About the home

It is also ideally situated 10 minutes' walk from the beautiful blue flag sandy beach, which being shallow, is very child friendly. The house is in a quiet and peaceful location, no high rise buildings, next to a nature reserve yet it is only a 15 minute drive from Beziers.

The conservatory, with its glass sliding doors, opens fully onto the enclosed garden and patio area providing a safe environment for small children and allows guests to enjoy dining al fresco style.

The harbour at Cap d'Agde

The Languedoc-Roussillon / Herault region

The Languedoc borders the Mediterranean sea with its spectacular coastline, the Pyrenees mountain range and the fabulous Camargue, famous for its beautiful white wild horses. Languedoc-Roussillon boasts up to 300 days of sunshine each year, with warm and sunny weather starting in April lasting into October. Summers are hot and temperatures frequently reach 30C plus in July and August.

Things to see include mountains, lakes, rivers, wildlife, ancient cities, market towns and cathedrals. World Heritage Sites in the area include Carcassonne - famous for its medieval walled city, the Canal du Midi - wonderful for long walks, cycling or boat trips, and the Pont du Gard - a three-tiered Roman aqueduct. The area is rich in history - Hannibal's March, Roman Occupation, the Crusades against the Cathars and the Treaty of the Pyrenees establishing the border with Spain - and there are lots of Roman and Spanish influences still evident today.

Montpellier, the capital of Languedoc-Roussillon, is a lively university town with botanical gardens, the largest pedestrianised square La Place de la Comédie, a 14th century cathedral and is a 45 minute drive away. For those wanting to take a trip to the vibrant city of Barcelona, it is easily reached by motorway in less than 3 hours.

The Portiragnes Plage area

Portiragnes Plage is a quiet, Mediterranean coastal village situated near Beziers, with a local supermarket, boulangerie and various restaurants and bars in the village square and along the seafront. The sandy beach is shallow and safe for children, with various watersports on offer in the summer.

The nearest hypermarket can be found at Villeneuve-les-Beziers, a short drive away. Beziers is famous for its fortress cathedral, Cathedrale de Saint-Nazaire, and as a an important wine-making centre for the region. For wine lovers, take advantage of the chance to taste and buy local wines from the "caves".

The Canal du Midi is a short distance from the house offering a pleasant walk, cycle ride or opportunity for a boat trip, and the 9 locks can be found at Fonseranes.

Visit Cap d'Agde for its harbour, sitting in one of the waterside bars and restaurants watching the world go by. This is also where you can find the nearest 18 hole golf course and theme parks including Aqualand, ToonLand and DinoLand.
