The house is in a classic French village 49km north of Montpellier, sometimes called the Paris of the south because of the impressiveness of the architecture and the liveliness of the cultural life. It is 10min walk from waterfalls and river beaches, at the foot of the Cevennes mountains so you have both wild, unpacked countryside and the mellow Mediterranean vineyards of sensuous Provence. The nearest towns are Ganges(5km) and Le Vigan(15km) which are pleasantly slow-paced, full of nooks and crannies and sport festivals at different times of the year.You can walk out into the mountains from the front door and the roads are rarely congested for exploratory driving at all times of the year. The clear rivers Vis and Herault run nearby and are popular for swimming and canooing. The med beaches and the Camargue are an hour away.The village itself is an artist's delight with cafe/restaurant, post office, library and bakery. In winter it's possible to ski around Mont d'agouil 80km away.

Further details for this holiday house rental in St-Laurent-le-Minier, France

guests' impressions: These are some of the comments we have had from people who have stayed in the house: 'this is a house for people who enjoy a classically French environment.Both the house and the village have tons of character and we just loved our explorations, jumping in different parts of the rivers en route on and off throughout the day.Other days we just lazed, on the nearest sea beaches, by the river or on the sublime terrace, also wonderful for moon annd star gazing' 'we loved the combination of peace and quiet and loads of activities, rural or urban, which are easily accessible.Swam in the river, played lots of tennis(5 mins away) and went for superb meals in restaurants nearby or in chic Montpellier' 'fell in love with this most unusual house, with its medieval bits and nooks and crannies, and found the area very genuine and unspoilt.Enough places to visit for months! 'Activities for all tastes-trekking, sport, culture, delish dinners.Some days just walked into mts from front door.'

Other Activities: canooing; caves(famous ones);historic and geological sites; museums;festivals; markets; cinema;theatre

Charmantes Dorfhaus aus Stein

Kirsten-Sabine Sögel, Deutschland
Review Submitted: September 6, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Charmantes Dorfhaus, zentral gelegen mit einer wirklich traumhaften Dachterrasse mit Super-Ausblick auf das schöne Dorf Saint-Laurent. Alle Angaben entsprachen den Tatsachen. Wir haben uns vom ersten Moment an wohlgefühlt und haben jeden Tag genossen. Die Umgebung von Saint-Laurent ist ebenfalls sehr reizvoll, mit wunderbaren Bademöglichkeiten im glasklaren Wasser. Das Restaurant in unmittelbarer Nähe der Cascade ist empfehlenswert. Das Restaurant direkt auf dem Dorfplatz ist hingegen nur mittags geöffnet. Alles in allem wirklich ein empfehlenswerter Standort für einen gelungenen Urlaub im schönen Languedoc. Übrigens ist der englische Besitzer Gillian ausgesprochen hilfsbereit und sympathisch!

Frankreich pur!

Suse, Jens, Justus & Linus Leipzig, Deutschland
Review Submitted: November 23, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
Tolles, sehr individuelles Haus in einem verträumten französischen Dorf, mit allem was man für einen gelungenen Urlaub braucht : voll ausgestattete Küche (direkt in den Fels gebaut!), Waschmaschine, Kamin und einer traumhaften Dachterrasse. Außerdem gibt es nur wenige Autominuten entfernt einen wunderschönen, glasklaren Fluß der einen das Meer nicht vermissen läßt!!! Gute Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in Ganges (aber auch unbedingt die ortsansässige Boulangerie besuchen!).
Eine perfekte Adress für Menschen (Familien) die Land und Leute kennenlernen wollen und keinen Wert auf Massentourismus und deutsche Nachbarn im Urlaub legen!
Außerdem: Sehr netter Kontakt mit den englischen Besitzern!
