Les Sphynx De Pezenas

About this property

In the Languedoc town of Pézenas, where cobbled streets and centuries-old façades speak of history and character, Les Sphynx de Pézenas offers a rare opportunity to experience life inside one of the town’s most distinctive period homes. Just moments from the vibrant centre, this elegant, detached house is tucked behind electric gates, its driveway opening onto Mediterranean gardens with mature trees, lawns and inviting terraces designed for easy outdoor living.

Inside, the house is welcoming and beautiful, with full air-conditioning, fibre Wi-Fi and UK TV blending seamlessly into its classic bones. An impressive kitchen with a central island flows through to elegant dining and living spaces, while the conservatory lounge provides a cinematic experience with a 55" 4K TV, PS4 and doors opening out to the garden. Three comfortable bedrooms, including two en suites, are spread across two floors, with French doors leading from the master bedroom to an elevated decked terrace.

Outside, drift between the heated 9-metre swimming pool and the outdoor lounge, pour a chilled drink at the poolside bar, or fire up the plancha as the sun begins to dip. Challenge friends to boules or table football, then retreat to the pigeonnier library for a quiet moment. With a boules court, both charcoal and gas barbecues, and even an electric car charging point, every detail has been considered.

Pézenas itself is a jewel of the Languedoc, known for its Saturday market, brocante stores and winding alleys filled with artisans, cafés and cultural events. A short stroll from your door brings you to bakeries, wine bars and restaurants, while a 20 to 30-minute drive leads to Mediterranean beaches from Cap d’Agde to Marseillan Plage. Further afield, the region offers vineyard tours, freshwater lakes and dramatic gorges, with Montpellier, Béziers and Carcassonne all a day trip away.

Perfect for families, friends or couples seeking space and a rich local experience, Les Sphynx de Pézenas is an invitation to experience the south of France in classic style.

Located on a no-through road in Pézenas, Les Sphynx de Pézenas enjoys a prime location in one of southern France’s most atmospheric towns, less than half an hour from the vast sandy shores of the Languedoc coastline.

Les Sphynx de Pézenas is just a very short stroll from the historic centre of Pézenas, offering a captivating blend of cobbled lanes, honey-stone façades and a rich cultural calendar. Once favoured by Molière himself, Pézenas bursts into life each summer with open-air theatre, artisan exhibitions and vibrant street festivals. Sip coffee at a shaded café or browse the famous Saturday market as it spills through the old town, alive with colour, fragrance and the buzz of local life.

A 20 to 30-minute drive south brings you to the glorious sands of the Languedoc coast. From the family-friendly shores of Marseillan Plage and Sérignan Plage to the lively energy of Cap d’Agde, home to golf, watersports and the exhilarating slides of Aqualand, there’s a beach for every mood. Seaside dining is a must, with fresh seafood and chilled rosé served just steps from the water’s edge.

Nature lovers will relish the diverse landscapes nearby. Lace up your walking boots and head for the Mourgettes footpath or further afield to the dramatic Gorges d’Héric (50km), set within the Languedoc National Park, a paradise of hiking trails, river pools and wild beauty. For a gentler pace, Lake Salagou (30km) offers tranquil freshwater swimming, summer watersports and shaded picnic spots.

Wine and gastronomy are at the very heart of the region. Vineyards blanket the surrounding hills, offering intimate tastings and a chance to discover robust Languedoc reds and crisp local whites. Visit the Noilly Prat cellars in Marseillan (17km) or explore the world of pastis at the Paul Ricard distillery in Bessan (14km). And for seafood lovers, a visit to the Étang de Thau (18km) is essential - sample oysters fresh from the lagoon, paired with a chilled Picpoul de Pinet.

For day trips, the choices are endless: explore the floral charm of Béziers (25km), the historic grandeur of Carcassonne (111km) or venture east to the Roman majesty of the Pont du Gard (138km) and the pink-hued wetlands of the Camargue. Wherever the road leads, Les Sphynx de Pézenas places you in the heart of it all.
