Enjoy your summer holidays in the Hérault area under the warm Mediterranean sun. Experience the South of France as a family, as a couple or among friends!

Summertime activities in southern France are a marvellous combination of taste, colour, nature, sunshine and of course the Mediterranean coast.
What is there to do in August? Discover the area based on your own tastes and interests.
With the colourful markets, the festive atmosphere, the cool shade of a bower and  a relaxing hammock, where else could you be but on holiday in the South of France!

Discover the South of France in summertime including its regions, its traditions and its many pleasures. Adopt the "Southern attitude"

An area synonymous with siestas, pétanque, long evenings and delicious grilled dishes.
Take advantage of the beach in the morning or evening, or bathe alongside the  Salagou Lake or the Raviège. Sample local products in the colourful local markets and share a picnic in the Hérault valley.
Get into the festive spirit including  Les Nuits d'O, the operetta festival in Lamalou les Bains, or the Radio France Festival in Montpellier.
Soak up the Southern atmosphere with the courses camarguaises and traditional bullfighting. Watch the water jousting in Sète, Mèze or Palavas les Flots.
Tuck into the generous cuisine of the Haut Languedoc area alongside the sea.
No stay would be complete without discovering the wines from the French Languedoc area. Here, pleasure is a universal language which can be experienced through countless traditional recipes or those of our chefs.
While you're here, be sure to sample traditional Mediterranean products such as olive oil, peaches or basil.
