THE VILLAGE AND SURROUNDING AREA

The house is in a pretty Minervois village, Aigues Vives - that has all the basic services with patisserie bakery, general food store, a couple of restaurants, and a bar, as well as tennis courts.

Aigues Vives is on the river Cesse that climbs deep into the Hautes Minervois via the notable Cathar village of Minerve, with its deep gorges, where the river goes under a hill creating a natural bridge. A village with numerous paths to take, and wines to imbibe in the area. A number of hidden pools are found on the river as it goes towards the sea; for those seeking more populous places - Bize Minervois offers a natural bathing pool, as well as Mirepeiset.

For lovers of sea bathing, the miles of sandy beaches all along the Languedoc coastline, are exceptional, with such places as Narbonne Plage, just 10 minutes from the cathedral and Roman capital of the region - Narbonne, or go to Gruissan with houses on stilts as made famous in the film Betty Blue, and international wind surfing and other water sports competitions.

History lovers will enjoy visiting the famous Cité de Carcassonne, the medieval walled city that epitomises the romantic medieval castle - for those who like a hike and climb - Queribus and Peyrepertuse Castle sit on mountain tops with dizzying views are the places to go.

For quiet picnics, under the shade of plane trees, Canal du Midi, is a lovely place to walk, or perhaps take a day trip on one the many canal boats that cruise on the canal.

If you are golf fanatic - the area is well blessed with a number of courses, in Carcassonne, Beziers, Cap d'Agde, and Lamalou les Bains.
