Roujan is a small pretty village and commune set on a hill in the Arrondissement of Béziers in the département of Hérault in southern France. It has a small collection of shops and cafes and is served by a regular though infrequent bus service.

The relatively cheap house prices and the charming little streets have attracted a significant number of English expatriates who have made Roujan their home.
