Montagnac, a wine-growing village in the heart of the Hérault

Located in the heart of the wine-growing plain of the Hérault, Montagnac is a commune of over 4,000 inhabitants whose history is closely linked to viticulture. The village has remarkable heritage with its fortified church of Saint-André, its private mansions, and its cooperative wineries, testaments to the golden age of the Languedoc vineyard. The Maison des associations, located in the town center, regularly hosts charity events and cultural activities. The proximity of Pézenas, former residence of the governors of Languedoc, and the Ensérune oppidum offers rich visiting possibilities for heritage enthusiasts.

Protecting felines through charity thrifting

The association Les Chats Libres de Montagnac conducts trapping and sterilization campaigns to control the stray cat population, which are then released and monitored by a network of volunteers. The car boot sale is their main source of funding, helping to cover the considerable veterinary costs associated with these interventions. By shopping at this car boot sale, each visitor concretely contributes to an animal cause while finding good deals.
