Expats in Beziers

Where do you live in Beziers?  Maybe we can meet one day.

We are loving our life in Beziers.  We are staying in an Airbnb until we can move into the apartment we are buying in Beziers.

@virginia7260 Hi, there are many English expats in Tourbes - which is near Beziers, most frequent the Bar on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays nights. The new Mayor has improved the village and there is always things happening now. Great place to live.!

@Cheryl

I am looking for more information about life in Beziers from an expat perspective. We are Americans who have lived in France before and are looking to move back. We lived in Brittany in the past but are now more interested in the south. I read such conflicting information about crime, poverty, etc in Beziers that I am not sure what life is actually like. Any information about day to day and crime would be appreciated

Salut

rien de spécial à beziers

tres bien pour les retraités

@Julien Hello!  We are Heidi and Josh from the US.  We have had the opportunity to live for a few years in France in the past and are now interested in buying a home in France so that we can visit often and hopefully move to France again one day.  When we lived in France before, we lived in Brittany which we absolutely loved but are interested in learning a bit more about life in the south of France.  Specifically looking in the Beziers region for a variety of reasons.  Any insight on ex-pat life in that region would be very helpful. Thanks!

We are from California and tried Bezier for a few weeks, loved the general area but not the city as much. So we are trying Narbonne for a month, aside from the wind, it is really enjoyable. Easy to get around and buses to beaches are quick. Les Halles and the canal are much more attractive in Narbonne. Overall much more appealing to us, but it has only been a few weeks and our french needs to improve to understand the city.... Would love to meet up with any longer term expats to hear their experience. Good luck in your search.

Hi

nothing special in beziers

great for retirees

@greybasketball can you tell me what you did not like about the city of Beziers? Just curious and trying to learn as much as we can

Hi! Beziers felt much more closed off, many street had only shuttered homes and were dark (Narbonne also some streets like this but overall lots more activity). Wanted to like it, and maybe in the summer there is more going on, but overall wasn't a place we wanted to return to.

The shops and Les Halles are much nicer in Narbonne, they have a few nice museums and the canal is a pleasant walk in and thru the city. We have seen some art exhibits and free concerts, seems like more activities.

We only spent a few weeks in Beziers, but walked thru much of the city - nice views by the cathedral but overall Narbonne seems more liveable and more welcoming.

We are looking to relocate and Narbonne seems like a good option. Good luck!

Hello everyone,

Please note that I have added post 21 and 22 to this thread on the France forum as it is a topic dedicated to Béziers.

All the best

@rodbz22 hello

What you looking for

@rodbz22 okay so what you looking for

We are Americans looking to make the move to France next spring.  We are looking into the Beziers district or the general vicinity.  How are the rents?  Are there places to rent at all?   We would be coming from Mexico and prices here are not that great.  One would think differently but near Puerto Vallarta housing is not cheap.  Having spent time in the south of France we quite like it.  The Luberon region is very nice and Provence as well.  Stayed in a hotel for a week in Aix-en-Provence which we liked.  Also enjoyed Arles and Avignon.

Tell us about Beziers.  We'd love to learn.
