Day 2: The Hinterland, between vineyards and garrigue
Rent a car and head north into the countryside to discover one of the most interesting wine region, the Pic Saint Loup. (For hikers, the climb up Pic Saint-Loup is an absolute must!). In the afternoon, lose yourself in the streets of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, listed among the most beautiful villages in France, and stop by the Pont du Diable for a swim or a scenic break.

Our optional excursions (the best of the coastline):
Wine & Oysters (half-day): A gourmet escape by the Thau Lagoon to enjoy oysters directly from the producer.
