Accommodation and Facilities for the house in Herault, Languedoc-Roussillon, France

The Region

For many years Languedoc has been a well kept secret by visitors and residents with the unspoilt countryside, attractive local markets and untouched medieval villages. Wine growing is the major industry in Languedoc and in the last ten years the quality of the wines has surpassed every other region in France. From being a wine lake of indifferent quality, Languedoc can now offer many of the best wines in the world. This is the holiday that has it all. Get off the tourist track and experience delightful Southern France at its best.

The Town

Because Spain is only an hour away there is a strong Spanish influence in the local culture. The people are warm & friendly and the food & wine delicious. Caves (wine cellars), where wine tasting is encouraged, are everywhere. Fetes, festivals and markets occur all year round throughout many of the surrounding villages. For the history lover, the area is full of delights. Nearby is the captivating village of Minerve that straddles two deep river gorges. It was the site of a famous siege and the martyrdom of Cathars by the crusaders. The magnificent walled medieval city of Carcassonne is 30 minutes away. You can walk, ride or boat along the 16th century Canal du Midi, tie up to eat at any of the many restaurants that line the banks or work your way through the system of locks along the canal. For splendid cathedrals, excellent markets, shopping and museums there are the bigger towns of Montpellier, Beziers, Toulouse & Narbonne.
