Places to Stay in the Corbières

 

Sunday_Pic_1This is the largest region in the Languedoc-Roussillon and offers the visitor just about everything. From wild craggy countryside to wonderful sandy beaches. There are many places of note to visit such as the 900 year old Fontfoid abbey and the magical village of Lagrasse. You should also make time to visit some of the Cathar castles found in the Corbières especially Peyrepertuse whose name is derived from pierre percée, "pierced rock".

The Corbières is the largest and one of the most important wine regions in the Languedoc and produces exciting, dense and herby red and rosé wines and a small amount of increasingly well made whites. The region has been divided into 11 terroir with the Boutenac being the only cru. This small district is not typical of the region having low wooded hills of red soil and is producing some of the finest wines the Languedoc 3076201141_f59fb24000_m_1_produces.

We concentrate our tours in the Boutenac region where we visit some of the top class producers and we also taste honey in the pretty village of Monseret which is renowned for its honey flavored with thyme, rosemary and lavender.
