It is surrounded by a very charming country environment with vineyards, pine forests and hilly meadows...
L’Auberge de Pommayrac, a smart little restaurant about 12km south of Carcassonne, and just outside the quiet village of Verzeille.

you... |

Abbaye de Saint Hilaire
Limoux
| |
Limoux is best known for its sparkling wine, Blanquette de Limoux. This is reputed to be the oldest sparkling wine in France and dates back to 1531 when Benedictine monks from Saint Hilaire Abbey discovered that the wine they had laid down had fermented and formed bubbles. This was the beginning of Limoux’s bubbly - the Blanquette de Limoux which was the first AOC to be created in the Languedoc area. The process (the locals say) was stolen by Dom Perignon who went on to create ‘champagne‘. however the Limoux sparkling wine is a very high quality champagne substitute and Crémant, which was developed in 1990, has a top class reputation. Now a prestigious event attracting buyers from all over the world, “Toques & Clochers” puts up for auction the most promising barrels of AOC Limoux. A share of the proceeds are then used to finance the renovation of bell towers in surrounding villages. Every year the auction is hosted by one of France’s great chefs popularly referred to as a “Toques”, the traditional white chef’s hat....

History tells us that Blanquette de Limoux, the world's first sparkling wine,
dates as far back as 1531. At the time, the monks of the Benedictine abbey of
Saint-Hilaire, near Limoux, were producing a somewhat unusual white wine in
their cellars. Inside its glass flask, with a cork top - very rare for wines at
this time - it acquired a natural sparkle. This was the forefather of the brut
which is tasted today at the world's most prestigious tables. Since they first
started cultivating vines, the growers of Limoux have aimed at maintaining the
originality of the Blanquette de Limoux growth and developing its quality. The
region's surrounding hills protect it from the extremes of the Mediterranean and
Atlantic climates, with the area enjoying a microclimate particularly suitable
for making quality white wine. The vines classified in the appellation are
always planted at the top of southern-facing slopes, giving the best exposure.
The soil here is shallow and sparse, full of chalk and stone....

The Lac de la Cavayère (Cavayere lake) is a large man-made lake not far from Carcassonne Chateau that was built in 1988. It is surrounded by the beautiful Mediterranean landscape and is spread over 40 hectares. A footpath goes all the way round the lake, which is a leisurely hour and a half's stroll. There are also two beaches (a sandy one and a pebble beach), which are suitable for swimming and have life guards present during the summer, a play area for children with bungee cords attached over trampolines, to give you extra bounce and o2 - an adventure park created by hanging ropes between trees where you can climb, slide and swing, including a long 'slide' over part of the lake itself.
