The Apartments

Each apartment comprises a full sized double bedroom and a salon containing a comfortable full size double sofa-bed. Importantly, both the salon and the bedroom have independent access both to the terrace and to the vestibule (which offers plenty of hanging and storage space) and from there into either the kitchen or the shower room/WC. So each apartment offers two couples the opportunity to come and go as they please without disturbing each other!

Of course, if you are a very large party and wish to rent the whole complex of all three apartments - giving you a total of six double bedrooms - we would be able to offer a discount on the normal price, even in high season.

Our guest accommodation comprises just four double suites finished to the highest standards, each with its own south facing terrace. And with the owners on site every day of your stay, you are assured of a high level of personal service because you are one of only a maximum of eight guests at any one time. But the accommodation is supplemented with facilities which you would normally associate with only the best and largest hydrotherapy centres and hotels. We have a 10 metre swimming pool, a hammam and a treatment centre where our resident physiotherapist – formerly one of the most celebrated in Paris – offers both traditional and the latest techniques.

The Town

The centre of Clermont l'Herault is a typical Languedocienne medieval hill town overlooked by the ruins of its XI th century castle. The splendid XII th century church faces the large shaded market place where every Wednesday over a hundred vendors set out their stalls abounding with local produce.

Les Jardins de la Source is situated less than a hundred yards away, just off the main boulevard which widens into the XVIII th century main square with a profusion of shops, and cafes and restaurants with traditional interiors and tables outside for al fresco dining.

The modern part of the town, still within easy reach, contains several large hypermarkets for your more basic needs. A public sports complex with a large outdoor swimming pool, ideal for a visit with the children on a hot day, is within walking distance of the house, as is the cinema. The local wine collective is also a short walk: you can taste the various wines before buying!

Traffic is never a problem in such a small town, and within a few minutes you can be at the Lac du Salagou where you can swim, sail, or indulge in other watersports.

The surrounding area contains a large number of picturesque villages, like the famous St Guilhem le Desert, or you can start to drive up into the high Cevennes within a few miles - or even walk if you are feeling energetic! Next to St Guilhem is the stunning grotto, Grotte de Clamouse, a real underground adventure should you tire of being in all that sunshine at any time. And of course the new motorway (A75) takes you speeding either northwards to the spectacular new Norman Foster bridge at Millau, around 70 miles away, or southwards, almost all the way to the sea, only 25 miles away, to the celebrated Cap d'Agde (which contains a naturist colony) or to one of the quieter local beaches. On the way home, stop for a drink in Pezenas, with its imposing XVI th century squares and streets, where Moliere spent much of his life and wrote many of his works. All in all we think you'll fall in love with this region, as we have.
