Outside
Both the Maison de Maitre and the Vigneron open on to a courtyard, which is a morning suntrap where you can enjoy your coffee with views of the tower, and the spectacular 13th century Church in the square.

The rear garden includes a secluded swimming pool with a dining area with room for 10 – 15 people. There is a barbeque area with a sink, drink fridge, an outside shower and toilet and a hidden laundry drying section.  There is also additional parking via a separate entrance. At night, the church is lit and provides a stunning backdrop to the garden.

The area
Capestang is a small, friendly town in Herault / Landuedoc-Roussillion. There are three airports within an hour of the village – Montpellier, Carcasonne and Perpignan. There are sandy beaches just 20 minutes drive away, with excellent fish restaurants, and the fish market of Sete.

Capestang is on the Canal du Midi, and is surrounded by vineyards and woods, which makes it a wonderful area for walking, cycling or riding. The village has a market twice weekly, and there are many other markets in the area for both fresh produce and regional goods.

For history buffs, the village itself dates back to the 13th century. It is also close to the ancient walled city of Carcasonne and the Roman town of Narbonne, and the city of Perpignon.  If you want a complete change of culture, Spain is just 1 ½ hours drive away.
