There is much to see and do in the immediate area -
- AMPHORALIS in Sallèles is an archaeological museum, depicting the Roman potteries which existed here 2000 years ago. An oven has been reconstructed and every summer a production of pots & tiles is made, following the same techniques as the Romans would have used.
- L'OULIBO in Bize Minervois is the only olive oil mill in production in this area. The visit is very interesting and the shop has a great selection of olives, oils and other comestible goodies, as well as lovely soaps & shampoos.
- VINEYARDS - well you will trip over one every corner you turn! We have been researching the best in the area (well somebody had to do it!) and have now put together a short break including lots of wine tasting - see our short breaks for details. The local Cave Cooperative in Sallèles has won Gold Medals in Paris for its recent vintages of Cabernet Sauvignon and Blanc de Blancs, both of which are extremely quaffable and very good value for money.
- THE MED and its resorts and beaches are just under half an hour's drive from the house.
- WATERSPORTS are easily available - exciting windsurfing on the lagoons between us and the coast, as well as kayaking and canoeing on the Orb, about 20 minutes inland.
- CARCASSONNE- the wonderful walled city (which inspired the castle in Walt Disney's 'Sleeping Beauty') is a definite must - amazingly it is now over 700 years old, and well nigh intact.
- The CATHAR CASTLES are all situated south and west of us, in the Corbières, which is fabulously rugged countryside - easy to imagine marauding Moors and defenceless damsels. Let us put together a route for you to get the most out of a day trip.
- The ABBAYE DE FONTFROIDE - a renovated Cistercian abbey, with a beautiful (if unexpected in southern France) rose garden. Has a very good gift shop, also a café and even a gastronomic restaurant.
- THE CANAL DU MIDI has been classified as an historic monument by UNESCO and offers you a choice of activities, from a barge holiday to a day trip from Narbonne - or perhaps a short walk, cycle or horseride along its shady towpaths to discover a quiet bar or restaurant....it's up to you to decide!
