This whole area is full of Medieval villages waiting to be explored. There are many ancient Chateaux and Abbeys where you are led on tours and told of the many years of exciting Cathar history. You can of course spend hours visiting the Chateaux and tasting some of the wonderful local wines - Minervois, Corbieres, Fitou and Cabardes.
The town of Limoux is within 20mins of the cottage and there you can sample the bubbles of the Blanquette de Limoux which was the original sparkling wine, many years before Champagne came about.
The miles of sandy beaches at Narbonne are within an hours drive. These are beautiful beaches that stretch mile after mile. Plenty of restaurants serving wonderful fish dishes. On the otherside of Carcassonne you will find the Lac de la Cavayere.
There are 3 beaches, pedalos, crazy golf, a snack bar/ice-creams. You can walk around the lake and enjoy watching the butterflies, frogs, fish, lizards etc.
