St Nazaire Cathedral : The typical postcard image of Beziers, Saint Nazaire Cathedral was also witness to the Cathar tragedy. The cathedral was first mentioned in the 8th C. In 1130, the master builder Gervais built a Romanesque church of which little is left today. In fact, it was burned down on 22 July 1209 as part of the Crusade against the Albigensians. It was said that the cathedral "split in half like a pomegranate".
Rebuilt between the 13th and 15th Centuries, it is still a superb example of southern Gothic architecture with magnificent frescoes, a fascinating organ case, and other interesting items. In many ways repository of the town's history, it is also an invitation to come for a peaceful stroll or just to rest awhile: the Cloisters and the Bishop's garden are cool havens of peace on the hottest day. These are magical places, hidden from public view, which is typical of Beziers, but only to best preserve the atmosphere for those who choose to visit.
