The market takes over the whole of the town and gest extremely busy in the Summer. Parking can be a bit of a nightmare, but try and head for the area around the station where there is a large free car park.

The olive oil co-operative in Clermont l Herault (on the left hand side of the main road through Clermont l'Herault) produces some outstanding olive oils and products made from olive oil extracts.
