The department is renowned for its dry and warm climate throughout the year and especially for its mild winters and really hot summers. Consequently, the Herault soaks in the sweetness and warmth all year long. Benefitting from around 2,500 sunshine hours a year with rainfall rare, Herault is located between mountain and sea, an ideal setting for holidays in any season!
