Finally got some sunshine this afternoon to allow me to get some photos, after basically clouds and rain for the last 2 days.
I completed this puzzle Tuesday afternoon. The bottom section was tough but I worked on it in sunlight some which helped distinguish the colors a lot.
Beziers is a town in Languedoc in southern France. Béziers hosts the famous Feria de Béziers, centred on bullfighting, every August. A million visitors are attracted to the five-day event. Béziers is a member of the Most Ancient European Towns Network.
The town is located on a small bluff above the river Orb, about 10 km (6.2 mi) from the Mediterranean coast, and 75 km southwest of Montpellier. At Béziers, the Canal du Midi spans the river Orb as an aqueduct called the Pont-canal de l'Orb, claimed to be the first of its kind.
Saint-Nazaire Cathedral : Situated in the high part of town, it occupies a picturesque site, visible from afar when approaching Béziers on the road from Narbonne.
