The Languedoc-Roussillon / Herault region
Eight years ago we discovered this historic working village, with its Roman bridge and 14th century gothic church (originally a much older Benedictine monastery), attractively set in vineyards in the Midi, just fifteen minutes from the blue Mediterranean. Now, this tranquil maison de village in St Thibéry provides the perfect base to explore the South of France the tourists have forgotten - the Languedoc - or simply to relax in the sun. A short drive from a nine-mile golden mediterranean beach, this typical french village house has been carefully converted into three comfortable, value-for-money self-catering apartments, combining all the advantages of private accommodation with the pleasures of sun-drenched local beaches, sleepy towns, superb wines and gourmet seafood.
Agde / St Thibery area
St Thibéry is a friendly working village, situated among the vines, just a 15 minute drive from a nine-mile long golden Mediterranean beach. Originally called Cessero (the name of the local wine) by the Romans, it was later renamed in honour of Saint Thibéry by Benedictine monks in the 9th century. A Roman festival is held every August, with Gladiators, Son et Lumière, and a banquet in the market square. The village has two bakeries, a small supermarché, a bar and restaurant within a short walk, but a car is really necessary to take full advantage of all there is to see and do throughout this fascinating region.
Closer to the village, call at a boulangerie or farmers market in the morning to buy a picnic lunch, take a boat or bike along the Canal du Midi, enjoy a game of boules later in the village, later still dine at home, or nearby, or in a neighbouring village, or a short drive away at the Michelin star restaurant in Marseillan, or perhaps at an accordion restaurant on the canal. Here you can relax and enjoy the leisurely pace of village life to the full, as well as exploring and discovering the many surprises of the Languedoc
How to get there
Nearest international airports are Montpellier or Nimes (approx 1 hour’s drive), Carcassonne, Toulouse or Marseille (2 to 21/2 hours).
Or by train via Eurostar to Paris or Lille, then TGV to Beziers or Agde for a fast scenic train journey. Regular trains from Montpellier and Carcassonne to Beziers and Agde.
If travelling by car from the east (Paris/Lyon), or from the west (Bordeaux/Toulouse), arriving on the A9 (E15) “languedocienne” autoroute, take the exit number 34 off the autoroute signposted Agde and Pezenas. Once off the autoroute, signs will direct you to St Thibery (a right turn about 2 km along the D13). If arriving from the north on the newer A75 (E11) autoroute from Clermont - Ferrand, leave the autoroute at Pezenas (which to date is the end of the autoroute) and take the D13 south signposted Agde and A9 autoroute, then watch for signs turning LEFT to St Thibery.
