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 city was for a long time one of the most influential in Languedoc: the States of Languedoc met there regularly, and Louis XIII, Richelieu, or 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 confirm 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 is said to have fueled several of his future characters.

On the Place de la République stands the Monument aux Morts, the war memorial of the city of Pézenas. History of the memorial The memorial was erected after the First World War and commemorates the fallen soldiers from Pézenas. As in almost every French municipality, the names of citizens who lost their lives in the World Wars and other military conflicts were engraved. Such war memorials hold a special significance, particularly in France. Every year on November 11 (Armistice Day 1918) and May 8 (end of the Second World War in Europe), memorial ceremonies take place there. Design Typical of French war memorials, the monument features an allegorical figure representing the Republic, victory, or remembrance. The engraved names make it clear how strongly even smaller towns like Pézenas were affected by the wars of the 20th century. Significance of the square The Place de la République is one of the central squares of Pézenas. The memorial forms an important place of remembrance there and is regularly used for official ceremonies and wreath-laying.

A unique village in France, rich in cultural and architectural heritage. And it's a great place to live all year round. A word from a Piscénois.

There are almost no tourist trap shops in the old town center, but there are art galleries and local craft shops of all kinds. This place is very typical and has retained its soul thanks to its pedestrian aspect, its narrow streets, and its old facades. Visit while strolling.

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.
