2- what happened here in the Revolution. Marat didnt do anything bad did he?? i may support the old revolution, but i despise Marats memory for he was the true enemy of the people!
to get an idea of what this town looked like in middle ages, you must look at villages in middle east. many in rural areas have not changed in a 1000 years, not a big modern building in sight. all the buildings and houses closely packed with very tiny narrow streets. some villages still have theyre original walls!
I enjoyed the tour of Bezier and found it excellent. I will never be a visitor to the town but I am glad it was on the Tour De France route itinery this year.
Great fun. I live here but have never taken the little train through the town. Try arriving by the big train and come up through the gardens on foot. It's beautiful.
I will do a European trip in November and hoping to stay for a night or two in Beziers. Is it true that Beziers is lovely even in the winter?
Also.. is the town easy to reach? We will be coming from Brussels, Belgium.
What are the nearest seaside town? Are Narbonne, Albi and Pèzenas worth a visit, and are they easy to reach? (We will be counting on public transportation)
In 1209 the crucaders killed all the inhabitants of Beziers because the people of this beautiful city refuse to deliver all the Cathars and Jews to this "holy army". "Kill them all, God will recognize His own people" Arnaud Amaury said. Because of this ultimate sacrifice Beziers is very dear to me.
I think he said "Burn them all, God will recognize his own people". That what my old teacher taught me, back to the primary school.
Anyway, Cathare from Beziers lost that war because of a very deep arrogance : who is dumb enough to attack the guys who attack you and leave the door of the city open ?... such a biterois caracteristic (being dumb, I mean)
Still, two corrections, just to do history no harm. The exact words of Arnaud Amaury can be read just before entering Beziers. "Tuez-les tous, Dieu reconnaîtra les siens". Or, "Kill them all, God will recognize His own people". Second, the Cathars where far from arrogant. They where against any form of violence. They didn't participate in this attack or in any attack during this crusade. So, just forget what you have learned on your primary school. It's far more complex than your comment.
ok ok ok sorry ! maybe not the cathare from Beziers but the biterois (not all of them were cathare, right ?) were ... still are... anyway ... were dumb enough to open the gate ... and I apologize for my lack of memories or if I did upset you bro.
No need to apologize. But sometimes I can get bittered to read peoples reactions regarding this gnostic group of people, or cathars, as we called them today. And after nearly 25 jears or research I am still reading new translations conserning there way of life. The dualistic way of thinking, a life without violence, men and women were equal, etc. It's a window to commen life starting around 950 up till 1321 when the last parfait named Belibaste was burned at the stake in Villerouge-Termenes.
The centre of town, just off the Allée. Yeah, sure there are some dickheads in the town, and the Racailles give you hassle, but it's the same in any town.
kinda ghetto @ night :O 3:00 i drove my car through these narrow roads crazy :P

Hello,
I am very curious!
I will do a European trip in November and hoping to stay for a night or two in Beziers. Is it true that Beziers is lovely even in the winter?
Also.. is the town easy to reach? We will be coming from Brussels, Belgium.
What are the nearest seaside town? Are Narbonne, Albi and Pèzenas worth a visit, and are they easy to reach? (We will be counting on public transportation)
Thanks you!!
