    The house is in a beautiful wine-making village in the South of France, near the historic city of Beziers, with spectacular scenery, great food, excellent wines and breath-taking walks. Canoeing, cycling, river swimming and beaches are within reach. Great place to spend time, learn about local culture and practise your French.

    Cheap car rental available in a local supermarket, we'll help with the paperwork as proof of local residency is required. We'll provide food and wine, and bikes.

    The village is surrounded by hills and vineyards, with spectacular views all around. There are tennis courts and a wine shop of the local Cave Cooperative (one of the best producers of St Chinian AOC wines). There's also a gastronomic restaurant and a bar, which sells bread & croissants and is open for drinks every night, and for lunch and dinner at weekends.
