A toast to the start of the ‘fête’ season across France

Of course, the arrival of spring also brings a slew of local events in villages throughout France. One that we particularly love is Montpeyroux, a one-day annual event that celebrates the local Languedoc wines. With wine, music and local vignerons playing their part, it’s a terrific day out, and here we propose a toast to a trio of fine local properties…

Lovely, spacious three-bedroom double fronted house with pretty sea-blue shutters is situated in a popular village in the heart of the Languedoc vineyards. You could create a roof terrace to gaze down across them…

This property in Gignac in the Herault offers generous space and lots of opportunity.  With amazing vaulted ceilings and original features, it’s just waiting for someone to love it (and it’s only a little over £150k).

Can’t be bothered to renovate and just want to relax with the local wine? This is a beautifully restored former wine grower’s house with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, garden, pool, terrace and garage. Ready to move into…
