Small village of the Hérault, Occitan region, Saint-Geniès-de-Fontedit takes place in the last hills of Cabrerollais, on the banks of Taurou. It is located not far from Pailhès, Pouzolles and Fouzilhon, between sea and mountain.

Full of charm, this village still offers an aspect of small town in the countryside, to appreciate the typical landscapes of this part of the Hérault, while enjoying many advantages in terms of shops and tourist structures. The proximity to some of the most beautiful sites of the department and the Mediterranean Sea makes it an ideal place to spend a few days of holidays outdoors, to enjoy the sunshine of southern France.

A modest architectural heritage is also to be discovered on site, allowing one to enjoy the history and past of Saint-Geniès-de-Fontedit over time.
