Between the Pyrenees, the Cévennes, the Corbières and the Mediterranean Sea, Languedoc-Roussillon is the perfect destination for travellers who enjoy exploring at a relaxed pace.
Every stop reveals something special: a Cistercian abbey hidden among the vineyards, a Cathar fortress perched on a rocky hill, a local farmers' market that puts supermarkets to shame, or a winery offering Saint-Chinian wine tastings with no reservation required.
Valras-Plage, just off the A9 motorway at Béziers-Ouest, is the ideal base for discovering the Hérault coastline by motorhome.
Béziers (20 minutes by bus)
Sérignan (9 minutes)
Pézenas (40 minutes)
The town of Molière, renowned for its elegant 17th-century mansions, antique markets and local artisan workshops.
Saint-Chinian & Minervois vineyards
Reach the renowned vineyards of Saint-Chinian and Minervois in around one hour. They can also be admired from the Bishops' Garden (Jardin des Évêques) in Béziers.
Cap d'Agde & the Thau Lagoon (30 minutes)
Discover France's unique volcanic seaside town, famous for its oyster farming and fresh oyster tastings directly from local producers.
Outside the peak summer season, museums can be visited without queues, the peaceful Orpellières Beach is wonderfully quiet, and the producers at Halles Marty have more time to share their passion and local products.
The P1 motorhome parking area is open all year round. Winter visitors will find electricity, service facilities and secure parking with no seasonal closure.
