Durban Corbieres is in the heart of the historic Cathar country with its own ruined castle as well as those at the nearby villages of Peyrepertuse and Queribus. The walled city of Carcassonne which is about an hour away was also a Cathar stronghold and is well worth a visit with its medieval buildings and ancient wall and moat. The Canal du Midi passes through Narbonne, about 40 minutes drive. In Narbonne you will also find a Sunday morning market, a covered food market open Monday to Saturday mornings as well as many good restaurants.
The Mediterranean, about half an hour away offers not only swimming and excellent seafood restaurants but also water skiing, wake boarding and paragliding and aqua fun centres for children.
At Sigean about 30 minutes away there is the African Wild Life reserve, one of the best in Europe
It is also in the Corbieres wine producing region and just twenty minutes away is Tuchan which is the centre of Fitou production.
