WELCOME TO DOMAINE EN BIRBÈS

Set in the gently rolling landscape of the South French region of Languedoc-Roussillon, surrounded by fields of sunflowers and grain, lies the medieval village of Laurac. At the foot of this charming hamlet, with barely 200 inhabitants, you will find the beautiful Domaine en Birbès.

As of mid-January 2026, the domaine has been carefully and confidently handed over by Rob and Mariëlle Zandvliet to its new owners, Jonathan and Caroline Paggen. With great enthusiasm, they continue the story of Domaine en Birbès and will be welcoming guests to this special place from the coming summer season onward.

Domaine en Birbès is a place to unwind and enjoy all the wonderful things French life has to offer: sun, sea, mountains, culture, activities, and of course delicious food and wine. Whether you are travelling alone, as a couple, with family or with a group, with or without children, Jonathan and Caroline will do everything they can to make your stay as relaxed and unforgettable as possible.

A warm welcome to you, and we look forward to seeing you in Birbès.
