Mas Canta Cuques
In a typical
Languedoc style house, located in the heart of the village of
Florensac, in the south of France, only 9 kilometers from
the Mediterranean, surrounded by hills, valleys, and
wild, rugged " Garrigues", three charming holiday rentals, or
"Gîtes" await your visit...
The village and its surroundings
Mas Canta Cuques offerts its guests a
special atmosphere and hospitality. You can explore the world of
wine-making (going back three generations at Mas Canta Cuques) and
indulge in wine-tasting, visiting wine-cellars or culinary and cultural
events. The village of Florensac is warm and inviting, harbouring
narrow roads with old, weathered stones, a Roman bridge over the river
Herault, a small central plaza, and the cooperative wine-cellars. The
village's beatiful surroundings offer so much for all ages, you will be
surprised. To name just a few: the famous Canal du Midi, vineyards as
far as the eyes stretches, the magnificent, varied and odourous
"Garrigues", the wild, dry landscape on the ills and valleys around the
hot Mediterrean basin. In the Languedoc region you can visit the
misterious dolmens, menhirs, and other megaliths, the fairytale castle
of Carcassonne, the Roman aqueduct Pont du Gard, France's oldest road
the Via Domitia, an Oppidum, cathedrals, and Sète, the
so-called Venice of the Languedoc.

third generation, Guilhem and Maymo left Occitania to protect her son
libérated by Simon de Monfort by order of Innocent III ,
came with him to Catalogne and participate to the Reconquest. There
they stay, till 1914 when one of their descendants came to France and
established near Pezenas, without knowing a word of the origine...
