Chez Nous
The hamlet of Cazo is nestled on a hill in a valley swept with grape vines. From our house’s doorstep, walking paths fan out in all directions over a variety of terrain. The hilly paths are kept open by the hamlet’s resident population of 200 heirloom sheep and goats. The trails through the valley and rolling hills run through the hundreds of hectares of prime vineyards.

Hikers feel as though they’re in the middle of nowhere and yet from Cazo it’s only a three-minute drive (or a 30 minute hike through the hills) to the thriving market town of St. Chinian situated in the Vernazobre river valley. Gastronomes rejoice when they hear that there are three butchers in town, a twice weekly open-air market and several simple cafes. This region of the south of France is wonderful to explore by foot, bicycle and car.

People ask us if we rent our home. The answer is: “Sometimes.” For more information visit our website at Hamlet in the Vines
Love your site, scrummy recipes, but most of all I love your enthusiasm for Cazo! We spent two heavenly weeks there last August and absolutely fell in love with the place – two more weeks to look forward to this August. I look forward to reading more here – thanks.
Henry Vigne
Henry, what a perfect last name you have for a visitor to Cazo! Isn’t it wonderful there? It’s like going to France, stepping back in time two hundred years — and then subtracting another two hundred years after that (except for the fact that there’s wireless internet service). Thanks for subscribing to “A Fork on the Road.” Hope to offer some new recipe ideas soon.
do you have an above ground pool there?
No we don’t but there’s a big pool in town and several rivers nearby.
