Tips from the Community
Pézenas is not just about Molière, even though the playwright stayed there several times between 1650 and 1656 under the protection of the Prince de Conti. The town was long one of the most influential in Languedoc: the Estates of Languedoc met there regularly, and Louis XIII, Richelieu, and the Prince de Conti stayed there. While strolling through the narrow streets, keep your eyes open: many doors still retain their original knockers and ironwork, testaments to the skill of Pézenas artisans. A tradition that is perpetuated today by the Musée de la Porte et de la Ferronnerie, unique in France. Finally, one last curiosity: the famous Maison de Molière should not be misleading. Despite its name, there is nothing to suggest that the playwright lived there. Local tradition rather holds that he liked to settle in the barber Gély's shop, where he observed the inhabitants and their foibles, a source of inspiration that would have fueled several of his future characters.

We received a very warm welcome at the Oustalloise guesthouse, located right on the cycle route. A good meal in a place with not much else to offer.

This characterful village is located in the heart of Languedoc-Roussillon in the Avant-Monts territory. Faugères is full of charm to discover, including its mills, its AOP wines, the art of dry stone listed by UNESCO.

Superb segment through the shade of a small wood, which can even be done on a short hike from the St Benoit equestrian center

this segment is quite magical, it is part of the FFC circuit n°5, in a stream without water but under fairly dense vegetation, especially if you are the first to go there during the season. also take the opportunity to make the FFC5 modify.
