We live in Dublin Ireland and spend as much time as possible here - great weather and it is in the middle of the vineyards - we spend a lot of our time cycling on the little roads through the vineyards or by the Canal Du Midi
We love the area it is situated between Carcassonne and Narbonne -in the middle of the Minervois area- it is unspoilt and scenic and there are loads of things to do and activities to suit all ages - the canal is nearby and is interesting -the old Cathar village of Minerve is a short drive away and Narbonne is 30 minutes by car - an old historical city with some good shopping and old Roman remains - the Lac de Jouarres is 500 metres away and there is an amenity area - a sailing school paddle boats windsurfing etc - the little villages all have their own market days - Olonzac is 2 kilometres and market day is on Tuesday morning usually finishes at midday and Wednesday in Lezignon Corbiere- atmospheric- food and household goods -and clothes etc Olonzac has a great artisan bakery - see photo of cakes in the photos!!!
