Holiday villa,near pezenas, herault , in languedoc, south of france

Bouzigues.home of the oyster!

  If you have not visited this region of France before you have something very special to look forward to! Situated on the plain between the Mediterranean and the mountains there really is something for all members of your family to enjoy  being spectacular in both its countryside and traditions. Aumes is only 5 minutes from the wonderful market town of Pezenas, for many years in the 17th Century the centre of government for the Languedoc Roussillon. Only 20 minutes away are the sandy Blue Flag beaches of the Mediterranean. In the hills behind are the famous grottos of Clamouse and Demoisselles. Saint Guilham le Desert, which is one of   
Marsanne, photographed below, is also in Aumes and has the same features as Carignan.
The houses are next door to each other, but completely separate. Each has a pool.

The houses are  situated in a quiet road in a village, with views over the countryside.

In each house there are four bedrooms, two doubles and two bedrooms with twin beds. The double bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms. All bedrooms open out over the pool. There are three bathrooms in total.

The farmhouse style kitchen has a large table and is equipped with dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, toaster etc. There are plenty of matching plates, glasses and cutlery!

The living room has UK satellite TV, DVD player with some DVDs; a  well stocked library and board games.

The Mediterranean garden is South facing, having  views over the countryside, and many colourful flowers.

Private heated pool 8m.x 4m. Alongside the pool is a shaded area for outside dining. This area one of the most popular  for relaxed evening meals, and in the shade during the day.The BBQ is nearby , grills and utensils are supplied.

Grocery store in Aumes, 1 minutes walk.

All amenities in beautiful Pézenas (5 min drive). Huge choice of pavement café bars and restaurants.

On a Saturday morning Pezenas hosts one of the finest markets in the area. Lively  and enjoyable we enjoy  buying vegetables, cheeses, bread and eggs from the producers, rather like a huge farmers market. There are also many summer  events to which visitors and locals are invited, making it a really memorable time.

Mediterranean beaches are only 25 minutes away, seafood restaurants line the quays. For the oyster and mussel lover it doesn’t get better, oysters out of the sea and a bottle of cold Picpoul wine.....simply wonderful!

 

the most picturesque of hillside towns, lies alongside the River Herault with canoes for hire by the hour. Not far away is the regional leisure park of Bessilles. Here you find wide open spaces for picnics and family walks in woodland. There is an adventure ropeway in the trees suitable for all ages and abilities...........really good fun.

Comments 2009.

We have been to France nine times now, and this house is by far the best. It is well equipped and we loved the garden and pool. Colin, Colette and Chloe. (Marsanne)

 

We all voted Carignan the best holiday house we have ever rented and believe me there have been a lot of them over the years. It is spacious and well equipped and the garden and pool are charming. Your care of plants makes the garden a delight to be in.As for the pool, being heated made it somewhere that we all wanted to be and to have fun and laughter. I will recommend your house to friends and who knows, we may well come back. (I hope so). Linda
