Lovely 19C village house with 3 bedrooms

The village of Poilhes is one of several villages along the banks of the historic Canal du Midi. Picturesque, with a foot and road bridge, the canal was once an important traffic route from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic. Today it is used largely by pleasure craft and its towpaths are ideal for walking and cycling in the shade of the plane trees, which line the canal banks.

In the village are two restaurants, a café, a grocery store, post office and a number of mobile stores selling fresh produce visit on a daily basis. A large supermarket with petrol station is only 5 minutes away as is a larger village with a bank with cash machine, a twice weekly market, and other shops, cafes and restaurants.

Spain, Andorra and the Pyrenees are within easy reach and the area is surrounded with the vineyards of the Hérault.

Budget airlines fly regularly to Beziers, Montpellier, Perpignan, Carcassonne and Nimes, all within easy reach. The TGV goes to Béziers and Eurostar operates a non-stop service from Waterloo to Avignon in high season.
