With its tree-lined squares, fountains, and narrow streets, Capestang is a lively village with a typical Mediterranean atmosphere. The village is located just twenty kilometers from the sea. Who would suspect, passing through, that its fate was long linked to the harvesting of sea salt? Indeed, the pond that gave it its name, "Lou Cap de l'estang" (meaning "the head of the pond"), brought wealth to the town around the 14th century. Largely dried up today, it is reborn with the rains and floods, creating a protected wetland landscape classified as a Natura 2000 site, where various species of birds and flamingos come to nest. Thanks to its salt marshes, its fertile land, and its geographical location at the crossroads of trade routes, Capestang experienced its golden age in the Middle Ages. From this rich historical past remain unique monuments that make Capestang such a singular city, where life is good.

Excellent guest house which offers dinner (vegetarian!). Very friendly hosts and spacious rooms with (in our case) an amazing bathtub, which was perfect after a rainy bike ride. Also, they have locked, covered garage to secure bikes. just off the Canal in Capestang and near main plaza and Church.

The Saint Bauléry castle with its lands belonged to GUILLAUME BERMOND du CAYLAR, Governor of the city of Béziers, Lord of Puisserguier, Maureilhan, Colombiers and Cébazan. His descendants were the owners until the revolution. The building included an 11th century church, Saint Bauzille de Lodaza, which depended on the Benedictine Abbey of Saint Chinian. The castle housed two families of sharecroppers and shepherds until 1850.

This pretty little village located on the banks of the Canal du Midi was built around the superb Saint-Etienne collegiate church. At the crossroads of several rivers, it is also the starting point of the GR 78, the Piedmont route.
