Enquire nowThe Languedoc-Roussillon / Herault region
The historic area of Languedoc-Roussillon has been attracting visitors since before the Romans. The Emperor Nero had the coins minted here to pay for his soldiers from the silver which was mined just outside Lodeve.
The climate is typically Mediterranean. Long, hot summers with cicadas singing their love songs in the umbrella pines.
The Lodeve / Les Plans area
Lodeve is a fascinating ancient town. Once walled and controlled by the church. The Cathedral of St Fulcran dates from the 13th century and is adjoined by the stunning bishops' palace and park - which now houses the Mairie and public park. Bishops have reputedly included George (of the Dragon fame) and Bernard Gui (immortalised by Umberto Eco in his book the Name of the Rose).
Miracles have happened here in town and dinosaurs have walked around it.
The Museum Fleury of Lodeve is one of the most renowned museums in France with a permanant collection of Paul Darde's work and works by well known impressionists. Visiting exhibitions attract visitors from all over Europe.
Lodeve is also the nearest town to Lerab Ling. This is the largest Tibetan Buddhist Temple and Teaching Centre in Europe, and the Dalai Lama will be making his second visit here later this summer.
Lodeve is perfectly located for countryside and seaside trips out. While the town itself hosts a series of colourful events throughout the summer, in particular. In July the world famous poetry festival of the Voix de la Mêditerranée happens each year at the end of July. There is a Saturday weekly market in the town which has been happening regularly since the 10th century.

A lovely little cottage tucked away in the owner's garden at the edge of town. Bob couldn't have been more welcoming - fresh croissants on the first morning, restaurant recommendations, lending books to read etc - and the setting was gorgeous. The weather was perfect and we ended up spending lots of time just lazing by the lovely private pool and cooking fab local meat and veg on the BBQ provided. Lots of things to do locally too though - our best was canoeing down the stunning Gorges d'Herault (if you do this, take a picnic!). |

Le Mazet was a revelation a beautiful old wine store (we think) really well converted by its owner Bob. The kitchen was well equiped and the garden area was secluded and convenient. The pool and the first floor terrace were wonderful plusses. The property is really well situatedwith easy access to the beaches in the South. Our one regret was that the Buddist temple which is very closeonly opens to visitors on Sunday afternoon. So be aware as it definately looks worth a visit. The gite was terrificbut as far as we were concerned the biggest plus point was Bob himself.He was great,always friendly,lots of stories and extremely helpfull. We hope to return in the near future. |

Bob, the owner, was extremely welcoming. He was thoughtful and attentive to detail; friendly but without being intrusive. His years of experience in managing a holiday let shone through; everything we could possibly need was provided and everything was arranged and set out in a clear and uncumbersome way. It meant we could get straight into the holiday without sorting out time-consuming domestic details. The property is situated at the heart of some excellent walking areas and a few minutes' drive or bus ride from the town of Lodève. We went for the Voix de la Méditerranée poetry festival and Les Mazes was a calm and peaceful place to reflect on and process the creativity energy of the days spent at the festival. |
