Find Hotels in Haux

Haux combines historic roadside crosses and a church with a distinctive heritage-protection history, a wine experience that requires a reservation, recurring events and outdoor activities. If you are looking for a hotel in Haux, first consider what will shape your trip: local history, a visit to Château Lamothe de Haux, or activities on foot and by bike? The specific places and conditions offer different pointers for planning your trip.

Crosses and Church in Haux

The Croix de Manos stands at the southern entrance to the Grand chemin and had a wooden cross in 1769. At the other end of the hamlet stands the Croix de Bergueil, dated 1864. The dates are 95 years apart, making it possible to compare two distinct points in the chronology of local history. Their location details also help distinguish the two crosses geographically.

The church in the old town center is also part of this historic picture. The portal and the entire west façade of the church in Haux were listed by decree on November 21, 1925, and classified as French historic monuments on October 13, 1953. The two dates mark different steps: listing in 1925, followed by classification in 1953. To arrange a visit to the church, contact Haux town hall at 05 56 23 95 22. Confirm that a visit is possible before you travel.

Wine Cellar Tours and the Estate’s History

Château Lamothe de Haux offers guided tours of its underground wine cellars every day by prior reservation. A tasting of wines and cocktails from the estate follows. For planning purposes, the arrangements are clear: book in advance, and the tasting takes place after the tour. Beneath the Château Lamothe de Haux estate are 8 km of limestone quarries, created in the 17th century.

Recurring Events

The Omelette géante takes place in Haux every Easter Monday and attracts visitors and participants from outside the commune. A theater group in Haux also stages a comedy for all ages every year. The events follow different schedules: the Omelette géante is tied to Easter Monday, while the comedy is performed annually. If you would like to plan your trip around one of these experiences, check the dates for your intended visit.

Walking, Viewpoints and Cycling

Haux has numerous viewpoints and walking trails. If you are planning time outdoors, you can focus on these separately: walking trails offer an opportunity to get around on foot, while viewpoints offer landscape perspectives. This lets you include walks and viewpoints as distinct priorities in your travel plans.

For those wishing to explore by bike, the Boucle vélo n°16 Créon Sud is a named route suggestion. The 21 km bike ride passes through Haux and directs cyclists to the church in the old town center. Check the route conditions before setting off.
