Welcome to Le Lau
The house is located in Le Lau, a small and
authentic Southern France mountain village, 40 km from Beziers and
about 50 km from the Mediterranean.
The
village is placed in the Orb-valley, where the Orb-river
”cuts” through the massif Cevennes, only
an hour from Montpellier and one and a half from Carcassonne.
The Orb-valley is placed in the shade of the winds and has it’s
own micro-climate. In the neighbouring village, Roquebrun,
there is a Mimose-fête every year in February. The mountain ridge Caroux-Espinouse
has heights up to 1148 meter and consists of beautiful,
green, round mountains with sharp rock sides in between. The mountain
sides are
dominated
of chestnut and cedar trees and wine yards.
The drive up through the Orb-valley is picturesque and really
magnificent. The area offers a history of wine- and
chestnut production as well as mining with
extraction of magnesium, silver and gold. So
remember to look down when you are moving around in the territory
:-)
Le Lau is situated in the wine-appelation AOC
appelation St. Chinian, one of the 2 best in Coteaux du
Languedoc, so there are good possibilities to visit the area
and taste the splendid wine. The neighbouring village Roquebrun has a
well known wine brand. You can buy good wines in Roquebrun, but the
locals prefer wine from Berlou and the village St. Chinian.
