehicles as they went from bars and restaurants (one with Golden Arches), to table and chair.
