Autignac is a beautiful, unspoiled, small village in the heart of the Languedoc region. A twisting maze of houses and lanes that are fascinating to explore, full of traditional French architecture and ambience.
Autignac has its own bakers, butchers, chemist, post office and general store as well as the cafe by the church where the local vignerons take their well earned lunch and meet in the evenings to enjoy a 'Pastis' or 'Biere'. The atmosphere is always friendly and visitors always feel welcome. A small market visits weekly where you can buy the local produce. This is well worth a visit and gives you a great insight into the French way of life. A large InterMarché is 5 minutes drive away near the village of Magalas.

During the hot summer days the shutters of the houses remain closed, opening in the cooling evening as the village comes to life. The early evening is a wonderful time to explore some of the paths that thread their way through the vines giving superb views of Autignac and the mountainous panorama. The sunsets are always spectacular as the sun goes down behind the mountains.
