Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Markus Lenk, Düsseldorf, Germany

Two PR circular walks start in Octon; Lac du Salagou near Octon also offers swimming, sailing, fishing, canoeing and kayaking. This means you can choose between setting off on foot from the village and enjoying activities on the water. The Château de Lauzières and wine cellars selling wine round out the options with cultural history and a taste of local produce.

Circular Walks and Other Routes

The Chemin des charbonniers and the Chapelle de Roubignac are two PR circular walks that start in the village of Octon. They give you two separate route options from the same starting point; their names help you tell the trails apart. The Transequestre riding route crosses the commune via Mas de Clergues. This lets you distinguish between circular walks starting in the village and a riding route through the commune when planning your trip.

Activities at Lac du Salagou

At Lac du Salagou near Octon, you can swim, sail, fish, canoe and kayak. The range offers several specific ways to enjoy a stay by the water, while the PR circular walks in the village provide a different focus for activities. Access to the water and safety conditions may vary seasonally; check the conditions before your visit. Access to Lac du Salagou is via the A75, exit 55, in the direction of Octon; the lake is 2 km away. As traffic and roadworks may affect the journey, check road conditions before setting off.

Château de Lauzières and Local Wine

The Château de Lauzières has been listed as a historic monument since December 14, 1942. Its foundations are believed to predate the year 1000. The two details relate to different aspects: the date before 1000 refers to the presumed foundations, while December 14, 1942, is the date it was listed. This distinguishes its probable early origins from its precisely dated historic status.

Tourism-related local services in Octon include wine cellars selling wine. This adds a specific culinary connection to the routes, water activities and château. If you plan your trip around different interests, you can consider wine sales as a separate option alongside nature and culture.

Cycling Routes Around Octon

The Pays Coeur d’Hérault cycling loop follows the RD148 to Mas de Carles and then the RD8E3 towards Salasc. The Grande traversée VTT (CD34) is a separate route reference: it crosses the territory of Octon, passing by Mas de Clergues. The two routes can therefore be identified by their respective landmarks: Mas de Carles and the RD148/RD8E3 sequence towards Salasc on the one hand, and Mas de Clergues within the commune on the other. Check the route of the Grande traversée VTT before setting off.
