Villa Haute is close to The Herault Gorge a fantastic venue for canoing and kayaking. It really is a wonderful day out for the whole family (children over 6 years old). You are transported up the gorge to the kayaks and then spend a tranquile 3-4 hours drifting down The Herault river through magnificent scenery. Stop off and enjoy a picnic, swim off of the rocks or do a spot of fishing. You finish back at your car for the short but beautifl drive back to the villa.
There is a tennis court close by and several golf courses within easy driving distance. For those of a more 'laid back' disposition there are great beaches close by. The nearest is a Meze only 20 minutes from Villa Haute. Not only does Meze have a great beach but also a beautiful harbour surrounded by good seafood restaurants, all of which are child friendly.
