Vieussan is a small, unspoilt medieval village in a beautiful section of the Gorges de l'Orb (known for its canoeing), beneath striking mountains and surrounded by vines. Within ten minutes' drive are the pools of the Gorges d'Héric, Roquebrun with its Jardin Mediterranean, Olargues ('un des plus beaux villages de France') and a fine choice of vineyards ranging from large, professional operations to small traditional winemakers. There are excellent weekly markets in Saint Chinian, centre of the local appellation, the spa town of Lamalou, and Bédarieux (all 15-25 minutes away). Within 45 minutes drive are historic Pézenas with its wonderful Saturday market and Béziers with its broad tree-lined avenues. A little further afield are the fine city of Montpellier, many kilometres of Mediterranean beaches, Millau with its wonderful new viaduct designed by Norman Foster, the Gorges du Tarn, the Pyrenees (visible from some higher points on clear days) and (only 3 hours' drive) Barcelona.

Local activities swimming, tennis, walking, cycling, fishing, horse riding, golf

Notes:

Down some steps from your living room you have a shaded terrace with dining table in our walled garden, planted with aloes and other Mediterranean plants. Help yourself to cherries and figs in season. Our private river beach, with hammocks and picnic table under the shade of old trees and Vieussan's historic bridge, is down three terraces from the top level of the garden. There is a shallow area suitable for children to play, and access for river swimming. The accommodation is all on one floor and easily entered, and in this sense is very suitable for the elderly and wheelchair users, as well as small children. However the outside eating area is the top terrace of the garden and does require descending ten steps, feasible for many elderly people but not for wheelchair users. Access to our river beach involves going down less well made steps and paths, and is not suitable for the infirm. However you can drive to more accessible public beaches.
