François, the farmer. Nadine, a hospital worker. Together, they made the choice to change their lives, and here François and Nadine are now hoteliers. Their new professional adventure began in 2020, when they took the reins of The Originals City, L'Hippocampe Sète-Balaruc. Located in a business park, 1km from downtown Balaruc-le-Vieux - a small Languedoc town at the foot of the Etang de Thau - their 3-star establishment offers services that perfectly meet the expectations of a clientele that is passing through, both family and professional: 55 comfortable and functional rooms, a pleasant dining area to get the day off to a good start, a seminar room and ample free parking. Their biggest strength: the human relationship. "We chose this job for the welcome and the conviviality", says the couple. Here, smiling is not an option but a way of life, and many customers praise "a particularly friendly and helpful team".

Town center of Balaruc le Vieux near The Originals Hotels

Tips from your hotelier

BALARUC-LE-VIEUX

Less known than its neighbors, Balaruc-Le-Vieux is nevertheless worth the time to stroll through the sunny streets of its village in circulades, typical of the Languedoc. In addition to its restored ramparts and its Saint-Maurice church whose first traces of existence go back to 957, the highest square of the village (the Place du Truc) allows you to contemplate the Crique de l'Angle, the hills of La Moure or Bouzigues and its oyster beds. If you are visiting in July, do not miss the medieval festival and its fireworks show.

Tips from your hotelier

SETE

Between sea, canals and pond, the "Venice of Languedoc" shows a remarkable cultural dynamism with authentic and lively maritime traditions (cf. its popular and festive jousting tournaments). Once you have visited the 12 km of beach and the fishing port, take a walk up to the panorama of Mont Saint-Clair before going down to the marine cemetery where two great names of the city rest: Georges Brassens and Paul Valéry.

Tips from your hotelier

L'ETANG DE THAU

With its air of inland sea, the Thau Lagoon is a natural environment without equivalent in Europe. Its ecological diversity allows it to shelter and host more than 400 plant species and 100 animal species: clams, sea snails, sea urchins, sea breams... Not to mention the famous Bouzigues oysters and mussels produced by the 800 farms that ensure their breeding. More extensive than deep (between 4.5 and 10 m), the pond harbors certain secrets. Legend has it that on a clear day you can see the church tower of a mysterious sunken city.
