Haussmann Apartment with Private Terrace in Centre

Property Description

Dreaming of a pied-à-terre in a Haussmann building for an affordable price? Enter this extraordinary building in the historic centre of Béziers, including a grand stone façade. The apartment itself has high ceilings, some with mouldings, a handsome old fireplace, and a beautiful floor with tomette tiles. The interior is straightforward and functional rather than finished to a high standard, but the potential is clear. At just over 100 square metres on the first floor, with three balconies, a private courtyard accessible from the bathroom, a cellar, and an independent equipped kitchen, there is real space to work with here.

The central location is hard to beat: between Les Halles and the Allées Paul Riquet, with all amenities within walking distance. Béziers has a train station with direct TGV connection to Paris and Barcelona. The beach and Béziers-Vias airport are a 20-minute drive.

There are two bedrooms, one of which retains an old fireplace. The bathroom (washbasin, bath) gives direct access to a private courtyard. Separate WC and utility room. Extras: Individual gas central heating and double glazing.

Location
Béziers is a hidden South of France gem that has been polished over the years and is now an even more pleasant town in which to spend some time. Whether you love strolling through picturesque little streets, having lunch or dinner at one of the many terraces or indulging your curiosity for French history: it’s all here. Some of the highlights are the Old Bridge (Pont Vieux) dating from the 12th century, the Saint-Nazaire Cathedral, and the elegant, plane-tree-lined Allées Paul Riquet surrounded by majestic Haussmann buildings. The recently renovated covered market, elected as the most beautiful one in France in 2025, is perfect for daily groceries or have a bite at one of the many restaurants. Also the Nine Locks of Fonseranes merit a visit. ‘Les Neuf Écluses de Fonseranes’, as they are called in French, are an ingenious water staircase made up of nine locks. This architectural highlight is part of the Canal du Midi, the 240 kilometres long waterway connecting the Mediterranean Sea with Toulouse.
