à cheval entre Béziers et Narbonne, en région Languedoc, le joli village de Capestang fera le bonheur des passionnés d'histoire et de vacances reposantes. Having once experienced a period of prosperity, the town is indeed endowed with important tourist monuments. Moreover, this beautiful region abounds with little corners of paradise.
Capestang and its historical heritage
If you have always dreamed of visiting French towns known for their rich historical heritage, a stopover in Capestang, in the department of Hérault, is a must. There are many historical remains to marvel at, such as the Gothic collegiate church of Saint-Étienne, built in the 13th century and majestically overlooking the town of Capestang. Classified as a historic monument, the collegiate church is very similar to the famous cathedral of Narbonne.
From the top of its tower, take a moment to contemplate Mount Canigou, the Cévennes and the Pyrenees. The castle of the Archbishops of Narbonne also proudly illustrates this city's heyday. Inside, take the time to admire its ceiling, embellished with magnificent 15th-century paintings.
Capestang and its activities
While history buffs revel in their stroll through the heart of the town, nature lovers are invited to discover the surrounding area. The Narbonnaise regional nature park, for example, brings together diverse and beautiful landscapes. Avifauna enthusiasts can photograph different species of sedentary birds there. For an oeno-gastronomic or gastronomic discovery, you are spoiled for choice among the many cellars colonizing the region, such as the Domaine de Saint-Laurent, which produces the famous AOC wine.
You can also stop off at one of the village's charming restaurants to sample the local specialties, including the asperge des sables (sand asparagus) or the petit pâté de Pézenas (a type of bread). River yacht and barge charters from Capestang are also among the region's must-do activities. Superb river boat trips await you on the Canal du Midi. The charm of the region is revealed on excursions that will take you to Gruissan and the Grazel lake. Not far from Gruissan, La Palme offers water sports enthusiasts the opportunity to veer towards kitesurfing. Head towards Valras, next to the beach, where you can enjoy a little swim.
