Laurens - Mediterranean and mediaeval
The village of Laurens, which is located in the central south of France, is a beautiful and tranquil example of a typical mediaeval village in this area. It lies amid the wonderfully evocative Mediterranean landscapes of the Hérault department, with its vineyards, olive trees and Cathar castles brooding on a dark and turbulent history.

Village amenities
Small it may be, but Laurens is not without its amenities, and you will find a clutch of useful and friendly shops and other facilities within the village itself, while other, larger towns and villages offer even greater possibilities and remain within easy reach. In Laurens expect to find a couple of boulangeries, a butcher, pharmacy, grocery store, a newsagent and even a café bar. The Cathar city of Béziers is only about twenty minutes away, so it is easy to meet all everyday needs in the locality as well as to take in a bit of history and culture!
