Roussillon

In the department of Vaucluse, in the Luberon area, you will find the famous but small village of Roussillon, which has only a thousand inhabitants. It is quite rightly described as one of the most beautiful villages in France. The wealth of ochre ensures that you are surrounded almost everywhere by beautiful yellow-orange shades. In Roussillon, you will enjoy the exceptional nature and the unique views that go with it. If you are renting a villa in the Languedoc-Roussillon, don't miss Roussillon! You can also visit the old ochre quarries or the Eglise Saint-Michel. Let yourself be seduced by the stories of the villagers over a delicious glass of pastis and marvel at the local handicrafts in the friendly shops.

Cap d’Agde

You really don't have to be a naturist to have a good time in Cap d'Agde. Renting a holiday home in Cap d'Agde is something you won't regret. This friendly seaside resort near Montpellier and Béziers may be known for its most visited naturist area in the world, but there are plenty of other attractions to fill your days.

Young people in particular will enjoy the adventure park Agde Avonture or the water theme park Aqualand. You should also visit the beautiful Aquarium, the Musée Ephebe and the picturesque little port with its many trendy restaurants and bars.

Montpellier

This centuries-old university town is really bubbling with life! One in five of the inhabitants of Montpellier is a student, which keeps the city young and innovative. Visit its numerous gems of churches, palaces, mansions, monasteries and monuments... you will easily spend a few days here! Make sure to visit the Place de la Comédie, the Tour de la Babote, the Chateau Mogere and the Aqueduct of Saint-Clément.

You guessed it...you will definitely come back here.

Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert

Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert...how beautiful can a name sound? Well, in this case the name really does honour the village. This monastery village that was founded in the ninth century has an eventful history, especially of a religious nature. You should definitely go here to visit the remains of the old monastery and the cosy narrow streets full of local trinkets. The central square, the Place de Liberté, is pretty much the heart of the village from where you can take lovely walks. 

Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert is - quite rightly - called one of the most beautiful villages in France. Definitely worth a diversion, even if you rent a holiday home in Provence!

Pézenas

Spoiler alert! You could lose your heart here...

Pézenas is an absolutely amazing place in the Hérault department. The town used to be home to writers and artists of all kinds, including Molière, who was close friends with 'Louis Quatorze'. That artist vibe is still very much present in Pezenas today and creates a lovely relaxed atmosphere. It is so pleasant that you would almost consider living here. The location of Pezenas is also ideal; the beach of Valras is half an hour's drive and larger cities such as Montpellier are also nearby. All the way there!
