Olonzac is well serviced with bakers, butchers, supermarkets, a bank and a post office as well as several restaurants and cafe-bars. It is a thriving and very typically French town - it's lively, especially in the summer months, and has its own festival in August (please enquire for the dates). It has a great local market on a Tuesday morning. This is a great area for walking and cycling with many interesting villages and the Canal du Midi is just a short bike ride away. You can also play tennis and boules in the park (please ask the owner for tennis racquets). At the Lac du Jouarres, a 5-minute drive away, you'll find a man-made beach, swimming, fishing, wind-surfing etc - its also a great place for a stroll.
For swimming, you can visit the Mediterranean beaches at Gruissan or Narbonne Plage, or the swimming pool at the large leisure centre in Narbonne - Espace Liberte. All types of water sports are available too at the coastal resorts: wind-surfing, sailing and diving etc.
