Colombiers, France

Colombiers is a community of the Herault, Occitanie region, 8 km southwest of Beziers which it borders. It is located on the Canal du Midi

The area developed in ancient times when inhabitants of the nearby Enserune oppidum came to settle in the plain along the Domitia Way that connects Rome to the Iberian Peninsula via Gaul.

Then a fortified castrum is built during the High Middle Ages, and Colombiers becomes a prosperous lordship. Its territory of 10 km² is enriched during the drying of the pond Montady in the thirteenth century.

The development of viticulture and the creation of the Canal du Midi support the good economic health of the village.
