Excellent holiday home for relaxing/swimming/lounging and also for exploring the local area."
Ventenac is one of the many villages in the area which seems to have remained unchanged throughout the centuries with it’s chateau, medieval church and narrow shaded streets, but does have it’s village shop cum baker as well as it’s vineyards. The Cabardès wine is one of the many reputes AOC wines..
The area is a paradise for walking, cycling and riding. In all directions you can enjoy the picturesque and beautiful countryside – grain and sunflowers grow – vines _ hills - valleys, rivers and glorious shapes and colours – keep a look out for Napoleons avenues of Plane trees.
Just a 10 minutes drive away, the city of Carcassonne and it’s medieval Citadel is a must – don’t miss the Saturday morning market, but remember, comfortable walking shoes/sandals.
The Aude departement is also a centre of culinary excellence. The restaurants, too numerous to be named, offer an interesting blend of south western French and Mediterranean cuisine that is all the more authentic when associated with the local wines.
The French Pyrenees are within an hours drive for unrivalled mountanous scenery and of course the ski slopes – some of the sunniest (and cheapest) in France.
A similar drive time will take you to the warm waters of the Med, further afield - an hour or so will take you into Duty Free Andorra for a little retail therapy.
The area is Cabardes – one of France’s largest wine growing areas. Who could want for anything more ?
