Home description
Located in a small village in an excellent location for the sea, lake, mountains and sightseeing. Many good walks from the house and we provide two adult bikes if you want to explore a little further afield, the countryside is ideal for cycling. Lots of historical sites nearby and easy day trips can be made to Carcassonne and the Cathar castles, Nimes, Arles, Avignon. Lively market town nearby for supermarkets, restaurants, shops and one of the best weekly street markets in the area.
The house is equally suitable as a romantic retreat for a couple or for a family, with one double and one twin bedroom. The big sitting room has doors opening to the sunny, s.e. facing terrace with fabulous views and an outdoor dining setting plus BBQ. A great place to relax after a busy day's sightseeing! The kitchen/ dining room has lots of charm with exposed beams, blue and white tiles and enormous old fireplace.
A pretty walled garden provides additional outdoor space and there is easy parking in the nearby square.
Superb views from big, sunny terrace

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.
Pezenas / Peret area
Péret is a picturesque little village climbing typically higgledy piggledy up a hill crowned by a 14th century church and 12th century chapel. Local shops include a mini market, boulangerie and internet café.
There are restaurants, supermarkets, shops and excellent weekly street markets in the lively market towns of Clermont l’Hérault, 8 kms and Pézenas, 10 kms, which is also known for its many antique dealers. Bar/restaurants in villages 4 kms along small country roads.
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.
Swimming at Mediterranean beaches, 35 minutes and Lac Salagou, 10 minutes, which is also fun for fishing and non-motorised water sports. Canoe hire on the river Herault, 15 minutes.
