Our last day trip from Pézenas was to Béziers, about 40km away. The town has a dramatic history surrounding the massacre of the Cathars (an heretical religious group) which took place in 1209. Linz talks about this subject in one of his lectures so he’d always wanted to visit. We had a very pleasant restaurant lunch and a long chat to the owner who has directed us to several excellent but “affordable” restaurants to visit in Paris. We’ll find out about the affordability when we get there, no doubt.
| The newer part of town is built around this attractive open pedestrian space  | The Cathedral & Bishop’s Palace dominate the old city  |
 Early morning winos not delighted to be photographed |  Perhaps the winos used to be church wall builders |  She caught me zooming in on her life in an old high rise |
