Although hard to get to (from anywhere) the rugged village of Roquebrun is a real delight to visit. Perched on the edge of the River Orb, this is a very picturesque setting within the Languedoc Regional Park. The Roquebrun market is held on a Tuesday (and also a Friday). The other reason to come to Roquebrun is that the local wine is excellent. Produced under the Saint-Chinian appelation, the Roquebrun wines are well respected (see Best Languedoc Wines).

You will find the Roquebrun wine co-operative on the northern edge of Roquebrun as you approach it from the direction of Lamalou-les-Bains and Bedarieux. For further information about the Roquebrun wines and the town itself, please visit the Roquebrun website
