Walk on the outskirts of Béziers between nature and the city. Visit some of the city's remarkable points of interest. Always follow the water, in the shade if you choose the protected bank, passing through the locks (+ 2 footbridges) or along the Orb. The route is very easy as it mainly follows footpaths, with short sections shared with cars (be careful), and is accessible to children. It takes just over an hour at a brisk pace, or two hours at a leisurely pace.
