Guest Comments:

" The photos were good and the property even better in reality which is the perfect way to do it. Information provided beforehand and in the house was more comprehensive than anything I have experienced before. The booking procedure and service was excellent throughout. We'll certainly check back with Juliana at South France Holiday Villas next time we can afford a holiday in France. "

"Hi Juliana,

What a wonderful holiday we just had. The house was simply

beautiful - so quaint, comfortable, well located and well equipped. It felt like home from the very moment we stepped inside. We totally fell in love with it. Please send on our compliments to the owner and many thanks

to you for suggesting it to us - it PERFECTLY fitted our requirements. I just wish we could have stayed on for all of August!

Many thanks again. We very much hope to be back in touch for next Summer. Time to start filling the piggy-bank again."

The Languedoc-Roussillon / Herault region

The village of Poilhes is divided in half by the pleasantly meandering Canal du Midi. The house is in the oldest half of the village, and seconds away from the canal and two lovely restaurants.

A small store and a daily bread truck serve the village, while complete shopping is five minutes away in the town of Capestang with its supermarket and larger selection of shops and 2 weekly markets.

If you are feeling energetic, there is a free municipal tennis court just a couple of minutes walk away from the house.

This is the ideal location to provide a relaxing holiday base, whilst being within easy reach of local attractions and activities. The Mediterranean coast is 20 minutes drive, Montpellier, the thriving capital of the Languedoc with its international airport is 1 hour away by car.

Fifteen minutes east of Poilhes is Beziers where you can stroll through the famous Friday Flower Market and Cathedral, and 20 minutes from Poilhes are some of the most enticing beaches in the Mediterranean.

A half hour's drive south are the Roman ruins and the cathedral of Narbonne. Just outside Narbonne one can visit the magnificently restored Cistercian monastery of Fontfroide, where an incident which sparked the first Albigensian Crusade was reputed to have happened.

For those with an interest in the Middle Ages, there are the Cathar castles such as Minerve, situated between two deep gorges, and Carcassonne, an intact Medieval city and the site of many an historical film.

One of the most diverse regions of France, the Languedoc offers mountains, lakes, rivers and beautiful stretches of coastline; major towns and fairytale citadels. Languedoc is one of the most prolific wine-producing areas of France and a happy afternoon can be spent touring the many vineyards and tasting the local produce.

Budget airlines fly regularly to Beziers (25 minutes), Montpellier (1 hour), Perpignan (75 minutes), Nimes, Carcassonne (75 minutes), Toulouse (2 hours) and Girona. Spain, Andorra and the Pyrenees are within easy reach. By rail, the TGV operates from Lille to Béziers or Agde. Eurostar has a non-stop service from Waterloo to Avignon (July to September).

The Beziers area

- Superb, child friendly beaches within a 20 minute drive, all with waterside restaurants and cafés.

- Béziers (10 minutes), historic town and capital of wine producing and rugby. Especially vibrant in August and during it's famous Féria. Perhaps the best flower market in the whole of the south on Fridays in the beautiful tree-lined main boulevard.

- Canal du Midi which links the Atlantic with the Mediterranean, miles of flat walks along the shady tow-paths. A choice of boat excursions can be taken.

- Carcassonne castle is well worth a visit, especially on jousting days!

- Roque Haute - outskirts of Portiragnes. Superb botanical reserve.

- Golf courses nearby at Béziers and Cap d'Agde

- Funfair at Vias Plage (July and August)

- Bassin de Thau - a calm inland sea teeming with fish. A breeding place for oysters and shellfish, producing over half the oysters consumed in France. Villages, such as Bouzigues and Meze, have many restaurants serving sumptuous platters of fresh shellfish.

- Haut-Languedoc Regional Nature Park - gorges, Lac de Salagou, a very beautiful area only 30 minutes drive away, with its stunning gorges and wuperb walking, hiking, river rafting, watersports and carp fishing.

- Roquebrun (called "Little Nice") with its Mediterranean garden with over 400 species

- Pézenas - City of Molière with an exceptional architectural heritage. Numerous arts and crafts artists with workshops open to the public. Large market every Saturday.

- Spain - an hour's drive to the border.

- Barcelona - approximately 3 hours' drive
