| The “Fête du Faubourg”, (22nd of August each year) is the anniversary of the liberation of Béziers in 1944. The day starts with a Service of Remembrance in the Church of St Just during the morning, followed at mid-day, by the laying of Wreaths at the Faubourg War Memorial. In the evening there is a Grand Banquet on the Banks of the River Orb, provided by the local Residents‛ Association (Groupement du Faubourg) and the presentation of a “Son et Lumiere” and fireworks presented by the Mairie (Town Council) and culminates with a Concert in the park. The theme of the son et lumière has commemorated the life of Jean Moulin leader of the French Resistance during WW2 who was born in Béziers in 1899. | ||||
