You can easily visit the castles of the ‘Cathars’ at a 2 hours drive distance (Peyrepéthuse, Quéribus).
The splendid city of Carcassonne is only a 50 min. drive away.
 
At about 20 kilometres, you can visit the artificial lake of ‘Salagou’ with the volcanic hills surrounding it.
Salagou is a non-touristical but extremely beautiful site where no speedboats or engines are allowed.
A little further away, you can visit the splendour of the ‘Cirque de Mourèze’ which is an impressive rock formation where you can walk around for many hours.
 
The Mediterranean is at a 45 min. drive. Valras-Plage is a small and typical French ‘coast’ village where your children can play on the beach and where you can enjoy a cold drink or an ice cream in one of the numerous bars.
 
Each Saturday, there is a market in Pézénas, in the direction of Cap d'Agde, that shows the real flavour of France. Pézénas, where the famous French writer Molière lived shortly, is a touristical city but is really worth visiting. There are a lot of typical ‘art’ shops that are worth visiting.
