About the home

This is a great, comfortable base if you’d like a break in a typical southern French town. The location is in a quiet street but only a couple of minutes' stroll to restaurants, shops and one of the best weekly street markets in the area. The main esplanade is just around the corner, with shady plane trees, outdoor cafes and restaurants.

The townhouse is spacious, air conditioned and extremely well equipped. The private terrace has a built-in BBQ and looks out over an avenue of plane trees. A car isn't essential but handy if you'd like to explore the surrounding countryside, and the property has a garage.

The Languedoc-Roussillon / Herault region

This region, Languedoc, is France's best kept secret, where you'll find the rural France you've always dreamed of. Sleepy villages of sun-warmed stones and red tiled roofs unspoilt by mass tourism, magnificent scenery ideal for rambles on foot or horseback amongst herb scented hills, with deep gorges tumbling into cool, inviting rivers.

If you can tear yourself away from such over-abundance of nature's generosity, there are many local places of interest nearby. Or an hour's drive takes you to splendid Roman towns such as Avignon, Nîmes, Arles to the east, stunning Carcassonne and the Cathar castles to the west. For a touch of true French sophistication, Montpellier, 45 kms, offers the arts, theatre, shopping, an international airport and train station. The Spanish border is only 1.5 hours' drive.

This is France’s largest, up-and-coming wine producing region and there are many opportunities to taste its excellent wines at private domains and cave co-operatives throughout the area.

The Clermont l'Herault area

Clermont l’Herault is a typical southern France market town of around 19,000 inhabitants. It is dominated by a feudal castle, which is one of the best preserved in Languedoc. The magnificent 12th century church hosts excellent concerts, often featuring its famous organ. The town is home to many exhibitions and events throughout the year.

Swimming at the town’s public pool, a five minute walk, lac Salagou, a 10 minute drive, or Mediterranean beaches, 35 kms. Sophisticated Montpellier is only 45 kms away.

Brilliant local markets, concerts and festivals year round include truffle, olive oil and wine fairs. Private wine domaines hold classical concerts in lovely surroundings during the summer - under the stars in a fabulous chateau courtyard or in an atmospheric wine store - followed by wine tastings.
