The village of Faugères
Faugères is a picturesque village in one of the prettiest areas of the Languedoc and makes for ideal holiday accommodation in the south of France. It is located within the Haut Languedoc Natural Park. Faugères is a historic village with walls and buildings still standing that date back to the 11th century. It is overlooked by the 16th century windmills, which have been restored. The village (population 350) is quiet and the people are friendly and welcoming. It has a good restaurant which has a well priced lunchtime menu. Last year Faugères produced 8 million litres of wine, so feel free to taste some at the local wineries. There are many small villages nearby with local markets on most days. It is less than 15 minutes to the nearby towns of Hérépian and Bédarieux which have all services and supermarkets. About 30 minutes away are the historic towns of Béziers and Pézenas and it is 40 minutes to the Mediterranean beaches. The house is easily reached from several UK airports. The closest airports are Béziers, Montpellier or Carcassonne.
The climate is warm and sunny for most of the year with approximately 300 days of sunshine. Summer temperatures are usually 25 - 30, occasionally reaching the mid 30's. Spring and autumn temperatures are generally in the 20's.
The house is in a beautiful situation on the edge of the old village, facing south. The vaulted ceilings and many windows give this small house a very light and spacious feeling inside. There are two bedrooms each with one double bed. If you are interested or have questions, please get in touch via the contacts page. We are sure that you will have an enjoyable and relaxing stay in this beautiful part of Southern France.
