Boasting Medieval fortresses, Roman aqueducts, Mediterranean coastline, endless vineyards and expansive national parks, a visitor could spend a lifetime exploring sunny Languedoc-Rousillon. Sitting on the geographic divide between the Iberian peninsula and mainland Europe, the regions towns and cities, including beautiful Carcassonne, Nimes and Montpellier, are connected by paths both ancient and new. Hike Via Domitia, a Roman road, or rent a barge for a trip down the Canal du Midi.

This resort is situated along the Canal du Midi, which has been classified by Unesco as a Word Heritage site, and is next to Homps; a magnificent small typical Languedoc village. The Jouarres Lake is a paradise for water sports or a tranquil place to relax. Here you'll find everything that makes it possible to enjoy a high quality holiday in a rare and authentic place. The residence proposes 2, 3, 4, 5 room villas as well as villas with a private swimming pool. Reception, 2 swimming pools of approximately 150m², laundry, fitness room, hammam, whirlpool, 2 tennis courts, beach-volley, mini-golf, games room, table tennis, play area for children, sports ground, "petanque" area, bar and minimarket. This place is ideally located to visit this unique land, the Minervois, the Cathar country, its cellars and wine domains.
This place could have so easily ended up with 4 stars on this review. With just a few tweaks and a bit more customer service it would have been so different. We only stayed 2 nights as a stopover. That was enough to be honest. The customer service and staff were terrible. We had a few issues during the 2 days and there was nobody around to help. The reception was closed most of the time apart from check-in and check-out. You couldn't actually get near reception during these times because it was so busy. So you had no point of contact. I called the emergency numbers provided and got no answer and I emailed them 4 times and still got no response whatsoever. 5 days later I'm still waiting for the office to call me. Our check in took 1hr 30 minutes and we were near the front of the queue. People were waiting hours in 35 degree heat, no shade, no water and no info provided. There were only 2 people on reception to deal with about 40 check-ins and they were slow and disorganised. We never found the shop, bar and restaurant and never got an answer on where they actually were. There were no staff at the pool as stated and it was quite crowded, even with the site fairly empty. The apartment was ok. No oven or washing machine and no air con. It was way too hot to sleep in there. We would have liked to have been able to open the patio doors but we had a dog with us and they put us in an apartment with no fence or enclosed area so we couldn't open the doors or the dog would get out. Really disappointing. There were loads of apartments with enclosed gardens so not sure why we weren't in one of those. If you could get hold of someone then maybe you could find out the answer to that. By the time we got checked in and spent ages looking for the restaurant it was getting late. The kids hadn't eaten so we walked in to the town but every thing was closing and it was only 9.15pm. There was no shop on site to buy food so we had to drive 20 minutes to McDonald's to get some food. Not ideal and not what we wanted in such a romantic, idyllic setting. The area itself was really nice. Restaurants overpriced like in most of France but the setting was fantastic. The lake was great and the kids swam in there. Not a great deal to do to be honest and very basic facilities at the actual site. All of the positives and things to do were actually outside the site. Would definitely go back to that area but would stay somewhere else. Could have been so much better and fairly easily improved. Wouldn't go back as the severe lack of customer service would worry me if there were major problems.

Everything was perfect! Eric is very kind and helpful. The accommodation is very clean, modern, quiet, well equipped and offers a lot of privacy. The garden is beautiful, the pool is very clean and kept up very well. We enjoyed our stay with our dog. The accommodation is very close to Sommieres and on walking distance to the supermarket. Next time we need to stay longer!

Eloi Merle is a chambre d'hote with 5 en-suite bedrooms available to book within the main house plus an additional 5 self catering one bedroom gites (ideal for couples) located in our private gardens with swimming pool, jacuzzi and several seating areas to relax in.
We have stayed with Paul and Chris at Éloi Merle on three occasions and can’t recommend them highly enough. They go out of their way to help or assist and offer a fantastic hospitality service. All their recommendations for restaurants, beaches and other places to visit have been great. After a day out, coming back to the tranquil environment at Éloi Merle is always a treat. We very much look forward to staying again soon.

Well situated just off the autoroute. Delightfully appointed, spacious, quiet, and very comfortable. Importantly, very convenient for Jerome Nutile’s restaurants! Also particularly good value, even if factoring in one of the best breakfasts ever!

Simple very fresh food. The hosts are very helpful. They found me an extra pillow for the night as I like two. Highly recommended.

Lozere is the ideal region for all those who want to relax in a still very preserved nature. The newly renovated house is very well located, just minutes from the exit of the motorway (exit 40 (gorges du Tarn) on the A75, called the Meridian). It is close to shops, and a few minutes from the cente As for the house itself, you will like its large functional kitchen, its dining room and its wide convivial table, its comfortable and cozy living room, its large garden side terrace, the warm atmosphere of its loggia to prolong the evening. 'summer. Located in the middle of a large garden where you can rest, you will appreciate the charm of its pond covered with water lilies, its goldfish, the small arbor shaded and discreet. And of course, its large swimming pool of 10 m by 5, with a wide beach welcoming many loungers. And the large rear terrace will welcome you to fully enjoy the view and tranquility of the garden. -Private parking for cars. -Closed garage for motorcycles/bicycles
Sylvie is a wonderful warm hostess. Her B & B is lovely. She was kind enough to book us a wonderful table at a restaurant called Buron du Che in which we had great lunch. It was a lovely base for our day tripping to Florac and Mende. Nothing was too much for Sylvie and she went out of her way to make us feel right at home. Highly recommended.

Beautiful room in the classical French style. Wonderful hospitality from both Yves and Rosa. Our only slight criticism was that we could not use the bath which we had been looking forward to after our 70km walk along the Canal du Midi. That said, the shower was great.

My friend and I rented both one bedroom apartments in this wonderful row house just off the main square. The front apartment is a little more stylish with a modern bathroom and the back apartment has a large traditional eat-in kitchen. Both are lovely in their own way. The owner is lovely and very helpful. There is no A/C but the fan in the bedroom keeps it comfortable with the thick stone walls.
