We came in search of the scene in the brochure. The camera does not lie!! We have sampled the delights of Péret and the surrounding countryside, the hustle and bustle of Montpellier, the unusual coastline. But the memory which will linger on is of your charming French house in a friendly village in the Languedoc.
Just delightful, loved every minute of our stay. Great base to go off and explore this fantastic part of the country…. This stay will be remembered for ever, the people (very friendly), the drinks and dinner on the terrace with the birds and the views.
We especially
loved the light filled sitting room and roof terrace- the place feels really
homely and again has wonderful views. Another major plus was the village
boulangerie just up the road..fresh warm bread and croissants for breakfast.
We love Languedoc. So much to do - if you want to be busy but equally great for
lazy days by the lac, med, river pools or terrace!
Teenage daughters aged 14 and 16 were happy...............
