From Mediterranean beaches to the Cévennes mountains, Hérault is a diverse department in France. Part of the Languedoc-Roussillon region, Hérault is home to the popular city of Montpellier, the caves of Clamouse and Demoiselles, and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Canal du Midi. Other favourite locations in this section of the South of France include Le Cap D'Agde (part of which has a nudist resort), Sète, La Grande-Motte and Lattes. There’s plenty to do when you go on holiday in Hérault apart from sunbathing. Take a trip back in time in one of France’s oldest cities Béziers, visit the dolomitic limestone outcrop called the Cirque de Mourèze at the edge of that beautiful village, or take a trip to Roquebrun at the National Park of the High Languedoc.

Where to stay in Hérault

Hérault with the family
Take a trip to Hérault on a family holiday and your kids will have a great time. If you’re a family that loves to get outdoors, you’ll enjoy kayaking on the Hérault River, or cruising along the Canal du Midi. You can also cycle along the towpath or go for long walks if you prefer two legs to two wheels. There are plenty of sandy beaches where you can all build sandcastles and splash in the Mediterranean Sea, and when you want to give the children a cultural experience, you’ll find concert halls in Montpellier and fascinating outcrops in Cirque de Mourèze. Relax back at your holiday rental for the family at the end of every fun-filled day.
