LOCATION DETAILS
This villa is set in an enviable location just a couple of minutes stroll from a beautiful Languedoc beach and within walking distance to a couple of beach restaurants open in the season (usually April to September but this can vary). In a residential area facing the sea, you only need to step out of your home, wander across a picturesque park and within less than 250m you’ll be stepping on the soft sand. This part of the coastline, arguably the finest in the Mediterranean, stretches several kilometres and there are lovely views towards the town of Sète and Mont St-Clair. You’ll also some beach restaurants including one which is extremely popular with locals and well as tourists, serving great food and wine and also has its own private part of the beach with sun loungers and umbrellas. Sète itself is an authentic fishing town full of character and only 5km away by car. Watch fishermen bring in the catch of the day at the harbour then enjoy dining in one of the wonderful fish restaurants. Explore the local streets and take a boat trip along the many canals. The town is also backed by the Étang de Thau, famous for its oysters that are found across the region. Also, head to Mont St-Clair for incredible views, the hill around which Sète lies. This is an area alive with activities. Nearby you will find tennis, horse-riding, go-karting, water parks, activity parks as well as magnificent wine tours of local châteaux. Golf lovers have a choice of courses in the Languedoc, including the brilliant Golf Cap d'Agde (22km) and there are plenty of marked walking and cycling trails. Adventurers will love the tree-top climbing centre near Montagnac at La Forêt d'Acrobates (36km), where you can enjoy amazing views from some of the courses as well as enjoy zip-wires, archery, canoeing, kayaking, climbing and caving. Events and festivities that typically take place in Sète includes the annual ‘Worldwide Music Festival’ in late June or early July (with some events taking place at the nearby beachside restaurant and along the beach), a traditional boats exhibition in mid-April and the Saint Louis Festival in mid-August with beachside festivities and jousting tournaments on the canal. The city of Montpellier makes for a brilliant day trip with its historic old town, pretty boutiques and excellent restaurants whilst other interesting towns and villages are within a short drive such as Mèze (25km), Pézenas (35km), Montagnac (40km) and Béziers (45km). Marseillan Plage (15km) and Cap d’Agade (23km) are other seaside resorts with plenty of watersports and activities nearby.  Other places worthy of a day trip include the magnificent fortified town of Carcassone (125km), the impressive Roman aquaduct at Pont du Gard (120km) and one of the most beautiful villages in France, Saint Guilhem le Désert (64km); all three of them are UNESCO World Heritage sites.
