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, & typical menus at very reasonable prices. Children's play area 2 mins from the house. The village is situated in the foothills of the Montagne Noir, ideally placed between plain & mountains, with 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 spectacular Cathar village of Minerve ('Un des Plus Beaux Villages de France'), straddling its 2 river gorges, is 4kms away - & many other attractive villages nearby. Olonzac is 3.5 km away with supermarkets & all facilities, as well as a great weekly market. The Canal du Midi is 10mins away. Lake & river swimming mins away.
