Valros lies on the sun-kissed coastal plain between
Mountain and
Mediterranean.
Renaissance Pezenas is just 5 minutes away, with its
winding cobbled stone streets housing Antique Shops and Art
Galleries. The Saturday Market is a must for holiday makers,
and there are many pavement cafes plus a huge choice of
restaurants. Indeed, expect to find no better coffee in the
whole of France than at ‘Cardamone Café’.
Historical
Beziers is only 15 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
(30 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’.
Skiers can head for the Pyrenees (90 mins) and Barcelona is
just 3 hours away if you fancy breakfast on the Terrace at
‘Le Petit Verger’ but lunch on the ‘Ramblas’!
