The picturesque village of Roquebrun, which overlooks the Orb Valley, truly deserves its nickname, "the little Nice of Hérault". It's ideally located in the Haut-Languedoc Regional Nature Park, 30 kilometres from Béziers. Its shale-rich soil, which has the particularity of retaining water and storing heat, makes it a unique place where exotic vegetation thrives.
Its exceptionally balmy microclimate enables mimosas, exotic plants, and orange, lemon and other citrus fruit trees to flourish, even in the middle of winter. The magnificent Mediterranean garden, with a remarkable collection of succulents and exotic plants, a Mediterranean orchard and a botanical trail dedicated to the local flora, is the unmissable highlight of this plant paradise.
But Roquebrun is also a charming village. It's a pleasure to wander its narrow streets, admiring its close-packed houses, sun-drenched roofs and vineyards, as well as the River Orb and the bridge across it dating from 1870. Water sports enthusiasts can go canoe-kayaking on the river. Keen photographers, meanwhile, can enjoy some beautiful viewpoints over the village from the Route de Laurenque or near the Church of St. Andrew!
