Green with vines and scented with Lavender, the Languedoc is an ancient and unspoilt region of blue skies and dramatic landscapes nestled along a 300 kilometre stretch of golden beaches from the Côte d'Azur past beautiful Narbonne to the Spanish border. The region basks in a perfect Mediterranean climate with over 300 days of sunshine annually and is easy to reach with six international airports within a two hour radius. Fast being discovered by holiday makers and property buyers alike the Languedoc offers tremendous diversity: sandy beaches, wooded mountains, ancient market towns and thriving fishing villages, vineyards of international renown, and a cuisine to revitalise even the most jaded palate. With fiestas and other local events taking place seemingly every other day, the vibrancy of the Languedoc life is tempered only by devotion to an unhurried pace of life that is quintessentially Mediterranean. There are several championship golf courses in the region, with horse-riding, tennis, fishing and white water rafting also available nearby. Beaches and water sports facilities can be found at Cap Leucate, while the magnificent ski resorts of the Pyrenees are less than two hours away.

Your vineyard The very essence of life in the Languedoc is the cultivation and enjoyment of "les produits du terroir" - the locally produced wine, olive oil, cheese, honey, vegetables and preserves. The wines of St. Laurent enjoy an increasingly impressive reputation, notably the local Cellier des Demoiselles, and the Chateau de Caraguilhes. As an owner, you receive a share in the ownership of the on-site vineyard and olive grove, so the heartbeat of the region becomes an intrinsic part of your experience. You will have the opportunity to participate in the centuries' old traditions of wine-making and olive pressing: harvesting, pressing, tasting. Imagine the satisfaction of relaxing on the terrace savouring a glass of your own wine, or sending a case back home to friends. All the advantages of being a vigneron without the hard work! The Olive Grove Beside the vineyard is a three-acre olive grove producing the venerable Lucques de Bize. Recognized by the connoisseur as the finest of all olives, this plump green fruit has a fine pulpy flesh with a delicate flavour of butter and hazelnut. Like the grapes of a fine vintage the 'green gold' is gathered by hand, for curing and pressing into the finest virgin oils, tapenades and table olives including the showpiece cold pressed oil Le Cuvée Spéciale. Medieval Gardens For centuries, the medieval Gardens have been a source of local produce and a retreat for relaxation and reflection for the local community. Each garden has been restored as a distinct space with its own unique atmosphere - a quiet place to read a book; a herb garden alive with the scent of lavender, thyme, and rosemary; a water garden; a private arboretum for morning yoga or a shady glade for a picnic with the children. The gardens also grow organic vegetables for the restaurant, and give children the chance to learn about cultivating natural foods.
