LOCAL AREA
Places of interest
There are many villages to visit nearby. These include the busy market towns of Lodeve, Pezenas and Clermont l'Herault. All have local markets, which is an enjoyable way to mix with the locals and sample their products.
Just to the north of the village, through striking scenery, is St. Guilhem-le-Desert with its small religious community and 12th century church.
On the way to St. Guilhem-le-Desert is a lovely fresh water pool, which is used by the locals for swimming. You can also go canoeing from there, and from a nearby village Roquebrun.
Lac du Salagou is only seven minutes drive away and is an excellent place to swim, wind surf, fish and canoe.
Montpellier is a short drive to the east and Beziers and Carcassonne to the south. All have historical interest, good restaurants and shopping.
The Mediterranean is a 45 minute drive south, with the ancient ports Agde and Sete (France's biggest Mediterranean fishing port, with oyster beds) to visit, besides the swimming.

Independent Comment
The house is conveniently situated in a quiet narrow street in this attractive village, only a short walk from the shops and amenities. If you fancy a traditional and very French holiday base, this spacious house has plenty of appealing features. The first floor kitchen/dining/living area with impressive fireplace and woodburner is a good size, as is the double bedroom, with original patterned floor tiles throughout. On the 2nd floor, next to the ensuite double bedroom, is the very large high-beamed main living room, light and airy and comfortably furnished, leading to the excellent south-facing roof terrace – a perfect retreat after the day’s activities - there is much to see and do in the area.
