About our region

The holiday home is in a hamlet, surrounded by the Minervois vineyards, at the foot of the Montagne Noire. The villages of Peyriac Minervois and Rieux Minervois, about 2km away, provide for all day to day needs, including a small but well stocked supermarket. A travelling boulanger visits the hamet daily.

This is an ideal spot for those looking for a comfortable base from which to explore this spectacular region. Ten minutes drive brings you into the spectacular Montagne Noire, with its peak, Pic de Nore, at about 5000 feet (higher than Ben Nevis).

The city of Narbonne, and the long sandy beaches of the Mediterranean are about an hour away, and in the opposite direction, the medieval city of Carcassonne is about 20 minutes' drive.

The village of Caunes Minervois with its medieval streets, is about 3 miles away, and has a beautiful abbey with an interior featuring Caunes marble, which was used in the building of 'Le Grand Trianon' at Versailles.

Limoux, home to the sparking 'Blanquette' wine, is within easy reach, as are the Cathar castles, perched high on mountain tops around the region.

Getting there

Carcassonne airport is just half an hour away, with car hire available at the airport. Other airports within about an hour's drive are Perpignan, Montpellier and there is also Nimes which is about 2 hours' drive away.
