Your holiday accommodation near the Canal du Midi is located in the Pays Corbieres Minervois. In these rural areas, the landscape is characterised by a lot of rocks and lots of pine trees. As for the vines, they are everywhere!
To the north, the Haut-Languedoc. In the south, the Corbieres Massif. And in between flow several rivers, but especially the Canal du Midi! And on its 240 km, half of it goes through the Aude.
The bicycle paths allow you to enjoy this marvel, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, without spoiling it. You can also simply stroll along the towpath and, of course, don't hesitate to sail on the water. It is possible to board at Homps: one minute's walk from the residence Port Minervois / Les Hauts du Lac*** you reach the port of the village. Go for a 2-hour guided cruise aboard a gabarre.
Several other jewels are to be discovered within a radius of only about 30 km, such as the superb Fontfroide Abbey or the impressive medieval city of Carcassonne, with its 3 km of ramparts.
In this vast countryside, visit some iconic villages: Caunes-Minervois and Minerve (classified among the Most Beautiful Villages in France) are particularly splendid. Right next to Homps, you can take a trip back in time by visiting several extremely picturesque villages, such as Argens-Minervois, Peyriac-Minervois, Le Somail or Puicheric.
A little further away, but no more than an hour from the holiday residence Port Minervois / Les Hauts du Lac***, you will find some of the most spectacular Cathar castles: the Aguilar Castle near Tuchan or the remains of the Termes Castle, which offer extraordinary panoramas. Don't forget your camera!
Here we go!
You will find a few bike rental services in Homps. An extensive choice of models and accessories is offered by Evadeo in Carcassonne, for the duration of your stay, or at Paulette's in Narbonne. Don't forget the increasingly popular apps, such as OuiBike, BimBimBikes or BeBike, for rental between individuals.
Lake Jouarres is less than a 5-minute walk from your holiday accommodation on the Canal du Midi. This lake is very pleasant, very cool in summer for swimming! In this season, leisure facilities are provided for children and activities are offered by the sailing club: pedalo boats, canoeing and windsurfing.
For lovers of good wines, without wanting to incite you to drink too much, the list of tasting cellars is extensive. Let's mention some of the wine-producing villages closest to the residence Port Minervois / Les Hauts du Lac***: Lezignan-Corbieres, Fabrezan, Argens-Minervois, Boutenac, Lagrasse, Camplong-d'Aude. You can also discover the fine wines of the Aude at the Maison des vins du Minervois. From June onwards, there is an excellent range of activities on offer.
Don't forget you're in the Eldorado of bicycle touring. Fantastic tours can be made on the paths between the vineyards!
Do you want to have a green holiday? The Vacanceole Group is committed to the environment, thanks to a CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) approach focused on ecology. One of the key points of this approach is the implementation of a responsible strategy, depending on the equipment available in each holiday residence, such as selective sorting or energy savings with low-consumption appliances. The sustainable development guidelines of each municipality are also respected.
In addition to those practiced in our establishments, any of your own eco-initiative are welcome, whether it's riding your bike as much as possible, limiting the use of plastic bags or not leaving the taps on when you wash your teeth!
With its terraces sheltered from the sun, its courtyard covered with a glass roof, its modern and design interior, this restaurant is located on the banks of the Canal du Midi. The French cuisine is classic with a touch of inventiveness, led by chef Craig. The products are fresh, seasonal and local.
During the construction of the Canal du Midi by Pierre-Paul Riquet, he decided to create a port that would be a stopover between Toulouse and the Mediterranean. The Hameau du Somail thus dates from the 17th century with its chapel, its stone bridge, an inn, warehouses and an ice-house. In summer, the hamlet is very lively.
It's a giant abyss, with the world's largest underground chamber that you can visit. Avoid it if you are afraid of heights: the glass balcony gives the impression that you are suspended above 200 m of emptiness. You can walk on footbridges to the belvedere des Disques: it's beautiful and impressive. And for the more adventurous and courageous, a course of accro caves or caving is possible.
