Petits pâtés de Pézenas
The taste of this small spool-shaped pâté is surprising. It comes from the clever blend of sweet (lemon and brown sugar) and savory (lamb) flavors. These flavors combine wonderfully and have made this specialty a success since the 18th century! Enjoy it slightly warmed, at the start of your meal, accompanied by a good glass of muscat!
Gastronomy
Les Coques de Béziers
The Saint-Aphrodise coques, also known as Béziers coques, are a culinary specialty of the city. They are traditionally enjoyed during the feast of Saint Aphrodise, the patron saint of Béziers. Made with poolish, a liquid starter essential for achieving a soft and fluffy crumb, these delicious brioches are distinguished by their elongated shape and captivating aroma. They are perfect for breakfast or a tasty snack. To taste the best in Béziers, we recommend the bakery "Le Cristal," which won the "Golden Coque" contest. 44 Allées Paul Riquet, 34500 Béziers – 06 68 98 36 61
