Things
to see and do
On the Canal du Midi cycleway
Set
in the grounds of this château, and being adjacent to the Canal
du Midi, this holiday gite offers easy access to miles of
walking/cycling paths and quiet roads to explore. The
residence is surrounded by vineyards so there are many local wines to
sample from the local Minervois region and neighbouring Corbieres
region. About a mile away is the pretty canalside village of
Homps which has a small supermarket plus several restaurants and a few
shops. For larger supermarkets, pharmacies, banks, local
markets, etc the small towns of Olonzac, La Redorte and Lezignan
Corbieres are only a few miles away. Mediterranean beaches
are less than an hour’s drive away as are the historic cities of
Carcassonne, Narbonnes and Beziers. The Black Mountains are
about an hour’s drive to the north with the Pyrenees about two
hours to
the south.
The medieval city of Carcassonne
If you are into history, there are many ruined
Cathar castles to explore in the area but if you prefer water sports
these are available at various venues within a few miles. The
area is well served by airports at Carcassonne, Beziers and Perpignan
plus the railway station at Lezignan Corbieres is on the main line
between Toulouse and Narbonne.
Essentially the apartment is well positioned for relaxing holidays.
