Location & Surrounding Area.

The centre of Historical Beziers is only 5 minutes away, and is a vibrant town bustling with traditional Mediterranean shops and its magnificent Cathedral that looks out from its great height over oceans of vineyards. The Canal du Midi cuts through town, ideal for boat hire, or cycling along the tow path. Each summer the ‘Feria’ Carnival brings tourists from around the world. Make sure to take lunch at ‘Le Canard Bleu’ for traditional Mediterranean cuisine, it’s the best value in town.

Montpellier is less than an hour away, and offers excellent shopping and hypermarkets. Enjoy the superb Tram system, alight at the ‘Place de Comedie’ for sightseeing and refreshment.

The coastal plain provides literally hundreds of Domaines for superb wine-tasting – its obligatory! Samples will be generous, and in many cases (like ‘La Croix Belle’ in nearby Puissalicon) guided tours are provided.

The award-winning Restaurant ‘La Boucherie’ can be found in close by Magalas, but be sure to book in advance for Evening Dinner.

A little north, the stunningly pretty’ Gorge D’Heric’ (once described as a ‘sabre slash’ between the Mountains Espinouse and Caroux. The gorge is a must for walkers, abseillers and swimmers, the micro-climate providing beaches and rock pools. Spend a day here, take a picnic, and take a hike up to the plateau. Horse riding, Golf and Kayaking are also available in the Orb valley. Nearby Olargues has been described as ‘one of the prettiest villages in the whole of France, and Roquebrun (with its Mediterranean Garden’ enjoys the nickname of ‘Petit Nice’.

Lake Salagou is wonderful for fresh water swimming and water sports.

The additional nearby towns of St.Pons, St.Chinian and Lamalou-les bains (spa town) provide the visitor with plenty of choice with many cultural events and fetes taking place throughout the summer. Children will love the ‘Farm Zoo’ at Cessanon.

To the south, the nearest beaches are at Valras Plage and Vias Plage. Serignan Plage is a quieter option, but for ‘all the fun of the fair’ head to Cap d’Agde (20 mins) with its theme parks and the renowned ‘Aqualand’ water sports park.

To the east, you can discover the ‘Pont du Gard’ en route to Provence, or head west for the fortified ancient City of Carcassonne – readers of the ‘Da Vinci Code’ might want to seek out the ‘Holy Grail’.
