About the home

A luxurious retreat in the heart of the Minervois, this traditional French Manoir sleeps 12 people in 6 huge double bedrooms - four with en-suite facilities, and the other two with their own shower room. The château style house, furnished with a mixture of antiques and modern luxury, has its own private swimming pool in a large south facing courtyard garden enjoying total peace and quiet.

Manoir Theron was built in 1857 and retains many of the traditional features associated with a house of quality in these times including large rooms with high ceilings, marble fireplaces and a dramatic sweeping staircase. Recently, the house has undergone complete renovation to accommodate the needs of the 21st Century whilst respecting the splendour and elegance of the original building.

There are 6 luxurious bedrooms, two with king-size beds and four with twin beds, so easily sleeps 12 adults. A cot and high chair are available if there is baby in the party. Four of the six bathrooms/shower rooms are en suite and the remaining two have their own shower rooms.

The Languedoc-Roussillon / Aude region

Centrally located in the Aude, the villa is easily accessible, with 3 airports less than 1 hour's drive away. It is also perfect for enjoying all that this region of France has to offer. Whether it is the sparkling blue Mediterranean and its miles of golden sandy beaches, the Canal du Midi or the historical city of Carcassonne, there is something for everyone.

Things to see and do in the area

There is something for everyone in the Languedoc Roussillon region and all are easily accessible from Manoir Theron. There is far too much to tell you about here. To summarize the most popular attractions are
• The Mediterranean sea and beaches. The closest beach at Narbonne is about 25 miles away and goes on for as far as the eye can see(about 4 miles). Other beaches then stretch east to Valras, Cap d'Agde, Marseillan all the way to Montpellier and beyond. Each has its personality from just sea and sand to more developed resorts. Going in the other direction, the coastline towards Perpignan provides equally spectacular beaches.
• Carcassonne and its medieval cite has to be seen to be believed. The whole region is steeped in Cathar history with many sites and mysteries. (Suggested reading Labyrinth by Katie Mosse and Da Vinci code by Dan Brown)
• The Canal du Midi, now a Unesco World heritage site, is just 6km away with walking, cycling or boat hire. Follow Rick Stein's voyage in Anjodi.
•Lac de Jouarres, just 5 minutes drive away, has fishing, sailing, other watersports and swimming from its own beach
• Perpignan, Beziers, Narbonne and Montpellier are the closest cities
• Barcelona and Spain is about 2.5 hours drive for those of you who are adventurous
• The mountains of the Pyrenees are to the south and accessible for skiing in the winter and the beautiful Montagnes Noir are just north of Pepieux.
• Winetasting, enjoying the many and varied grapes grown in the area direct from the Domaines. We can organise a range of winetasting experiences for your party from speedtasting, to give you a flavour of the languedoc wines, right through to a course giving you a professional qualification. We have forged special links with several wine experts including Vin en Vacances, a vineyard tour company run by Wendy Gedney, an English woman with a passion for this wonderful area and its wines. Wendy is a wine teacher and during the tours not only will you have a thoroughly enjoyable day, you will also learn a great deal about wine and tasting. Her aim is to provide you with an experience that you can’t easily create for yourself and during the day you will explore the regions, meet some of the most interesting vignerons, taste their wines and enjoy a superb lunch. Just ask for details when you book.

The Minervois area

Situated on the edge of Pepieux, it enjoys all the benefits of a typical French village including a boulangerie, general store, cave and bar with restaurant and yet provides peace and quiet and stunning views over the vineyards and Montagne Noir. The Minervois is famous for its wine and the wine produced at the cave in Pepieux supports this reputation! (But don't take my word for it, come and experience it first hand).

Pepieux is a village in the middle of the vineyards but has the advantage of local shops and other facilities. There is a tennis court 100yds away and the main centre of the village is only 3 minutes walk.

In the village is a baker selling delicious pastries, fresh bread and great for those croissants first thing in the morning. There is a small general store, a post office, hairdressers, pharmacy, tabac and a gift shop. The bar is very 'french' serving great food in a relaxed atmosphere. But don't expect a choice and practise your french.

The cave co-operative is just off the village centre and sells excellent wine made from a mixture of the local grapes. You can buy it by the bottle or take any container for them to fill. And you won't believe the prices.

Olonzac, at about 3 km, has a supermarket, and for all other shopping needs try the local cities of Narbonne, Carcassonne and Beziers.
