Delightful and spacious Languedoc holiday villa on the edge of a picturesque and sleepy village with its own château. Stroll into the village for an evening meal and enjoy the spacious grounds this villa boasts

Margon is a cool and unpretentious holiday villa in a great location for touring the surrounding Languedocienne sites. Tiled floors and large comfy sofas in the air conditioned first floor lead out to a spacious balcony overlooking the pool for outdoor dining. Décor is simple yet contemporary and stylish. The ground floor rooms, whilst not air conditioned, are cool and a further living area leads out to the 2800m² extensive garden which will delight both children and pet dogs who are welcome at this property. In the grounds there are two or three different shaded spots to relax, as well as fruit trees to engage your taste buds and cypresses that are typical of the region.

The village has its own château and a restaurant, which are within strolling distance. Close to the house is a patchwork maze of narrow lanes that wind between vineyards and medieval villages. Savour weekly markets and artisanal boutiques in the old, cobbled streets of Pézenas (12km) and visit the pretty village of Gignac (37km). Within 35 minutes, you can be in Mèze on the shores of the Étang de Thau which is one of Europe’s largest salt water lagoons separated from the sea by a thin strip of sand and dominated by the Mont St Clair peninsula. Mèze has a lovely atmosphere with seafood restaurants as well a beach. Also on these shores don't miss out on the opportunity to savour the renowned oysters of Bouzigues and mussels served fresh in the restaurants of the port of Sète (47km). For light hearted fun head to the Aqualand park at Cap d’Agde which is a 40 minute drive whilst long sandy beaches can be found at Marseillan Plage (41km). Montpellier (74km) is a day trip out and sure to inspire; medieval streets ideal for shopping and new infrastructure combining natural spaces and cutting-edge buildings designed by international architects feature prominently in the centre alongside a new modern tram system.

  • Please note that there is a local tourist tax to pay: £2.45 (2024) £1.05 (2025) per night for guests aged 18 and over.

Great Things to Do Near Margon

Discover Pézenas

Take a leisurely stroll around your local town, an utterly charming place with much of historic interest, and a lovely atmosphere thanks in part to its antiques and arty shops. Stop for a drink or lunch in one of the many cafés and restaurants.

Taste the local wines

In such a key wine-growing area, it would be almost a crime not to sample some Languedoc wines during your visit! You can even take a vineyard tour to see a little behind the scenes and meet the vintners.

Walking and cycling

Bike hire is available in Pézenas and there is plenty of opportunity for cycling as well as walking in the surrounding countryside, which is characterised by rows of vines. Families will find easy-going routes suitable for all ages alongside the Canal du Midi.

Market day

Every Saturday morning, local traders set up their stalls in Pézenas for the large weekly market, a riot of colour and activity. Browse the wares, taste some regional specialities, and buy fresh produce for your meals back at the villa.

Visit Narbonne

Take a day trip to this attractive and interesting city which was once a seaport but now lies about 15km inland due to centuries of silt pushing the shoreline out. However, the Canal de la Robine offers a pleasant waterside setting for a stroll. After working up an appetite, the large covered marketplace, Les Halles, is a great place for soaking up the atmosphere whilst sampling some tasty morsels. In the afternoon, take in the sights which include a partially built cathedral, the medieval bishop’s palace with museum and art gallery, and the Horreum, a Roman underground warehouse.

If you have a taste for adventure...

Perhaps particularly to keep your older children and teenagers entertained, but anyone with a taste for adventure can head for the Gout d'Aventure activity centre about 12km east of Pézenas. They offer archery sessions, a ‘Go Ape’ style treetop obstacle course with rope bridges etc. and more adventurous sports such as canyoning, canoeing, rafting, mountain biking, via ferrata, climbing and caving.
 

Day at the beach

With its 6km of fine sand, family-friendly Marseillan-Plage can be reached within half an hour. Just along the coast, Agde is a pretty town and popular seaside resort with several beaches, and also a large water park which might be a draw especially for the younger members of your party!

Water sports

... can be enjoyed on the coast at Cap d'Agde (sailing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, stand-up paddling, canoeing, kayaking, jet-skiing and rubber ring tow rides) or on the lake at Marseillan (canoeing & kayaking, boat hire).

The harbour town of Sète

Head down to Sète, where an authentic fishing village feel prevails. Unusually perched on a narrow strip of land between a large enclosed lagoon and the wide Mediterranean, with a canal between the two passing through the town, there seems to be water everywhere you look! Unsurprisingly therefore it is nicknamed the 'Venice of the Languedoc'. Drawbridges and swing bridges cross the canalways which are lined by colourful buildings, and it is fascinating to watch the comings and goings of the brightly painted boats around the fishing port and the pleasure craft in the marina. Maritime traditions have survived here, and a famous sailing festival is held in April, called Escale à Sète.

Birdwatching

The Etang du Bagnas is a small but lovely lake nature reserve which is good for birdwatching. There are limited routes accessible on foot or by bike through the reserve, or you can stop at the viewpoint just outside of Marseillan Ville.


 

Get to know Molière

Pézenas has a special connection to the playwright, Molière, who spent time here with his travelling theatre company. A festival celebrating his works is held every year in June. You will come across various mentions of Molière around the town, including his famous armchair which can be seen in the Vulliod Saint Germain museum.
