Nissan-lez-Enserune

Nissan-lez-Enserune , also spelled Nissan-lez-Ensérune, is a French commune in the department of Hérault, region of Occitania, situated just south of Béziers. Its inhabitants are called the Nissanais.The surrounding hills to the north are formed of Miocene mounds while access to the south is blocked by a long line of Oligocene hills, part of which forms the red clays of Nissan. These clay banks were mined in the 19th century by potters and tile makers. The hills, parts of which have become uncultivated today, are conducive to the cultivation of vines, that are starting colonization again. The decrease in sheep farming has allowed the reforestation of part of the hills, thus offering vast areas for walking and cycling.
