Triumphal Arch

Highlight • Monument

The "Arc de Triomphe", also called "Porte de Peyrou" forms the entrance to the park "Promenade du Peyrou". The triumphal arch was originally a gate on the outskirts of the city and behind it was a drawbridge with which one could cross the city moat. The drawbridge has now been replaced by a 28-meter wide road bridge and the tram runs in the former city moat.

Les Matelles, medieval village

Highlight • Settlement

The name Les Matelles comes from the Occitan language: las Matèlas. The radical mata means clump, bush, clump of trees.
The historic center of the village has retained its medieval appearance and offers a maze of narrow alleys and cobbled streets, with tall houses adorned with beautiful exterior staircases, vaulted passages and architectural details that take you back in time.

Roman bridge

Highlight • River

There is a ford a little downstream. Dry in summer but somewhat borderline in spring.

Lez Resurgence

Highlight • River

It’s a shame that the resurgence can only be seen through a fence, there are fences everywhere… Precaution against vandalism?

Lez Spring

Highlight • River

Idyllic corner to picnic under the plane trees, at the edge of the lez ... before the easy crossing if the water level is normal 😮
