Photos
The Languedoc-Roussillon / Herault region


The area as described earlier is one of rolling hills of vineyards and perched villages against a backdrop of the Languedoc National Park. These hills are interspersed with river valleys leading down to the coastal path and long Mediterranean beaches, with inland sea lagoons some used for oyster culture and pretty fishing villages. The climate offers lots of sunshine throughout the year as well as many leisure pursuits whether it be golf, cycling, rambling, canoeing, horseriding, bird watching, canoeing, yachting, windsurfing, etc
And we haven't yet mentioned it is the largest wine region in the world producing these days some excellent wines. The towns of Beziers, Pezenas, Narbonne, Perpignan and Nimes as well as Carcassone are all within a short distance as is the regional capital Montpellier a young and yet vibrant city. The area is full of culture and from the Romans and Greeks as well of course the Cathar history that marks the area. Barcelona is 3 hours drive and Toulouse two hours.
The Beziers / Magalas area
The centre of the village has shops as well as a medium sized supermarket next door in Magalas and larger supermarkets in Beziers and Pezenas. There are three or four restaurants in Magalas which is within walking distance (about 15-20 minutes) and they range from the local village cafe offering a wide range of food, a family restaurant and a very special restaurant that has to be reserved in advance. Alternatively you could take the 3 minute drive to Magalas.
A number of festivals are held in the village and the surrounding villages and town throughout the year - from the Feria in Beziers in mid August (11 -15th), basically the largest street party in the south of France and based on Spanish and Occitan culture to the Festival Moliere through June and July in Pezenas. There are many other festivals held througout the year particularly in Beziers and Valras Plage has free on the beach concerts during the peak season but be warned they are very popular.

Guestbook for Maison des Hirondelles
Yes, the holiday was great and the house was superb. It was the first time we had visited the Languedoc and will certainly return in the future. We were very impressed by the professionalism and efficiency of everyone involved in the rental, yourselves and Housekeepers. - Mark Evans and family
