Roquebrun
Roquebrun is in the Hérault department of Occitanie (Languedoc-Roussillon), about 30km inland from Béziers, which has an international airport and train station.
Roquebrun is a charming village with old, winding streets and original stone houses, beautifully situated on the River Orb. It is known for its microclimate and its lush, mature and well-visited Mediterranean garden, which have led to its nickname 'Le Petit Nice'.
At the very top of Roquebrun stands La Tour de Guet, an 11th Century Carolingian watchtower, once a grand lookout castle protecting the village but now a solitary tower with stunning views across the Orb river and valley.
The small weekly market is on the Esplanade, where boules are played and the village fetes are held.
Canoe trips may be booked at the local canoe centre near the village beach, in both directions on the river Orb.
Roquebrun is renowned in the area for its wines, due to the rich soil and microclimate – locals claim the mineral-rich soil enables the grapes to ripen even at night! It has a well-known award-winning Cave Co-operative, as well as other excellent independent wine producers in the village and surroundings.
The “Fete de la Mimosa” (The Mimosa Festival) takes place every year in the village in mid-February, which is a beautiful time to visit and see the bright colours of the trees in bloom, as is the grape harvest in September with the autumn colours, when temperatures still reach 25°.
