This is a small, comfortable house in a small village. The house is suitable for 3 adults or a small family, don't try to pack in more people than that. The shared bathroom is quite small. The property manager ensures that you have everything you need including a well stocked kitchen (a definite plus after a long journey). The village is well located for touring the Languedoc region, the sea is not far away, interesting cities and smalller attractions are easily accessed from Caux. A nearby town, Pezenas, has most things that you may need. This is an economical vacation house that is comfortable and well located for touring the area.Recommended for: Sightseeing.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2011
About the owner: We are American owners living in the bay area; married with 3 sons in college. We love to travel and meet new people. We love to cook and enjoy the french cusine and let's not forget the delicious wine and cheese! The two of us are currently learning to speak French and we are members of Alliance Francaise in the Silicon Valley. The house fits into our future retirement plans allowing us the opportunity for more travel in neighboring countries.
Why the Owner Chose Pezenas:
Our house is located between Montpellier and Beziers in the Languedoc region. This area is becoming a popular and more affordable vacation destination with all it has to offer. The location is perfect for fun day trips or to navigate to other popular destinations within France or Europe. The TGV and good roads make it easy to travel and get around. This particular property has charm and old world character, and to us, is truely a gem. We are delighted to share Bijou de Soleil with you.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Quaint and historic Caux is an authentic french village where mainly French is spoken. The heart of the village is close by within steps to the (not one, but 2) boulangeries, which have some of the best croissants in the whole south of France! There is a patiserrie, butcher, green grocer and Pizza parlor, bar and cafe and more. There are several wineries and tasting rooms to sample the lovely wines of the region. Outside the village you are close enough to get to the bustling Pezenas, Beziers or Montpellier.
