Facilities
Chateau Du Capitaine is situated in the valley of the Herault in Languedoc-Roussillon, ideally placed close to the historic town of Pezenas and within half an hour of Beziers and the beaches of the Mediterranean Sea.
Pezenas, the town of Moliere, offers you a great choice of boutiques, restaurants, cafes, craft shops, as well as, on every Saturday morning, its grand market which is known to be one of the best in the region. In high season, twice weekly, all the small shops stay open until midnight and look out for Friday evening night markets with food, wine and music in July and August.
Close by, there is a wealth of little wine villages as well as beautiful local vineyards - after all, this is the Languedoc wine region and in the autumn you can sometimes hear the distant sound of farmers harvesting their grapes from the chateau. Keen walkers can follow trails through the garrigue, admiring the glorious landscapes of the Languedoc countryside, whilst there are cycling and horse-riding opportunities too.
Head to the Etang de Thau for a boat trip out to the Bouzigues oyster beds or simply enjoy them with a chilled glass of white wine in an atmospheric cafe in Meze, a picturesque town which is worthy of a visit with its narrow lanes and fishing ports – travel on a Sunday morning to experience the vibrant market!
The long stretches of sandy coastline around Plage de Vias are around a 20-minute drive away or head a little further to Agde with its blue-flagged beaches and wealth of summer activities such as watersports, ball games and amusement parks. The pine forests and coastline around La Tamarissiere are especially beautiful and wonderful for nature lovers.
Other attractions across the area include the Canal du Midi, fantastic for boat lovers and cyclists, the Lac du Salagou with its lakeside watersports and hiking trails as well as the exciting city of Beziers. Sete is another brilliant place to explore with its canals and seaside setting.
Further afield, spend the day in Carcassonne, just over 100km away, or visit other UNESCO World Heritage sites such as Saint-Guilhem-le-Desert, Nimes' Roman remains and the incredible Pont du Gard.
