The Languedoc-Roussillon / Herault region
The region is ideal for those looking for a Mediterranean holiday - with the beautiful sandy beaches within easy reach, the rolling countryside full of vineyards and the mountains of the Haut Languedoc and Pyrenees providing a beautiful backdrop. With 300 days of sunshine a year it is know wonder the area has become the favourite of the French in the last 30 years. There are also some major towns to visit with Beziers on the doorstep with its colourful summer carnivals and good shopping facilities, but also Montpellier and Perpignan to explore as well as the medieval fortress of Carcassone only an hour away.
Beziers / Cers area
Cers is a quiet wine village on the outskirts of Beziers, situated between Beziers and the coast. The village itself has a number of local fetes, and Beziers is well known for the Feria in August around the 15th which goes on for 5 days, including flamenco dancing, bull fights and street parties and parades -it becomes a real centre of attraction in the South of France. There are also of course many other events such as the music festivals, the traditional Friday flower market when the town centre becomes a sea of flowers, as well of course of the celebrations around the 14th July, Bastille Day.
Valras Plage has a summer of events with many live shows for adults as well as children at the Theatre de la Mer, an open air theatre situated next to the beach and harbour. These take place from May until September. The beach is just a 10 minute drive from 'Le Coin Vert' and has ideal bathing for children with its sandy beaches and play areas. There are many restaurants and a lovely marina/harbour area to explore.
The village of Cers is situated on the Canal du Midi where it is pleasant to walk and watch the canal boats go by. There is also a local restaurant situated there which provides a good place to do this especially as it is withing walking distance. The village also provides a bar, butchers, chemists, medical centre, 3 bakers, paper shop, grocers and of course the local wine cooperative where the local wine is produced and can be purchased. There is also a large Champion supermarket at the outskirts of the village where most items can be purchased. Beziers itself has a number of commercial centres on the outskirts with large Hypermarkets and a good selection of boutiques, cafes and restaurants.
Within a few hours drive are a number of attractions, Carcassone with its medieval fortifications and a world heritage site, the Knights Templar Village of St Guilhelm le Desert, the first time I visited admittedly some years ago it was only accessible on foot or mule being some distance from a main road but it has kept its charm, or of course Millau with its now world famous road bridge - the highest in the world and higher even than the Eiffel Tower. Millau is also famous for its glove making. The Spanish border is not that far about 1.5 hrs drive and Barcelona is 3 hours by car.
