Planning a trip to Pezenas

Getting There -- Local buses connect Pézenas with Béziers and St-Jean-de-Védas, which connects to Montpellier via a tramway. If you're driving from the north, take the A75; from the east or west, take the A9 and exit at Agde-Bessan.

Special Events -- The Molière festival in June or July takes over the town with open-air productions, street theater, and fireworks. Pézenas also holds a major carnival in February to celebrate the last few days before Lent.
