Roquebrun

Facing south to the warmth of the Mediterranean sun, gateway to the Haut Languedoc Regional Park and at the heart of the St. Chinian vineyard appellation, Roquebrun is uniquely situated as a favourable year-round holiday destination.

Roquebrun is nestled in the foothills of the Caroux/Espinouse massif where the waters of the Orb river meet the tranquil landscape of the Mediterranean plain. Within a short distance the scenery changes from rugged mountains via the flat coastal plain of the Bas Languedoc to the sunny shores of the Mediterranean.

The village has a baker, small supermarket, café-bar, tabac, two restaurants, a pizzeria, wine co-operative, tourist office, post office and a few small winemakers, all conveniently situated within walking distance of Les Acacias.

The river Orb is a short stroll away for swimming or fishing. There is an esplanade for boules and a children's playground. Kayaks and canoes can be hired in the village during the summer months.

There are numerous walking and cycling trails around Roquebrun and the surrounding vineyards. There is a selection of walking and cycling maps and guides in the house for guest use.
