The Experience

In the heart of the village, you’re just steps away from fresh breakfast croissants and a café/bar for sundowners. Usually Autignac is a sleepy sort of place, but the square gets lively on market days (Thursday) and match days when you can sit back and people watch from your shady terrace or go down and soak up village life.

This 1850 winegrower’s house has been lovingly restored with high and airy rooms that invite you to relax. Find table tennis on the ground floor then up the winding, original staircase to a huge living room, comfortable with a wood-burner and sofas to stretch out on, a bedroom on this level, then three more up a floor. The four bedrooms share two generous bathrooms.

Visit hilltop Béziers (20 minutes) or smart Pézenas (30 minutes) for cafés, restaurants and markets. Portiragnes beach (30 minutes) has heaps of waterfront restaurants, or you can cook a feast in the smart kitchen and eat under starry skies.

Reviews

A big, relaxed place with delightful, intelligent owners whose easy personality is stamped on the house : all you need but nothing glitzy, nothing superfluous. Comfortable furniture, fittingly worn but in no way scruffy, new bedding in light, uncluttered bedrooms, good bathrooms. The village has a bakery, café and grocery: you need never leave. Pézenas Saturday market is "the best in Occitanie."

Location

The neighbourhood

You're in prime wine-growing area with plenty of vineyards to tour, you can be at the coast in half an hour or so, and just 20km north of Béziers you'll find the Montagne Noir, a wild mountain range packed with forests, vineyards, olive groves and panoramic views from its highest peak. Try Château Saint Pierre de Serjac (a five-minute drive) for a slap-up meal and Pézenas for a super Saturday market.

Local points of interest from Sarah Croome

  • A general store, "Docks Meridionaux", was run from this house from the turn of the century, and the painted entrance sign is still visible above the front door.
  • Nearby Béziers is more than 2,600 years old and has a fascinating and turbulent history, steeped in blood and wine! Explore the spectacular Gothic cathedral, and the beautifully restored neo-Classical buildings of the Allées Paul Riquet and the Théatre.
  • The wondrous nine locks of the Fonseranes on the nearby Canal du Midi, completed in 1697, enabled boats to be raised 22m, and goods to be transported as far as Paris. Explore by boat or cycle the purpose built canal 'piste' spotting egrets and grey herons.
  • Visit 4000 year old St Thibéry, on the Via Domitia and an old pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela. A pretty village with a café, it also boasts (quietly) an Abbey, a C13th mill and a C5th fort. For good measure it throws in a volcano, albeit extinct.
  • The sandy beaches of the Hérault are vast and golden with backdrops of grasses and scented wild herbs. Well-managed, blue flagged and spotlessly clean, at Portiragnes Ouest you can park adjacent and stroll through the protected dune system. Enjoy!
  • No visit is ever complete without a trip to glorious Pézenas. Buy your supper at the superb food market on a Saturday morning, lose yourself in its labyrinthine medieval streets, and admire its ornate classical mansions, testament to a C16th golden age.

Introducing

Sarah Croome

After many happy years touring France, Nick (a furniture designer) and Sarah (a sociolinguist) bought this 19th-century winegrower's house tucked between the mountains and the sea. Their restoration has turned a historic building into a tranquil retreat which they visit as often as they can from their home in Gloucestershire. You'll be let in by the housekeeper or caretaker and be self-sufficient.
