A butchers, post office, newsagents, supermarket, fruit & vegetable merchant and of course several wine caves. There’s even a hairdressers and beauticians. There are two restaurants one of which is a Pizzeria (here you can also get a take away pizza).
There are also tennis courts available by the hour and if you fancy a game of Petagne there is a large bouledrome in the village.
The Canal du Midi runs along the edge of the village and is ideal for walking or cycling along the shady flat towpaths. You can also go on a boat trip along the canal or for those feeling more adventurous boats are available for hire.
Out and About
The attractive beach at Portiragnes plage is only 1.5 miles away and an easy cycle for the energetic. Here you will find cafes, bars and restaurants. Have a go at banana boating or just laze on the beach. There is a large market on Wednesday mornings well worth a visit.

Although there is a lot to see and do within walking or cycling distance from the villa it is still advisable to have a car as there are so many places worth visiting all around. There are a host of attractive beaches all along the coast.
On the way to Beziers (10 minutes by car) you will find great shopping at the hypermarkets.
