Azille:
The town of Azille is one of the 17 historic villages of the Minervois. An ancient fortified circular town it is located in the foothills of the Montaine Noire with spectacular views across the Aude plain towards the Pyrenees and the sea. Azille is a village with all facilities. There are shops, bars, butcher and boulangerie, restaurants, pharmacy and internet cafe. At the end of April there is the famous four day bull Feria ( the festival of running with the bulls!).
