The Experience

This beautifully restored 14th-century townhouse has an irresistible sense of history, centred around its wide circular stone staircase. Step through the old doorway and move effortlessly from the character of the past into stylish, contemporary rooms filled with thoughtful touches. Two of the five en suite rooms are simple doubles; the other three are suites – one has a second bedroom, ideal for a family or small group.

Downstairs, a bright, informal kitchen and sitting room give guests somewhere sociable to gather, while the sun-splashed rooftop terrace, filled with geraniums and potted hibiscus, is the real heart of the house. Help yourself to homemade madeleines and fresh lemonade.

Adrian and François spent years reuniting two halves of a once-divided house, and it shows in every stylish detail. They chose the name because they want their guests to feel like royalty.

Reviews

A discreet 14th-century townhouse tucked away in a quiet, narrow street in the centre of Marseillan, a town set on the edge of the Étang de Thau. Le Prince has one of the most delightful and attentive owners I have come across. Adrian offers a generous breakfast, served on his sunny roof terrace, superbly comfortable rooms and a genuine enthusiasm that will surely make every guest's stay memorable.

Location

The neighbourhood

Tucked into a quiet, narrow street just around the corner from Marseillan’s market square, with shops and a boulangerie nearby. Walk to restaurants (try La Table D'Emilie or Delicatessen), the harbour and quayside in under 10 minutes, with boat trips, water sports and oyster tastings to enjoy. Explore Noilly Prat, local Picpoul vineyards and sandy beaches 15 minutes away by car.

Local points of interest from Adrian

  • Visit the first French vermouth house, Noilly Prat - a bicentennial vermouth house offering different activities - from a simple visit of the cellar to cocktail sessions, cinema nights, music & dance evenings - all in the harbour of Marseillan, 500m from us.
  • Discover L'Etang du Thau - a trip on the lagoon, either with a regular boat that offers a discovery trip and oysters tasting, or on a sail boat that can stop for a splash-splash, or on a speed boat, or simply on a paddle board. All options available.
  • Visit local architectural/ historical treasures like the Art Deco Château Laurens in Agde, the Valmagne Abbey near Mèze, the archeological site & museum of a Roman villa in Loupian, Adrian's gardens next to St. Thibéry.
  • Day trips to the nearby cities or remarkable authentic villages. The most noteworthy are Pézenas or Sète (20km), St. Guilhem-le-Désert (40km), Montpellier (40km), Aigues-Mortes (50km), Gruissan & Narbonne (60km).
  • Gastronomic experiences: from oysters & seafood tasting alongside the Thau lagoon (at Coqui Thau, La Ferme Marine or St. Barth) to wine tasting in the nearby vineyards (Paul Mas, St André, Les Yeuses) to olive oil tasting (Moulin de la Dentelle).
  • Dolphins spotting and/or fishing trips on the Mediterranean Sea - options available from Marseillan or Marseillan Plage.

Introducing

Adrian

Adrian, from Romania, and François, from France, worked all over Europe before swapping corporate careers for a slower life on the French coast. They bought this house shortly before the pandemic and restored it themselves. They run everything alone, with François baking and cooking and Adrian managing the day-to-day and greeting guests.
