Homps
Homps is an ancient commercial port where barrels of Minervois and Corbières wines were loaded for their journey to Bordeaux. Several wine producers are situated here and you can visit them for tours and tastings.
La Redorte
Customer recommended "a new restaurant in the town, where we had a truly gourmet experience though not high prices"
Marseillette
A charming little village which retains a relatively 'undiscovered' air but boasts its very own radio station!
Carcassonne
Carcassonne is a world renowned UNESCO World Heritage site and is one of France's top tourist attractions. It has easy access from the airport and railway station and is an unmissable stop if you are cruising this part of the canal.
