About this property
Bijou de Soleil- Jewel of the Sun (a holiday home near Pezenas)
Bijou de Soleil is a charming 400 yr old holiday home in the Herault in the heart of the Languedoc region. Located between Beziers and Montpellier and only 30 minutes from the coast, in the village of Caux, 7 km from Pezenas. It is nestled amongst the sun-drenched vineyards and the surrounding beautiful countryside – in the South of France. The real Mediterranean region! The Languedoc has on average, more than 300 sunny days per year. The Languedoc is also the largest wine producing region in the world.
Bijou de Soleil is a 3 level village house including a basement. It boasts character with its stone exterior, Provence blue shutters and wood door. It has been recently renovated. It has an updated American kitchen, tile floor and stairwell, open beams, Master King Bed and 2nd bedroom Queen Bed with wood floors, adjoining (Jack & Jill) bathroom with new shower and additional toilette facilities in the basement plus a washer and dryer and french iron bed.
UK TV is a bonus and we also provide unlimited WiFi internet connection as well as unlimited phone calls to
local French landlines, over 200 International landline destinations and mobiles in the US and Canada.
Sleeps 4 comfortably, but will accommodate 6 with a sofa sleeper in living room if needed, and an extra full sized bed in the basement. Comes fully furnished for your holiday! Basement will accommodate your sporting equipment, camping gear, bicycles, kayak, etc. with street access for easy in and out.
Best of all, this is a lock up and go-turn-key property, no maintenance, so you can enjoy every minute of your vacation experience. Perfect for a weekend get a way, vacation or extended long term let.
The quaint medieval village of Caux dates back in history. The spectacular 12th century church dominates the village and the bells can be heard throughout the day. Just like a dream, it trully feels like a step back in time. The house is ideally situated within easy walking distance to the local Boulangerie (the croissants are some of the best in the South of France!), Patisserie, Green Grocer, Butcher, Pharmacie, Pizzaria, Bar & Post Office. There is a weekly Friday street market with all the fresh produce just steps from the front door. And...Be sure to taste the local wines which are some of the best wines in France! Bijou de Soleil offers you a charming place to stay at affordable pricing. Great location for day trips and beaches. The area offers much for the outdoor enthusiast such as biking, hiking, kayaking, antiquing or just exploring the many historical sites and villages. Experience the culture and enjoy the french way of life! Whatever brings you to the South of France, welcome to Bijou de Soleil, relax, unwind, and enjoy your walk in the vineyards.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Michele Boling

We are American owners living in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Northern California; married with 3 adult sons. We love to travel and meet new people. We love to cook and enjoy the french cusine and let's not forget the delicious wine and cheese! The two of us are currently learning to speak French and we are members of Alliance Francaise in the Silicon Valley. We are both now retired and looking forward to more travels and new adventures both internationally and on the domestic home front.
Why they chose this property
Our house is located between Montpellier and Beziers in the Languedoc region and just a hop, skip and jump from neighboring Pezenas. This area is becoming a popular and more affordable vacation destination with all it has to offer. The location is perfect for fun day trips or to navigate to other popular destinations within France or Europe. The TGV and good roads make it easy to travel and get around. This particular property has charm and old world character, and to us, is truely a gem. We are delighted to share Bijou de Soleil with you.
What makes this property unique
Historic Caux is a quaint and authentic village where French is the main language spoken. The heart of the village is close by within steps to the (not one, but 2) boulangeries, which have some of the best croissants in the whole south of France! There is a patiserrie, butcher, green grocer and Pizza parlor, bar and cafe and more. There are several wineries and tasting rooms to sample the lovely wines of the region. Outside the village you are close enough to get to the bustling areas of Pezenas, Beziers or Montpellier. Don't forget to go to the open air market in Pezenas on Saturday mornings or, the local smaller market in Caux on Fridays.
Public parking is available a short walk from the house at the Panama Parking lot.
