About this property
Beyond its stone façade in the heart of a Languedoc wine village, Maison Theron welcomes you into a world where classic character meets contemporary ease. This beautifully renovated home captures the soul of the Languedoc with exposed stonework, a vaulted-ceiling living room and original architectural details, while offering modern comforts for a relaxed and effortless holiday.
A pair of doors lead out to a charming courtyard garden, where a private little pool glistens in the midday light. Relax on a sun lounger, sip a chilled local rosé beside the hammock or gather around the shaded dining table as the scent of grilled summer vegetables drifts from the barbecue. The terrace on the first floor adds another pretty spot to unwind with a good book.
Inside, the living space is both warm and practical with Wi-Fi and TV (with UK channels and Netflix) for quiet evenings in. The well-equipped kitchen, complete with dual fridges, a water dispenser and a sociable dining table, makes family meals or long breakfasts a pleasure (pick up croissants from the nearby bakery). Four bedrooms with king-size double beds are spread across the upper floor, including one with a private ensuite, alongside a family bathroom.
Maison Theron is located in Gabian, a medieval wine-producing village where life unfolds around you. A short stroll brings you to the bakery, café, grocery shop and more, while nearby Pézenas offers further delights, from open-air markets to vibrant summer festivals and Michelin-recommended dining.
Just 30 minutes from the house, the Mediterranean coast beckons with golden beaches, watersports and coastal villages famed for oysters and seafood. Inland, discover walking trails, castles, hilltop abbeys and river or lake swims in crystal-clear waters.
Whether you are travelling as a family or with friends, Maison Theron invites you to slow down and experience authentic southern French life, in a home that feels both timeless and thoughtfully comfortable.
In the heart of the Languedoc, Gabian is a characterful medieval village where cobbled lanes, stone archways and whispers of history converge. With a population of just 700, this fortified village offers an authentic escape, ideally located between the hills and the Mediterranean. The house itself sits in the village centre, a short walk from a bakery, a café-bar-restaurant, grocery store, tabac, church and pharmacy – everything you need for relaxed village living.
From your doorstep, long walks and scenic cycle rides lead you through the surrounding garrigue and vine-striped countryside. Just five minutes away by car, Roujan provides additional amenities, including a large supermarket. A 15km drive brings you to Pézenas, a jewel of the region, renowned for its beautifully preserved medieval centre, bustling market on a Saturday morning, artisan shops and rich cultural calendar. In summer, the town comes alive with its vibrant night markets, street performers and open-air concerts.
This region is a wine lover’s paradise, with vineyards and domaines scattered across the landscape, many offering tastings of the area’s bold reds, crisp whites and rosés. Day trips to Cap d’Agde (40km) and Sète (50km) provide an easy escape to the coast – think golden sands, seafood restaurants and leisurely afternoons by the sea. Or visit the Étang de Thau, famed for its oyster beds and relaxed boat trips along the water, with charming fishing villages like Bouzigues (38km) offering the freshest seafood in France.
For a touch of history and grandeur, Béziers (23km) and the Canal du Midi are just a short drive away, offering stunning views, canal-side dining, cycle rides and boat hire. In the other direction, nature enthusiasts will love Lac de Salagou (31km), Roquebrun’s Mediterranean gardens (32km) and the dramatic gorges perfect for canoeing. Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert (54km), a unesco-listed hill village, enchants with its ancient stone buildings and pilgrimage routes.
Gabian is perfectly placed for those seeking a taste of traditional French life, surrounded by nature, vineyards and culture. Whether you’re drawn by the promise of outdoor adventure, fine wines or village charm, this corner of Languedoc promises a richly rewarding stay.
