La Guinguette, Béziers

Set right on the bank of the Orb in Beziers, this is a delightfully peaceful spot. The cathedral is almost directly above you as you sit sipping your chilled rosé and looking out for ripples in the water that tell you that big brown trout are swimming close by. Entrance is via La Plantade, a garden and playground at the bottom of the hill just along from the Vieux Pont.
