Siran is one of only a few villages in the area producing Cru Minervois (Minervois La Livinière). Wine lovers will feel at home here but there are plenty of other attractions on offer making it an ideal location for all age groups.
The Canal du Midi (UNESCO World Heritage Site), possibly the prettiest canal in France can be accessed at Homps (5 minute drive) and in season you can rent a boat or take a trip on a barge. Also a great place for a stroll or cycle along the tree-lined banks.
The coast is less than an hour away but for a local beach with safe bathing then Lac de Jouarres is just a 5 minute drive. There is also a sailing and windsurfing school , life guard in season, snack bar and picnic area.
The Cathar village of Minerve (20 mins), dating back as far as the 12th century, offers breathtaking views. The village is perched high above a canyon on top of the gorge carved by the River Cesse.
Carcassonne (40 mins) is one of the most impressive walled cities in the world!
