The Languedoc-Roussillon / Herault region

The Languedoc is the sunniest area of France and one of the biggest wine producing regions in France and the world. The beaches of the Languedoc are huge and uncrowded - they stretch for miles from Cap D'Agde almost to the Spanish border. The best nearby resorts include Valras and Serignan.

The nearest wine towns include Faugeres which is a 10 minute drive away - and produces many fine red wines which are already competing well with the finest Bordeaux wines.

The Lamalou Les Bains area

Surrounding the house is the spectacular scenery of the Languedoc National Park and Forest.
All amenities including a superb choice of restaurants and bars are just 2 km away in the Spa Town of Lamalou-les-Bains and in the town of Herepian.

The village of Les Aires (population 546) is situated amongst the vineyards in the foothills of the Montagnes Noires, 30 mins north of Béziers and between Montpellier and Carcassonne.

The charming Spa town of Lamalou-les-Bains has many shops, supermarket, bakeries, newsagents, a casino, and a great choice of café bars and restaurants. There is also a beautifully scenic golf course open to the public every day.

Further supermarkets, restaurants and bars are in Hérépian 3km and Bédarieux 6 km.

Restaurants that offer superb cuisine and excellent value are L'Ochre Rouge in Herepian, Auberge de L'Abbaye (in Villemagne l'Argentiere just beyond Herepian), Auberge De Combes (for lunch in order to enjoy the fantastic views of the mountains from their terrace), Le Forge in Bedarieux, and Les Marronniers in Lamalou-Les-Bains. All these restaurants get a mention in the Michelin Red Guide.

To work off the effects of the fabulous cuisine, there are many spectacular walks in the Languedoc National Park which surrounds the property. Don't miss the amazing Gorges d'Héric with superb freshwater swimming and kayaking at Tarasac where the Orb river meets the Heric river.

Lake Salagou (25 mins) is nearby for all water sports, freshwater swimming, beaches, lovely scenery. A great alternative to the busy Med beach resorts.

A huge range of Mediterranean beaches are 45 mins drive from the house. There is a huge choice of child-friendly beaches with all activities and entertainments, waterside cafés and restaurants from Valras to Cap d'Agde.

Cap d'Agde is 50 minutes drive away for nightclubs, further beaches, boat trips, casino, theme parks and a large water park, 'Aqualand'.

Gerona airport across the border in Spain is 110 minutes drive away from the house, and Ryanair has direct flights to Gerona from nearly all the airports it services in the UK and Ireland.
All these airports have Hertz Car Hire facilities and there are excellent weekly rates available from Ryanair.

If you are driving from the UK, you can choose the main route south through France on the A6 / A7 / A9 autoroutes or alternatively the newly completed A71 / A75 autoroute which is more scenic and less busy - and exit the A75 at Lodeve or Clermont l'Herault for Bedarieux.
Either way it is preferable to make an overnight stop on your way down through France as it is circa 1000 Kilometres from Calais to Monptellier.

Here are three recent references from satisfied families

1.
"Paul,
We returned on Sunday from Montpelier via Paris, - 7 of us.
We had a great holiday, and loved your house and particularly the pool and its environs.
We went to the Orb at Tarassac, visited Combes,the market in Pezenas, Roquebrun, all 7 did the 7km canoe/kayac ride to Ceps,- a memorable trip,enjoyed the Boucherie restaurant in Malagas. We did not make it up to St Michel. There is so much to see.
Anne G"

2. "We all had a fantastic holiday, with great weather for the whole time. The house itself was perfect, and had loads of room for us. Malcolm (the pool maintenance man) was extremely helpful and it was nice to know that, should any problems have arisen, that he was only a phone call away. Luckily however, we never needed to call him!! "

3. "Our client Mr. King has just returned from his holiday at Les Aires and has had
a very enjoyable time. He has asked me to confirm available dates for next
summer as they would like to come back."
