About this property
Charming half-villa W pool, near Montpellier, Pezenas & coast.
Nestled in well-shaded, mature gardens, La Bergerie is located on the ground floor of a newly renovated old bergerie (shepherd's dwelling). Sleeping 4/5, this 2 bed property with full wheel-chair access composes of a large attractive and well-equipped kitchen/diner, a spacious, sunny lounge with books, games,toys, stereo, TV, DVD, sofa and sofa-bed , two bedrooms and a luxury bathroom with italian walk-in shower. A cot and highchair are available if necessary. Bed linen and towels are provided. Outside features include secure parking, guests dining area with BBQ and dining furniture. For youngsters there are swings, a slide and a netted trampoline. To the rear of the property is a secure pool with roman steps that is shared with the on-site owners, a retired couple. Pool inflatables and loungers are provided. A welcome pack makes sure you make the most of this beautiful region during your stay. La Bergerie is a stroll from the village restaurant,commerces and medieval centre.
Whatever your holiday dreams, the location of La Bergerie can fulfill them. Le Pouget is steeped in history. Its' medieval centre hosts an vibrant street festival of music, theatre, food and wine in mid-August. In the surrounding hills ancient ruins overlook the village and beside the children's farm there is an ancient Dolmen. The dinosaur museum at Mèze hosts many remains of dinosaurs and eggs found in the region but if that's going back a bit too far in history for you why not head up the nearby A 75 to the templar village of La Couvertoirade. Why not pass a Sunday morning at Mèze. ( 24km) Soak up the atmosphere of the lively market and then head back to a little port-side café and watch the world go by Then head off to nearby Bouzigues and take a guided tour of the oyster beds followed by a tasting. Or why not hire a boat at Agde and head-off down the Canal du Midi for an afternoon. For children there's funparks and amusements of Cap d'Agde. If this all a little too calm for you head off to the rapids in the gorges north of the historical and picturesque St Guilhem le Desert (16km).Or hire your watersports equipement at the Lac du Salagou ( 19km). Mountain bikes are also available to hire to explore the strange copper-coloured landscape that surrounds the lake. The historical market towns of Clermont L'herault ( 7km) and Pezenas are close-by (18km) the pottery village of St Jean de Fos now boasts a great museum and hosts a great pottery market every August. Late summer and early autumn the village is animated by the harvesting of the grapes.The heady odours waft over to the gîte and the village streets are stained red with the overspill of the convoy to the cave .Down at the cave you can witness the initial crushing of the grapes in enormous vats.The village is set in the midst of vineyards and the autumn foliage on the vines is a breathtaking mixture of red, yellow and orange.The village has many beautiful hilltop walks with panoramic views of the L'Hérault countryside. On the first two sundays of March the village hosts a magnificent carnaval with enormous, colourful floats pulled by the winegrower's tractors. Thanks to the village location of La Bergerie a taste of real french village life is on the doorstep. However due to its' calm setting in large gardens La Bergerie is also a haven of peace. Upon arrival at La Bergerie the on-sight owners will provide you with a welcome pack to make sure that you make the most of this beatiful, varied region. You are assured of privacy in your independant gîte but can be reassured that they are happy to help you with any of your queries such as babysitting services, doctors,etc. Bonnes vacances!

Great property in a lovely location that exceeded our expectations.
Our family had a wonderful holiday, weather was fantastic, location was excellent. So much to see and do in this remarkable area. Walking, canoeing, sightseeing aplenty. Food great but perhaps more expensive than we had first thought.
The property was excellent and we were well looked after by Pat Fentan and Michelle. The outside eating area and the BBQ were our favourites with evening meals not starting until after 8 o'clock and lasting until after 10! Beware the mossies though!!! The pool at the rear of the property kept the sun until nearly 9.00pm and was a very relaxing area with sunbeds, chairs and a handy table. The toilet and shower room was very modern and met our needs. There was ample space and the kitchen provided all you should need but perhaps a large bread knife and some larger glasses would noy have gone amiss.
Saturday market in Pezanas is verytraditional but the small artisan shops there are exceptional. Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert was another stand out destination but very busy at weekends, great place to book your canoe trips. Exceptional walks at Cirque de Navacelles and Cirque de Moureze but beware the late afternoon heat it easily got into the mid 40's.
I would definately go back.
Tres beau gite spacieux, confortable et bien équipé. La piscine est grande et tranquille. Le lieu est central pour decouvrir l’arriere pays de l’herault. Michelle la fille des propriétaires qui s’occupe du gite est tres sympathique. Nous avons passé un tres bon séjour
Nous avons passé d'agréables vacances. Merci à l'accueil chaleureux des propriétaires. Très bien situé, et la location ne manquait de rien. Nous avons des conseils pour les visites, super sympa. On a eu très chaud, heureusement la piscine est bien agréable.
Nous avons passé une semaine très agréable! à l'arrivée, nous avons été accueillis par Patricia qui parle exclusivement anglais (heureusement nous nous débrouillons un peu), sa fille Michelle parle bien français mais n'était pas là à ce moment. Logement très joli, fonctionnel et très propre. Place de parking privée près du logement, avec terrasse ombragée privée également. Le top! Nous avions un bébé de 6 mois, le lit et la chaise haute étaient fournis, pour changer la couche nous faisions ça sur notre lit ou sur la table de cuisine. Niveau PMR, la douche est bien adaptée, en revanche l'accès à la piscine se fait via un escalier en béton, pas forcément accessible en fauteuil. Piscine bien grande et bien entretenue, avec le petit plus: une bouée pour bébé! Nous y étions seuls à chaque fois. Le village est petit mais très joli, il y a tout ce qu'il faut. Pour finir, nous avons passé une semaine très agréable, dans un logement très sympa et des hôtes aux petits soins!
Des propriétaires charmants, une famille aux petits soins pour leurs hôtes. Je recommande vivement, pour ce gîte très agréable et bien placé géographiquement.
Un grand merci à la famille Lalor
The gite is positioned really well for exploring this spectacular region. Easy to get to the sea, the Canal du Midi and the medieval villages and gorges in the Cevennes. The house was spacious and lovely to come back to the pool after a long day. The kitchen was very well equipped, English TV was an undxprcted bonus and Pat and Fintan were so helpful.
Beautiful, restful property in a stunning location
We cannot recommend this property highly enough: the space, indoor and outdoor, the pool (a huge hit with our children) the sense of relaxation is immense, aided by the very pleasant contact with Pat, Fintan and Michelle. The area is stunning with so much to do and see, and Michelle was in hand with additional bits of information re: restaurants and events. Truly lovely, easygoing hosts, lovely chats, a lovely property in an outstandingly beautiful area. We lived everything about our two week stay and would LOVE to return.
Had a fabulous and relaxing stay at this lovely property. The owners can’t do more to make your stay enjoyable and are incredibly helpful. There is everything you could need in the property. We like to cook and the kitchen was very well equipped
There is so much to do in this area that I think we need to come back out of season when it is cooler to do some of the incredible walks and towns. Mèze and Marseillan Plage were great for the kids. Pézenas was a nice Friday evening out. Hiring a pedalo on Lac Salagou was also fantastic. The highlight was canoeing 14km down L’Herault on Michelle’s recommendation. It’s a fun ride, exhausting but so worth it. Rapids are pretty gentle - our 12 & 9 yr olds managed fine.
To come back to the property and relax in the lovely pool just made it perfect.
I really recommend both the property and the area for both couples and families.
Nous avons passé de magnifiques vacances. La location est plus que parfaite, tout y est et s'il vous manque quoi que ce soit les propriétaires seront toujours près à vous aider. ils sont formidables, d'une gentillesse sans mesure et toujours très discrets. La maison est exactement comme sur les photos, d'une propreté irréprochable et pourtant je suis très maniaque! C'est très calme mais en même temps vous êtes proches de tout pour les visites de la région.
La piscine est aussi très belle et bien entretenue, nos enfants ont adoré joué dedans.
Et n'oublions pas Nala, la chienne tout aussi adorable qui venait de temps en temps nous faire un coucou pour des caresses et une petite gourmandise.
Surtout n'hésitez pas, nous recommandons vivement cette location. Nous espérons pouvoir y retourner l'année prochaine.
We spent just over 6 weeks here with our dog. Pat, Fintan, Michelle and Charlotte were so friendly, kind and helpful throughout particularly when we had our little medical and car contretemps! The property itself was totally ideal for us and our dog and he enjoyed playing with the delightful Nala.
The position of the property in Le Pouget was ideal for visiting the area including Montpellier, Pezenas, At Guilhem le desert, Marseillan, Meze, Sete, Lac de Salagou.
The village is surrounded by lovely dog walks through and above the vineyards. Not to mention the violin playing and free concerts by Michelle!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back.
Many thanks to the Lalor family for a wonderful holiday.

Best hosts ever
Flat was terrific, everything you could think of was available
Pat, Fintan, Michelle and Charlotte were just too Good to be true.
We have had the best 14 days we have ever had in a holiday home. Labrador Nala came and scratched the door every morning when she noticed we were preparing breakfast and also when we prepared our other meals. She lovad sleeping on the cool floor in our flat and we loved her as well. Michelle played for us, Fintan cleaned the pool and arranged chairs, Potted germaniums and made everything look nice while Pat cooked for them all When Michelle was too busy givning lessons and concerts. And she took us out into the mountains to places we never would have found otherwise. We also went With the whole family to a concert by two americans, Ruth and Max Blomquist. A very, very enjoyable evening With lots of local french and english expats. Very, very nice! We hardly left the flat during the whole fortnight as it seemed a pity to leave such a calm and serene place. We Will gladly be back, should our health so admit.
We bought a record of Michelles singing and playing and its beautiful, have been playing it all day now on our way homewards bound. Lots of love to our fantastic host and hostesses. We love you all!❤️❤️❤️
Wir kamen nach einer längeren Reise an und wollten eigentlich zum Nachtessen auswärts gehen. Aber im Kühlschrank hatte es alles, was es für die ersten 24 Stunden brauchte, und daneben Spaghetti, eine gute Sauce und einen ausgezeichneten Wein.
So gut wie der Empfang war auch die weitere Betreuung. Und auch die Einrichtung ist perfekt. Alles ist vorhanden, alles funktioniert.
Die Wohnung ist viel besser als die bloss 2 Ähren von Gîte de France. Die Fotos lügen nicht.
Die Gegend ist auch in einem kalten Frühjahr interessant. Wir machten viele Ausflüge, besichtigten Städte, waren in einem Konzert und wanderten durch schöne Aussichtslagen.
Wir werden wiederkommen.
Can not say enough about how lovely our time was, from the moment we arrived to our departure the hospitality was amazing and the cottage itself has everything you could possibly need and maybe more, we can not wait to go back. A rare gem .

Entspannung pur in Le Pouget
Wir waren eine Woche im Ferienappartement der Familie Lalor. Alle sind sehr sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen. Das Appartement ist sehr sauber und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Im Pool kann man sich jederzeit erfrischen. In der Umgebung gibt es schöne Ausflugsziele.

Excellent, couldn't ask for more. Like home from home. Very friendly, clean, and comfortable
Owners were very friendly and helpful. They booked in advance for us a Christmas lunch at a lovely local restaurant. The place was very warm, and well equipped, including English TV, and DVD player. The bed was large and comfortable, and excellent large shower. We would definitely stay their again if in the area.

Restful, friendly, welcoming, fun, sincere.
We absolutely loved our 12 days at La Bergerie &, as the temperature when we arrived was something like 42C, we really appreciated the 10 metre pool where we spent a lot of time the first few days as had no energy in the extreme heat to do much else.
The pool is now far better shaded & tiled than appears in this accompanying picture and is a very comfortable place to spend the afternoon with a good book and a swim every half hour or so.
The gite itself is excellent with a very well equipped kitchen and a vital (for us) outdoor BBQ as we mostly ate outside in the evening when it was cool enough to do so. And very few, if any, mozzies! We got only a couple of minor bites whilst we were here despite me being usually a mozzie-magnet & an extreme reactor.
The bed was fabulous! Large and firm & although we had the fan on most nights as the temperature was high, we slept amazingly well - better than at home. Fan noise was a bit like sleeping on a plane with a background engine noise which is somehow lulling. The shower was also excellent. I dream of a shower as good as this in my own home.
We have stayed in this area 4 or 5 times now over the last 10 years (but not at La Bergerie before) & it never ceases to fascinate. Interesting cities like Montpellier, Narbonne, Sete, Agde, etc. within painless driving distance. Interesting towns like Meze, Clermont l'Herault, Pezenas nearby but also amazing geoligical formations. You can look them all up in your guide book. Pont de Diable is my favourite swimming as you can swim for kilometres down river very calmly. Lac de Salagou also amazing swimming but can get quite rough when windy.
Most of all, we appreciated the company of the Lalor family, Fintan, Pat, Michelle & Charlotte, who own this gite. We usually go for very private places with no contact with the owners but think the Lalors may have changed our minds on this! We very much enjoyed our conversations with them and the ease with which they accept total strangers into their lives.
EVEN IF, they didn't have their gorgeous dog Nala, the black Labrador, we would come back here. We can't have a dog ourselves so Nala was the perfect holiday dog. Never over-presumptuous but very interested, in a non-pushy way, in our evening BBQs. Well, OK, quite pushy when meat was involved.
I am sure we will be back.
