Local Information

The property is located close to Capestang in the traditional village of Montouliers, set in the heart of the Minervois wine growing area, on the Canal du Midi. The village has a grocery store.

Neighbouring village of Argeliers (2 min) with two boulangeries, two butchers, a small supermarket, a newsagent / tabac, two hairdressers, and a couple of small food shops. Several wine outlets.

Capestang (5 min) with lovely canal-side restaurants, shops and further café bar restaurants.

Narbonne Plage and Gruissan (40 min) for great Mediterranean beaches, traditional markets, café bar restaurants, water park and amusement parks.

The nearby, beautiful Canal du Midi is a great respite from the busy beaches. Made famous recently by Rick Stein's BBC TV series, the canal offers miles of flat, tree-lined, shady footpaths with many waterside bars and restaurants.

Narbonne has an interesting gothic cathedral, medieval quarter and Roman remains, some good restaurants and a peaceful past, reflected in a serene town centre.

Carcassonne 45 mins the most romantic medieval skyline anywhere and has great summer medieval festivals and spectacular evening firework displays.

Corbieres, where interesting and serious wine makers are now well-established and you can stop at towns like Lagrasse, a really gorgeous place in the fold of a hill, unspoilt, medieval and facing a Benedictine monastery across a river. Everyone swims in a little lagoon looking up at the twelfth century bridge.

Cisterian Abbaye de Fontfroide with lovely rose garden and a good restaurant.

The kayaking is wonderful in the Montagne Noire, pretty Victorian spa towns have wide and slow stretches of the Orb where tinies can bob about, and fast exciting stretches for the others.

For serious "white water" enthusiasts, there are good rivers in the Pyrenees, also about an hour away. Similarly, Figueires, the Dali Museum and Barcelona are all not far to the south.

Each beach along the coast has a different flavour to it.

Budget airlines fly into Montpellier (1 hr), Perpignan (1 hr), Carcassonne (40 mins), Nimes and Toulouse 90 mins and Barcelona (3 hrs).

Hypermarkets and excellent shopping in both Béziers and Narbonne. Cultural events and traditional markets.

Historic Cathar trail with many castles to visit.

The Spanish border lies just 55 minutes away.
