Our house is situated in the village of Caux, in the L'Herault region of France, part of the Languedoc/Rousillon. Caux is situated halfway between the forges of the River Herault and the beaches of the Mediterranean, both approx 30 mins by car.
Montpellier and the airport are approximately 50 mins by car. Caux is also accessible by the T.G.V. to Beziers. Pezenas is the nearest town, approximately 4 miles by car. Pezenas is noted for its 'Old Town' which houses many craft shops in the narrow alleys and excellent restaurants. It also has a large Saturday market, which fills the main streets.
Caux, itself, is an historic village in the Languedoc region, the centre of which dates back to medieval times. Our house is situated near the church, just off the village square. Unprepossessing from the outside but, we believe, rather special inside!
