The village of Bize is well supplied with services and shops. A weekly outdoor market takes place on Wednesdays in the tree lined square just across the river from Le Figuier. In walking distance from the house are several restaurants, a bar, bakery, grocery store and a butcher, as well as a pharmacy, newsagent, post office, dentist, beauty salon and a doctor's surgery. You can taste the wine at several local wineries, and a short drive towards Narbonne you will find the Cooperative Oleicole L'Oulibo, a cooperative of olive growers, where you can experience how olives are processed, as well as taste and purchase a very good selection of their excellent oils and table olives.
A little further away, in St Marcel d'Aude you'll find a larger supermarket, and the town of Narbonne is only a 20 minute drive.
THE SURROUNDING
AREA
Bize Minervois is part of the Minervois region, that includes
the captivating village of Minerve 10kms to the north, that straddles
two deep river gorges, and was the site of a famous siege and martyrdom
of Cathar Parfaits by Simon de Montfort.
Towards the south and east there are the towns of Beziers, and Narbonne,
with splendid cathedrals, excellent markets, shops, museums, and much
to see. Ten minutes drive further are the seemingly endless sandy beaches
of the Mediterranean that run from Cap d'Agde to Gruissan, and further
north and south.
To the west in about 40 minutes driving is the Medieval cité of
Carcassonne that featured in the Kevin Costner Robin Hood movie, as Nottingham
Castle! The Cité is a marvel to see, with magnificent walls, views,
shops, restaurants, museums. For castle worshipers - go to the Corbieres
and visit the dizzying peaks where Queribus and Peyrepertuse are found.
Two castles that defy gravity and provide stunning views over the surrounding
hills, valleys towards the Pyrenees and Spain.
Nearer are beautiful abbeys such as Fontfroide, near Narbonne (which also
boasts a *Michelin restaurant), and Lagrasse, where there are pottery
fairs in the Summer months
