Location and surroundings of object
Here you will find true peace, relaxation, deceleration, recreation, and pure nature – combined with little tourism – more in July-August!
You can leave the car – and walk to the gorges of “Gorges d'Heric” – only about 800-900 m away.
It is the most beautiful gorge in the Haut Languedoc Nature Park. By car (about 1.5 km) just minutes to the gorge parking lot 3.50 €.
Here you will find many beautiful swimming spots in the natural pools and many small and larger waterfalls. Lots of sun and many, many hiking trails. It can be reached in just a few minutes on foot through the historic old stone village and the vineyards. The path through this beautiful sunny gorge leads to H'Eric and is about 5 km long.
You are staying in the midst of a charming, wild and romantic landscape with magnificent mountains and the nearby Gorges d'Heric and other nearby gorges within a radius of 1 to 10 km. There you will find large and small waterfalls in turquoise water pools/basins inviting you to explore, discover, and swim. Hike to your own 'pool' in this unique landscape.
Mons La Trivalle means "between 3 valleys." It is located at the heart of the 3 rivers D'Heric, Orb, and Jaur.
You can swim and bathe wonderfully in both rivers; there are many beautiful bathing spots, some with sandy beaches. Very nice canoe tours are possible – suitable for children from 6 years old. The landscape is mountainous, the highest point is Mont Caroux at approx. 1157 m elevation, with forests, many chestnut trees, vineyards, cherry trees, almond trees.
Clear, good, pure air – this allows you to admire an impressive starry sky / Milky Way / constellations. Don’t forget your telescope.
It takes about 1 hour to drive to the Mediterranean – depending on the beach, from approx. 55 km.
Before Mons, at the bridge to Tarrassac and in nearby Vieussan you can rent canoes.
A lake landscape is approx. 30 km away, if you still find time for a visit.
In the village there is a Spar supermarket with many organic products, a restaurant, a wine shop, and other small stores.
In summer, market day is on Thursday.
Another good restaurant is located on the B 908 (La Gariguette) and is highly praised by many visitors (about 1 km from the house). Only 5 km away is Olargues, one of the most beautiful villages in France, with shops, restaurants, bars, artists, and a market with regional products that takes place on Sunday mornings.
In many places, various markets, festivals, or events take place – mostly from May to October!
Large supermarkets are located between Lamalou and Bedarieux.
In Lamalou there is a beautiful golf course and a riding stable.
In Lamalou there is a large market hall with fresh and regional products. On-site activities: Swimming and hiking in a dream landscape – natural streams with many clear and clean natural pools, free climbing, mountaineering, horseback riding, donkey-lama tours, canyoning, canoe/kayak tours, castles, fortresses, caving, climbing park.
Cycling on the "Passa Païs," the former railway line between Bedarieux and Mazamet, a total of 80 km of secured cycle path.
This is one of the most beautiful and longest rail trail cycle paths in France.
The route passes through Mons la Trivalle. Bicycle rental in Mons.
And to the nearest beaches – for example in Valras, Serignan, Vendres, Marseillan or Agde, Sete, Narbonne, etc. – it is only a short hour’s drive – from 55 to 80/90 km.

More than just a simple holiday cottage...
Simply wonderful and everything you could wish for. The holiday cottage is a dream, very lovingly designed, almost a bit like in a fairy tale. The path to it is quite steep, but everything is easily accessible directly from the house. One can relax wonderfully and enjoy the splendid landscape, but one can also experience adventure and action. Thanks to the nice contact with the landlord, we were very well prepared and had a lot of experiences. Unfortunately, we didn't do very well with the food in the area, but there were fresh ingredients from the market every day and a very well-equipped kitchen. You can wonderfully go on hiking tours directly from the house. It's also absolutely recommendable with children - if they’re not too little anymore - because you can find the most beautiful swimming spots everywhere. A canoe tour is also highly recommended. And there are plenty of herbs and animals to discover - we had geckos right on the terrace, badgers in front of the house, squirrels in the trees, a small wild boar in the forest, and loads of lizards and colorful insects. Every stone sparkles and everything smells wonderful with fresh herbs. We had a very nice holiday, the long journey was worth it. It is truly more than a "standard holiday home" - because you can feel that a lot of heart has gone into it. We will always happily remember this vacation.

Wonderful
Wonderful, well-kept, old house with a beautiful sense of space due to the very different room sizes. Nice bathroom with a generous shower. Due to its location on the hill, there was always a pleasant breeze. The windows can also be left open in the evening with the light on, as they all have practical fly screen blinds. The equipment is very good, you can tell that the owner comes here on vacation and wants to feel comfortable. The last 400 meters of the driveway may be intimidating at first, but then they are no longer a problem. Mons is also very nice with the small shop down in the village, in general the region around Mons is a dream. Fantastic hiking trail directly from the holiday apartment to the rear part of the gorge. We will be back!

Felt wonderful - magnificent landscape!
Everything is just right here! The beautiful stone house has so much positive and charming energy and atmosphere. It is easy to relax here, as it is a quiet and wonderful place. We immediately felt comfortable and at home.
The house is spacious and very cozy. It was very clean and the reception and handover by Mrs. B. were very friendly and informative, with many good tips.
The fireplace, if done correctly, quickly becomes warm and so cozy. You don't want to leave then.
The beds are very comfortable and in good condition. The kitchen has everything you need. And the area is just fantastic - whether on foot or by car, very short distances. We enjoyed our trips and especially, especially the cozy days of rest with good wines, for example from St. Chinian and Faugeres, on the warm and sunny terrace. We will be back! Promise!
