  Description

  Looking for last-minute availability from Mid March - 25th March and for May 2024
  
  My Husband (Simon) is English and I am originally from South Africa. We moved to France 14 years ago. My husband is an illustrator and I am a graphic designer/chef. We live and work in a smallish village close to Béziers with our Springer Spaniel Millie who loves walks in the vineyards.
  
  The village has a bar/restaurant and some small local village shops as well as a couple of wineries. In the summer there is a large meal held in the village square with music and dancing. A very French affair.
  
  We also run painting holidays from our village in June and September every year.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  You will get to stay in a typical French wine-making village. We can help with recommendations of what to see and do in the area to add value to your trip. I'm passionate about food, local wine, and history, so ask away if you want to know more about what this area has to offer. We also have a full art studio and equipment at your disposal if this is something that you are interested in.
