Minerve Village overview
Charming Minerve Village
Caunes-Minervois is a small medieval town with a bank, shops and restaurants, a famous Abbey, showing off, to impressive effect, the equally famous pink marble quarried just outside the town. The old centre around the Abbey has wonderful narrow streets to wander through and explore.
If you have not explored this area of France before you will find a wealth of fascinating (and Tragic) history, dramatic scenery and of course as we are in the Minervois, a region of major and good wine production, where every town and village produces it’s own wine, you could try a different wine (or two!) every day. Of course along with the wine comes the food and there are local markets in many of the towns and villages of the area where you can try and buy locally grown produce.
Here are just a few ideas for places to go and things to see –
A visit to ‘La Cite’, the medieval city at Carcassonne and the largest remaining walled city of its type, is a fascinating day out or in just 40 minutes you could be basking in the sun on the gloriously sandy beaches at Narbonne & the Mediterranean coast both north & south. A day trip to Barcelona or Andorra is possible too with both being only three or four hours drive.
There is the rich Cathar history with the amazing Castles at Lastours and the extraordinary walled city of Minerve, which are both, definitely worth a visit. The hugely impressive caves at Cabrespine should not be missed either!
In your apartment you will find a pack containing all sorts of information on these and other places of interest worth visiting.
