Home description
The property is situated in the peaceful hamlet of Le Barry, 5 minutes' from the lively village of Montpeyroux with shops and bar/restaurants. The market town of Gignac, 5 kms, has supermarkets, restaurants, shops.
An excellent location for the sea, lake, mountains and sightseeing. Many good walks from the house, including the romantic, ruined 10th century chateau perched on a hill nearby. Ideal area for cycling.
The spacious open plan living area has a chic yet relaxing ambience and the house is exceptionally well equipped for a carefree holiday. The high degree of comfort along with the charming, peaceful garden ensures that many of our guests return year after year - some for the sixth consecutive year!

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, 40 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. Montpeyroux itself has numerous private producers and its cave co-operative is one of the best you'll find.
Montpeyroux, Herault area
Le Chai is situated in the medieval hamlet of le Barry, part of the lively village of Montpeyroux. In Montpeyroux, a 10 minute walk/a couple of minutes’ drive away, are good boulangerie/patisserie, butcher who stocks a limited range of groceries, a wine bar/bistro in a lovely setting in the main square, and bar/cafe - both provide meals at lunchtime and in the evening.
There are restaurants, supermarkets, shops and an excellent weekly street market in the lively market town of Gignac. Montpeyroux has a small market on Thursday mornings. Historic Pézenas, 15 kms, has an all-day Saturday market and is also known for its many antique dealers.
Swimming at Mediterranean beaches, 35 minutes and Lac Salagou, 15 minutes, which is also fun for fishing and non-motorised water sports. The river Herault is only a 10 minute drive, it has a pebbly beach plus canoe hire.
Brilliant local markets, concerts and festivals year round include truffle 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.
