PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Valros is a pretty village surrounded by miles of vineyards (wonderful walking, jogging, and biking country). The main square is shaded by ancient plane trees and there is an excellent general store providing everyday needs. The village also has a bar, a unisex hairdresser, a tabac, an hotel with restaurant, a boulangerie and loads of antique shops.

Nearby Pezenas was once the centre of French culture when the King came south and Molière played in one of the theatres. It is now full of antique shops, bookstores, restaurants, shops, as well as a large Saturday market, and supermarkets.



In another direction - the Mediterranean is 20 minutes away, with the fishing villages of Sete, Marseillan, and Meze, providing a host of fish restaurants. The beaches are clean, sandy and stretch for miles. Some are developed seaside towns, others offer vast stretches of uncrowded and undeveloped beaches.

The close access to the autoroute provides access to sights further afield such as Spain with the Dali museum in Figueras, or the cosmopolitan delights of museums, shops and nightlife at Montpellier.
