A beautiful village, Azille is located in the heart of the Minervois wine growing region of the South of France. Situated in an elevated position, Azille benefits from magnificent views overlooking vineyards, olive groves and extending as far as the Pyrenees. The village itself boasts a number of wine caves selling superb wines at very attractive prices and almost all offering complementary degustations! Many activities take place during the year including outdoor markets, flea markets, the annual Feria - a testament to the local Spanish influence, and a music festival in July. Azille is set close to the Canal du Midi, offering opportunities for waterside walks and bike rides, not to mention leisurely canal cruises for the aspiring sailor! A less crowded alternative to the coast, Lac Jouarres, set but a mile from the village, offers family fun throughout the summer. Opportunities to swim, sail, fish or merely laze on the beach area make this a much loved venue on sunny days!
