Home description

Delightful house in the heart of a charming Languedoc village. La Bastide is comfortable and welcoming and equipped to a very high standard.  It is perfect for people wanting to experience real French living. Stunning views. Lovely heated pool and enclosed garden.

La Bastide nestles in a tranquil corner but is only a couple of minutes away from the village square with friendly bar and shops. There is plenty to see and do in the area, but should you fancy a quiet day at the house and pool, everything you need is available in Maraussan.

It is the perfect spot to chill out with a locally produced aperitif on the terrace and enjoy the views over the terracotta tiled roofs and floodlit church spires.

About the location

La Bastide is situated in the heart of the charming, thriving, village of Maraussan, 5km from Beziers.  Maraussan has fabulous boulangeries, butchers, seafood stall, grocery, supermarket, newsagent, wine co-operative, florist and pharmacy.  The famous restaurant Parfums des Garrigues, is 3 minutes walk from the house. The village also boasts a good pizza place, a village bar, another excellent restaurant and regular pizza van.

Maraussan is also home of the renowned Chateau de Perdiguier.  You can arrange wine tastings at short notice.

Beziers has a wide range of shops, restaurants, bars, weekly markets and excellent food hall.  There are ferias and festivals throughout the summer.

The beaches of the Languedoc are much longer and sandier than  Provence's pebbly equivalents. The house is very close to two excellent beaches, Serignan and Portiragnes.  And even closer are Valras and Vendres which are good family beaches.

Other attractions are the Canal du Midi, nearby port of Marseillan, the beach resorts of Agde and Sete, the marshlands of the Camargue, the fascinating trail of the Cathars leading to Carcassonne and the elegant city of Montpelier with its' famous art gallery.  Just to name a few!

Celebrity chef, Rick Stein, cited this area as the "real France" in his recent TV series.  The area is full of extraordinary sights, foods and wines.  The house sits amongst one of the largest and most attractive wine growing areas in France.
