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.
