| About
our region Superb location on
the edge of the historic village of Montpeyroux in
the heart of one of the finest wine growing regions,
close to Clermont l'Hérault and St
Guilhem le Desert.
The one bedroom Gîte adjoins a typical Mediterranean
style villa. It is self contained with its own
entrance and is available on a self catering basis to
non-smokers.
The owners are a hospitable retired English couple who
are there if you need them.
With
regret - no children nor pets.
A Place in
the Vines is located an easy 5 minute walk from
the centre of the historic village of Montpeyroux.
 Overlooked by the floodlit ruins of
Le Castellas, Montpeyroux has a
baker, butcher, general store,hairdresser, tabac, post
office, bar and bistro.
There is a Village market on Thursday
and Sunday mornings.
In addition there
is a Wine Co-operative and over a dozen independent
wine growers
Only a few minutes
drive away there is the Hérault Gorge - with
a small beach for swimmers, Grotte de Clamouse,
and the world heritage site of St Guilhem le
Desert.
Walking
Montpeyroux
is located at the foot of the Masif
Central in the Hérault, in a
region that is rich in history, culture and magnificent
scenery. Not only is our village located at the foot
of the Masif Central with Mont St Baudile towering above,
but we have put together an Information Pack which
includes very detailed notes on over 20 easy/strenuous
short/long walks/rambles. The notes are designed
for the very amateur walker to find their way around the
mountain paths and tracks without map-reading skills, but
also are useful for the more experienced rambler.
The historic and vibrant regional capital city of
Montpellier, with it's fine contrast of classic
and ultra modern architecture, theatres and museums is an
easy 35 minute drive away.
The Mediterranean Sea can be reached in
only 40 minutes. Here you can find restaurants along the
miles of sandy beaches and beside the Etang du
Thau that specialise in freshly-caught sea food
dishes.
The region is a paradise for artists and
ramblers.
At A Place in the Vines you can
choose whether to relax on the patio, in the pool or
discover one of France's best kept secrets...the beauty
of the Languedoc.
