Beziers is the nearest airport (25 miles), Carcassone and Perpignan (40 miles), and Montpellier (60 miles) variously served by British Airways, Buzz, Ryan Air and Flybe. Toulouse and Girona airports are also a possibility and although they involve more driving (100 miles motorway) some of our guests have had good deals.
Distances
About half a mile from the heart of St Pierre sur Mer and about two miles from Narbonne Plage.
The nearest large cities are Narbonne and Beziers. Both are about 14 miles and steeped in history.
Further details
2 smallish supermarkets in St Pierre are open 7 days a week in season. Hypermarkets at Narbonne and Gruissan. St Pierre is a well kept secret by the French, in addition to being a beach resort, it is also a great location for sporting activities. There is superb windsurfing/kite surfing, tennis, horse-riding, mountain biking or walking in the Massif de la Clape (a beautiful natural park with rare orchids and exotic birdlife) in the immediate vicinity. There is a traditional daily market and a wide selection of waterside restaurants, bars and cafes. There is a fairground (in season) and disco(s) in the town. Free open air evening entertainment is provided by both St Pierre and Narbonne Plage. Numerous local vineyards offer the ever popular wine tasting.
Out and About, this is historic Languedoc, the land of the Cathars and the Albigensian crusade. Picturesque fortress castles (Queribus and Peyrepertuse are particularly impressive) can provide an enjoyable diversion from the sunshine beach and sea holiday. The fortified village of Minerve, the heart of the Minervois wine region is well worth a visit.
Carcasonne is a splendid restored medieval city; hence it is popular with tourists.
Montpellier, the birth place of Western medicine, is a beautiful city and has a medical museum. Spain is about an hour away by car and just over the border Figeures, home of Salvador Dali, has a museum dedicated to him.

Why the owner chose a home in this location
We fell in love with this region in the 1980s during our annual summer holidays with the children. This was before budget airlines and it had the great advantage that it was driveable! St Pierre was smaller then and over the years we watched and waited for the perfect location, eventually buying this property with its magnificent view.
Unique benefits of the property
It has a magnificent view of the Mediterranean, in a quiet location and is within easy walking distance of the small town with it's sandy beaches, restaurants, bars.
