In the heart of the Hérault department in Languedoc-Roussillon, Villa Carreaux Bleus is located just outside a wine-village only 12km from Béziers.
The local village has a handful of places to eat, a small grocery store as well as wineries as this area is covered with vineyards. There are further amenities in surrounding towns just a short drive away, as well as the city of Béziers. Local highlights include the Oppidum d'Ensérune, a 10-minute drive away, with its fascinating museum and wonderful views down to the impressive Étang de Montady.
The Canal du Midi is also just a short journey away; the marina in Colombiers (5km) is a pleasant place to have lunch or even hire a boat for a day out on the canal. The Canal du Midi also offers walking and cycling routes along its tow path, a great way to see the region.
Béziers (12km) is a hidden gem in southern France; a vibrant town known for its excellent wines and a long history associated with bull-fighting. Look out for the 4-day long feria in August, the region’s biggest event when the town comes alive with festivities and bull-fights! At any time of year it’s a pleasant place to explore, visit the art galleries and the grand Romanesque cathedral or stroll by the Canal du Midi and Orb river. The food scene is particularly great from wine bars and bistros to Michelin starred restaurants.
Head west to the Minervois region and discover amazing walking trails through fields of olive groves, vineyards, wild gorges and spectacular landscapes. Explore delightful villages such as fortified Aigne (32km) with its incredible historic lanes, galleries and caves for wine-tasting or Minerve (38km), one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’ with its fascinating Cathar history.
Olargues (44km) and Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert (75km) are also two of Hérault’s classified ‘most beautiful villages in France’. Look out for the especially idyllic Gorges Heric (40km), near Olargues, where you can swim in rock pools. Closer to home, there is also wonderful scenery along the Orb river and you can hire canoes and kayaks in Cessenon-sur-Orb (15km) or Roquebrun (24km).
Pézenas (40km) is another delightful town, especially famous for its Saturday morning market. It’s a town filled with art, theatre and history and in July and August there are vibrant night markets on a Friday evening where you’ll find street food, live music and plenty of local wine.
The beaches of the Languedoc are also within easy reach. Valras-Plage (22km) is a traditional fishing village turned seaside resort with a bustling town, marina, 4km of sandy beaches and a variety of watersports. Further along the coast, beaches at Cap d'Agde (45km) and Marseillan Plage (50km) also offer plenty of family-friendly activities or head west towards the beaches of the Aude in Regional Natural Park of Narbonne, about 45 minutes away.
Also worthy of a visit are Narbonne (26km), Montpellier (80km) and the amazing Carcassonne (70km), a UNESCO World Heritage site.
