About 20 minutes drive to the north is Minerve – the famed Cathar village astride a river gorge with museums, restaurants, galleries, and beautiful walks. 30 minutes to the west is Carcassonne, the magnificent medieval walled cite, famously the backdrop of a number of movies. About 5 minutes away is the Canal du Midi, a pretty canal built in the 1660's - perfect for boat rentals, walks, and picnics.

Montpelier and Narbonne are 2 sizable towns that are great for day trips – explore their grand cathedrals, museums, markets, shopping centres, and numerous special events, concerts, and fetes. Ten minutes further on are sandy Mediterranean beaches that stretch for miles from Cap d'Agde to Gruissan Plage.

The region has numerous charming, picturesque villages such as Minerve and Lagrasse which have craft shops, wines caves, museums and abbeys to explore. You will also be amazed when you visit the mountain top castles at Queribus and Peyrepertuse.

The village is situated at the heart of the Minervois, renowned for its red wines and is 5 mins away from the Lac de Jouarres, a small lake offering beaches, a cafe restaurant, swimming and water sports.

Activities such as golf, horse-riding (about 3 miles away in our neighbouring village), mountain-biking, tennis (1 court for public use in the village) to water sports are also popular in the region, as well as numerous fine restaurants for dining, and wine caves offering excellent wines for tasting (usually free) and purchasing at reasonable prices. There are 3 excellent wines caves within walking distance that offer excellent quality wine from 2 Euros per litre!

Guestbook for Self-catering holiday home

The house is unusually large for property in its price range in Europe. This was great advantage as it allowed the kids to escape and gave me space to work on the research for my novel. The location in Felines Minervois is excellent, both as a place to live and as a base for visiting the Cathar country. Madame is a gem.

Thanks very much for lending the place to us. The holiday was very enjoyable and the village was lovely. We were amazed at all grapes and the lovely scenery. Again thanks for lending us the place and we will keep it in mind for another relaxing holiday.
Mr Grech, London

We had a great time and would definitely go back.
