Out and About

Pezenas is a very pretty, lively town, hosting a Festival of Arts and Music every summer from June to September. There are exhibitions and concerts, and many free outdoor performances ranging from clowns to flamenco dancers to classical music. There is an interesting local museum and an easily-followed numbered tour of the town can be made. The town is immensely proud of its connection with Molière, the 17th century dramatist. There is a market every Saturday, where you can stock up on everything from cheeses, through shellfish to curtains and clothes.

Horse-riding and golf are available nearby. The Leisure Park at Bessille offers acres of open countryside, picnic areas, children's play areas, a swimming pool and tennis courts. The magnificent Lac du Salagou provides bathing, wind-surfing, fishing and excellent hilly walks. The Mediterranean beaches are close by, ranging from a 7-mile long stretch of sand at Marseillan Plage to lively, cosmopolitan resorts like Cap d`Agde - where can also be found Europe`s largest naturist resort. The Herault River and thc Canal du Midi offer numerous opportunities for walking, swimming, fishing and boat trips.

Just 30 minutes drive from Pezenas is Beziers, a city with a turbulent past but now one of the jewels of the Midi. Apart from the extraordinary turreted Cathedral there are numerous sites to visit, art galleries, cinemas, a theatre, and of course dozens of restaurants and bars. In August there is the week-long 'Feria', when the whole of Beziers takes to the streets to celebrate. There is a market and a flower market every Friday, and a monthly antiques market. Villa St Vincent is well situated. It is 30 minutes from the Mediterranean, but far enough inland to avoid the crowds of July and August, the town is surrounded by countryside and waterways offering every opportunity for a 'get-away-from-it-all' holiday of peace and relaxation, whilst being within easy driving distance of lively towns and cities offering everything from street markets to classical concerts. You need never leave Pezenas, or you could pack your holiday with endless activities and excursions. The choice is yours!
