Prémian and the valleys of Orb and Jaur
This gently mountainous region is full of charm.
Here you will find calm and serenity,a rich fauna and flora and remarkable landscapes.
The cottages are located in the village of Prémian in the Jaur valley, along the PassaPaïs cycling path,
which runs from West to East through the Haut-Languedoc Regional Natural Park.
The southern slopes of the Espinouse massif are full of waterfalls and torrents streaming to the rivers Jaur and Orb which are located in the valley hollows.
There are many opportunities to enjoy outdoor activities such as cycling, hiking, swimming in lakes, rivers or mountain streams, canoeing, climbing or trout fishing.
We will show you the best places!
As for our cultural heritage, the old villages with their stone houses nestled on the rocky foothills or in the hollows of the leafy valleys are full of charm.
The generosity of nature and culinary tradition provide local restaurants with fine ingredients and delicious menus.
A few steps away, the renowned vineyards of St Chinian, Minervois, Faugères and Hautes Vallée de l'Orb invite you to taste their wines.
In summer the valleys like to party in the riverside bars, the many concerts and at music or village festivals.
Cultural life flourishes all year long.
