Map & local information

The property is located 2 km outside Pézenas, 25 min from the Mediterranean coast.

Pézenas prides itself on its past; reflected in its fascinating winding streets and period architecture. Often called the 'Versailles' of the Languedoc, summer visitors are treated to a feast of festivals, costume dramas, concerts and exhibitions.

Alternatively, take your pick from the numerous pavement cafés and watch the world drift slowly by before retiring to any one of the dozens of excellent, traditional restaurants. 4 supermarkets to choose from.

Don't miss the famous Saturday market that spills into the streets from daybreak and lasts all day. Discover the many artisan shops in the old quarter, and the kilometer-long stretch of antique and bric-a-brac (brocante) stores.

Sunny, sandy Mediterranean beaches lie just 12 miles south of Pézenas. Beachfront cafés, seafood restaurants and all the glamour and glitz of summer in the south of France.

Marseillan Plage and Serignan Plage for the quieter beaches, Cap d'Agde for all the entertainments, chic shopping and activities. Here you'll find golf, huge waterpark, 'Aqualand' (for both children and adults), water sports, boat trips, further restaurants and the Marine Aquarium.

Beziers and Montpellier offer excellent shopping and hypermarkets. Beziers has possibly the best flower market (Fridays) on the Mediterranean coast.
