Puisserguier
In the middle of the vineyards, a few kilometers from the Canal du Midi and the town of Béziers, the village of Puisserguier.
More than 3000 inhabitants live in this village with a Mediterranean climate, crossed by the Lirou and other small tributaries, with the particularity of being built on a hilly area and surrounded by hills.
Puisserguier has, by its reliefs, a particular charm. Thus it is pleasant to walk around, on the paths of Saint Christophe and to join the orientation table to find the best point of view on the landscapes, the village or even the Mont Caroux in the background!
In the heart of the village, organized in a “circulade”, the charm of the old stones that adorn the buildings takes you back to medieval times, the culmination of which becomes an unmissable local attraction: the Château de Puisserguier!
Didn't you spot him, from the top of the hill, with the flag of Occitania floating in the winds?
Discovering Puisserguier launches you into a temporal adventure. You travel from medieval times to modern times and that is the whole point of staying there!
Visit the essentials of the village of Puisserguier
Puisserguier castle
The castle of Puisserguier dating from the 1209th century is being restored but it is possible to visit it thanks to the association ARESP. It is of real historical interest and immerses you in the Middle Ages from the year XNUMX during the Albigensian Crusades and up to the contemporary history of the castle.
Ecomuseum of memories
The ecomuseum transports you to the past, to a time not so far away, in which everything seems different and yet so familiar.
It is actually the world of your grandparents (or your great-grandparents for the youngest): school, shops and products of the moment, the hairdresser and hobbies of the time are reviewed there.
At the ecomuseum, during a visit, you will relive this carefree and reassuring era while feeling a pleasant nostalgia.

Puisserguiers in trompe l'oeil
Puisserguier is a village that enhances its appearance with originality and "Street Art"!
Thus several trompe l'oeil works – imagined by the Compagnie Vincent Ducaroy, which entrusted the production to Laure Fournier, Lucile Lambert, Anaïs Mazuez, Emmanuelle Seccia and Willy Viennois – embellish the village by representing scenes of local life.
