Les Templiers is located in the beautiful medieval town of Pézenas, once home to 17th Century playwright Molière and seat of the Governors of Languedoc. Its narrow streets and rather grand 16th, 17th and 18th Century townhouses have lead to it being regarded by many as the jewel in the Languedoc region.
Pézenas is situated between Béziers and Montpellier, a 20 minute drive to the beaches of the Mediterranean.

Pézenas is easily accessible from most major airports in Europe into Béziers (17km), Montpellier (41km), Nimes (86km), Carcassonne (90km), Perpignan (95km), Toulouse (160km) and Girona (170km)
There are also excellent TGV connections giving easy access to the Languedoc by rail.
