Location description
Olonzac, capital of the Minervois, is a thriving town with many restaurants, cafes and bars, patisseries, boulangeries, delicatessens and regional specialty stores. An extensive market is held every Tuesday morning (and Friday mornings also in July/August) where you can obtain the finest local produce of vegetables, poultry, meats, cheeses and wine. Parks and tennis courts dot the town, and a magnificent lake, Lac de Jouarress, is only a few minutes away. Here you can fish, swim, windsurf or simply enjoy the relaxation of gentle boating.
The picturesque rolling hills and vineyards provide a wonderful setting for cycling and walking. Relax in the warm Mediterranean Sea and sunbathe on golden sands just 30 minutes away, or discover an adventure in the snow-capped Pyrenees to the south.
Because Spain is only and hour away there is a strong Spanish influence in the local culture. The people are warm and friendly and the food and wine delicious. Caves (wine cellars), where wine tasting is encouraged, are everywhere. Fetes, festivals and markets occur all year round throughout many of the surrounding villages. For the history lover, the area is full of delights. Nearby is the captivating village of Minerve that straddles two deep river gorges. It was the site of a famous siege and the martyrdom of Cathars by the crusaders. The magnificent walled medieval city of Carcassonne is 30 minutes away. You can walk, ride or boat along the 16th century Canal du Midi, tie up to eat at any of the many restaurants that line the banks or work your way through the system of locks along the canal.
Slightly south in the Corbieres are the awe-inspiring castles of Queribus and Peyrepertuse. For splendid cathedrals, excellent markets, shopping and museums there are the bigger towns of Montpellier, Beziers, Toulouse and Narbonne.
Tourist attractions
