About Herault

In the heart of the gorgeous Languedoc, the Hérault department is characterised by its surprisingly varied landscapes: stony villages peppering the foothills of the mountains, pretty seaside towns and historic cities surrounded by the lush vineyards of the Hérault Valley. Brilliant for culture buffs as well as outdoorsy types, the area has become a hugely popular holiday destination, offering a wide range of accommodation options for guests of all ages and tastes. Our collection of the best places to stay in Hérault includes farmhouse B&Bs, converted hôtels particuliers, luxurious châteaux escapes and more.

Close to the coast, vibrant Montpellier is a wonderful starting point for discovering the region. The imposing Gothic cathedral, fantastic Musée Fabre and plethora of boutiques and restaurants make this a very rewarding city to explore. Like nearby Béziers — another Hérault highlight — it’s also appealingly close to the coast. If you’re dreaming of a restorative Mediterranean break, look to the Cape d'Agde or Mèze, set on the Etang de Thau.

For excellent hiking, mountain biking and horse riding, base yourself further inland, near Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, famed for its ancient abbey, or in Lodève. The mountainous Regional Natural Park of the Haut-Languedoc offers dazzling landscapes and ample opportunities for adventure — including spotting some of the area’s 240 bird species. The best places to stay in Hérault promise delicious regional cuisine, refreshing swimming pools, inviting guest rooms and marvellous views.
