The historical center

Just a few steps away from the main avenue where the marketplace is, you will find the historical center of Pézenas. Arond the corners of its small streets, you will fall upon small craftsmen shops, atypical museums, but especially on the mansions with their singular architecture which will undoubtedly be one of your resting places during your whole stay.

 

Summer delight

If you are blessed enough to be coming during summer, you will be able to enjoy the Estivales, an event you don’t want to miss on Friday evenings.
