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.
The Montpeyroux, Herault / Jonquieres area
Jonquieres is a small village of stone built houses surrounded by vineyards. The baker's van calls round in the morning with fresh croissants and bread, other commercial vans call during the week. The village of Montpeyroux, just 2kms away, has a good boulangerie/patisserie, grocer, butcher, a wine bar/bistro in a lovely setting in the main square, and bar/cafe - both provide meals at lunchtime and in the evening. Other villages 2 kms away have shops and restaurants, including 'le Mimosa' with 2 Michelin knives and forks.
Being in the heart of the Languedoc vineyards, there are many wine tasting opportunities, including several well respected private domains in the village itself.
Private 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.
There are restaurants, supermarkets, shops and an excellent weekly street market in the lively market towns of
Clemont l'Herault and Gignac. 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 for an exciting ride down the river gorge, with some fabulous scenery.
Brilliant local markets, concerts and festivals year round include truffle and wine fairs.

Guestbook for Les Oleanders
We enjoyed our stay very much and are very taken with the area ……. I don't know why it has taken us so long to have a holiday here. (Owner) was very helpful and kind - lending us his bicycles, his barbecues, maps, etc. We may be in touch for next year.
Mr & Mrs Meichan, Scotland
We had a great week at 'Les Oleanders' and got back today. We particularly appreciated (owner’s) efforts to make our stay enjoyable and informative. His enthusiasm and knowledge of the region and willingness to help added an extra ingredient to our stay.

Many thanks, we were very happy with 'les Oleanders', it was well provisioned from a Brits point of view, especially with a kettle! (Owner) was very helpful, and an interesting guy to chat with….
Everything was clean and well provisioned, it was a nice garden and a very quiet area.
