LOCAL AREA
Nebian is a village situated about half a kilometre off the road between Clermont l’Hérault and Pézenas; it is therefore quiet and has no through traffic. It is surrounded by hillside, vineyards and open country and there is good walking starting from the house. There is a small grocery store, a post office, a bar/cafe and a baker who bakes all his own bread and cakes and opens every day. Traders set up stalls in the village on most days selling meat, fish, vegetables and fruit. The nearest supermarket is about one and a half kilometres away in Clermont l’Hérault, which also has a good and picturesque weekly market, banks, restaurants, a theatre and cinema. Nebian is a friendly village and local people are very welcoming and helpful.
As well as being a good base for walking, Nebian is only 10 minutes drive from Lac Salagou, a beautifully situated large lake surrounded by hills with many small beaches; good for swimming and windsurfing.

Independent Comment
Traditional village houses offer many attractions on the theme of “very French” – each has its own unique charm and this is no exception. It is conveniently situated just off the Place with Post Office and bar/restaurant in the old part of this historic village. The good sized kitchen/dining/living area on the first floor is dominated by the huge and impressive open fireplace – ideal for the barbecue! Even the stairs (over 4 floors) have their traditional charm, especially up to the top floor light and airy double bedroom which leads to the inviting roof terrace. Good value village base for exploring the area and close to Lac du Salagou.
