The Languedoc-Roussillon / Herault region
Boujan is a small wine village between Beziers and Pezenas in the Western Herault, an area known as Cathar country steeped in history from the Greek and Roman periods as well as during its turbulent periods during the Midde ages.
Beziers is also known as the wine capital of the Languedoc Roussillon with close by the famous wine regions of St Chinian, Faugeres and Minervois with some great wines and beautiful countryside, and the mountains of the Pyrenees just a short drive away. The historic town of Beziers is excellent to explore, its history around the Madelaine church and the town cathedral overlooking the plains of the Herault to the Languedoc Mountains and the Pyrenees. Carcassone is nearby also.
Beziers / Boujan-sur-Libron area
The village centre was built around the wine trade and many of the traditional village houses and shops are dedicated still to this activity. The village has a number of fetes throughout the year and is well placed for restaurants and local shops, as well as access to the town centre of Beziers and the coast. The Canal du Midi, the Via Domitia are also nearby.
The city of Beziers is 5 minutes away by car and is steeped in Occitan and Cathar history, also playing host to one of the largest street festivals of the year in Mid August , the feria which goes on for 5 days!! There are many other such events in all villages with free concerts on the beach in Valras most nights of the year, the city of Carcassone not far away, the Pont du Gard near Ales, the Knights Templar churches best represented in the village in the Herault valley at St Guilhem le Dessert, the Cathar castles and towns and the mountains of the Pyrennees.

Guestbook for Villa La Bressoniere
We enjoyed our stay in Villa Bressoniere, which is well placed near Beziers for access to most parts of the Languedoc. The house is a really French experience and we will return - The Dinsdale family, Surrey
Villa Bressoniere was absolutely perfect - we really enjoyed our stay there and liked Beziers very much - thank you. In fact, we hope to be able to buy our own holiday cottage somewhere nearby in the next year or so. Thanks again for a great holiday and for all the directions and local info which were very useful. Rebecca Cox, Northamptonshire.
We had a great time at the villa, very relaxing in a beautiful villa with the bonus of fantastic weather all week. Gary Sneddon, Edinburgh
