A Place In The Vines is situated an easy 5-10 minutes stroll from the centre of the 1,000 year old historic village of Montpeyroux.  It is overlooked by the floodlt ruins of  Le Castellas.

Montpeyroux is located at the foot of the large limestone Causses of the Masif Central below the Larzac highlands, with Mont St Baudile (2,750 ft) and the Seranne massif towering above. To the south the Herault plain runs down to the Mediterranean Sea.

Strategically built along the old trading routes, pilgrims trudged their way along the drailles from Jerusalem and Rome to the shrine of Saint Jacques de Compestella in north-west Spain.

Today, Montpeyroux is a thriving working village with a worldwide renown for producing seriously good wines.

In the summer months there are cultural events as well as jazz evenings in the main square. The main events are Pentecost and the evening before Bastille Day.
