Planet Love

A shop in the town centre

Planet Love opened on Rue de la Syrah, right in the heart of Clermont-l'Hérault, in February 2020. It's a neighbourhood love shop rather than a big chain, which changes the whole atmosphere: you walk in without blending into a crowd of onlookers, and the exchange with the person at the counter is more direct.

The shop has now been around long enough to have built a small local reputation, that of a serious business rather than a mere stopover.

What you'll find there

The range is built around four product families: sex toys, lingerie, erotic accessories and intimate cosmetics. Gift ideas are also thrown in, for those looking for something more than a purely functional item.

The approach the shop puts forward centres on pleasure and wellbeing rather than visual shock. In practice, that means a selection covering curious beginners as well as regulars who already know exactly what they want.

Who it's for

Planet Love caters to couples as much as singles, and the place highlights a welcome designed with solo women in mind too, which isn't a given in this type of business. Access is reserved for adults, from age 18.

People come here for a targeted purchase rather than a long browse, since the shop doesn't have the size of the big urban chains. It's a handy landmark for locals in the Clermont-l'Hérault area who don't want to make the trip to Montpellier or Béziers.

Hours and contact

The shop is closed on Mondays. For other days, it's best to call the number shown on the guide directly before heading over, as hours can vary with the season.

Online reviews remain scarce, the shop being relatively young and more low key than a big chain. What comes through is the image of a professional business, run seriously, without any flashy excess or come-on window display.
