Azillanet is a charming unspoiled village with cobbled streets and original wash-houses. It has wine 'caves', a village shop which stocks everything - fresh bread delivered daily, (meat and poultry available to order) - and a local 'Ferme Auberge' with outside dining amongst fruit trees, and great set menus at very reasonable prices. There is a modern children's play area 2 mins away from the house. The village is situated in the foothills of the Montagne Noir, ideally placed between plain and mountains, therefore offering walking, hiking, cycling to suit all. We enjoy gentle bike-riding through the wine villages, passing between vineyards and olive groves... But if you fancy something more strenuous... The ancient Cathar village of Minerve ('Un des Plus Beaux Villages de France'), straddling its 2 river gorges, is 4kms away - & other lovely villages close. Olonzac is 3.5 km away with supermarkets and all facilities, as well as a thriving weekly market. Canal du Midi 10mins away.
