Béziers, France, is situated just 6 miles from the Mediterranean coastline, and the town enjoys a pleasant Mediterranean climate similar to the popular resorts on the beachfront. Warm summers and particularly mild winters are two of the climate's best features, along with relatively low rainfall all year round, making it the perfect destination for being out and about.
The weather in March in Béziers is similar to many of the neighbouring southern France towns, such as Servian. Rainfall remains a low 28 mm on average, which is expected to increase towards the end of the month as spring approaches, and temperatures increase slightly, although with readings ranging between 7 and 16 degrees Celsius typically, it's certainly still 'jacket weather' throughout the region.
Before the April showers arrive, take advantage of the dry weather and head to the Golf Saint Thomas golf course. The 18 hole course is set amongst a typical Mediterranean setting and welcomes both experienced pros and beginners. All equipment can be rented, and beginners can choose to undergo some one-on-one or group coaching to learn the ropes. The onsite proshop is ideal for picking up some equipment or accessories for the game.
The Restaurant Octopus was opened in the town centre in 2005 by three Parisian chefs hoping to blend influences from the capital with traditional Mediterranean cuisine. The inside dining area, perfect for cool evenings, is furnished with dark and heavy teak tables, while the outside summer dining section accommodates around 25 guests on the picturesque patio. Choose from the menu, or allow the chef to select the perfect food and wine pairing for you.
The Hotel Confort offers some of the most inexpensive accommodation options in the town centre, with rooms starting from just £29 per night. Standard rooms overlook the canal, while the 'comfort' rooms come complete with balconies overlooking the town below. Breakfast is served each day for the small fee of £5 and includes hot beverages, juices, pastries, bread rolls, and a selection of butters and jams, and can be served in room for breakfast in bed.
