The town of Olonzac is the 'capital' of the Minervois region and is well-serviced with shops, supermarkets, bars, restaurants and has its own weekly market on a Tuesday morning. Olonzac is a thriving town with new developments taking place - it's lively in summer and has its own music festival in August - please enquire for the dates.
As well as using the large swimming pool at Gite Topaze 2 (13m x 5m), you can also play tennis in Olonzac. At Lac du Jouarres, a short drive or bike ride away, you'll find a beach, fishing, wind-surfing etc. This is a great area for cycling with many interesting villages and the Canal du Midi is just a short ride away (a local cycle-hire company, English speaking, will deliver your bikes to you at Gite Topaze! - please ask us for details).
Olonzac is a great base for exploring the Minervois and wine-lovers will find numerous chateaux and 'domaines' offering wine- tastings and direct sales.
