Hérault Vacation Rentals

The department of Hérault stretches from the mountains to the Mediterranean and attracts thousands of holidaymakers, especially in the summer months - without being overcrowded. With its long coastline and great harbour towns such as Montpellier, Sète or Agde, it offers numerous possibilities for a great holiday in a vacation rental or apartment. And if you are looking for something very special, how about your own chalet?

The department of Hérault is located in the south of France and stretches from the mountain massif in the north to the Mediterranean Sea. With a coastline of 87 kilometres and numerous ports, the Hérault department is famous for its tourism and wine growing. The capital is the student town of Montpellier, other important towns include Agde, Grontignan and Beziers.

Southwest of Sète, the Étang de Thau lagoon is a freshwater lake that was once fed by the sea but is now separated from it by a sandbank. Whether you want to relax here on one of the many wonderful sandy beaches, or rather take a ride on a boat across the waters, is of course up to you. And don't forget to try the excellent oysters grown here in the lake!

In contrast to many other French Mediterranean cities, Montpellier is comparatively "young" and was first mentioned in the 10th century. Around the old town there are numerous historic buildings that you can visit during a stroll: the cathedral Saint-Pierre or the tower of the former city fortification. In the afternoon you should secure a place in one of the street cafés by the "egg" - the egg-shaped Place de la Comedie, the unofficial centre of the city.

You can feel a little like Venice in the pretty little harbour town of Sète, because instead of picturesque alleys, the town is crossed by numerous canals. There are numerous great fish restaurants and exceptional boutiques where you are guaranteed to find exceptional souvenirs of your holiday at the vacation rental in Hérault. And the clean sandy beach, which is located in the southwest of the village, is not only one of the most beautiful in the area, but also one of the quietest.

You will find more than 9000 accommodations from numerous booking platforms in Hérault. These can be rented from 37 € per night. Many of the vacation rentals can be booked online right away, which is faster and easier than an enquiry to the landlord.
