Camplong d’Aude lies at the heart of the Corbières wine region: visit this wonderful village and meet some of its 300 inhabitants.
Hidden away from the main roads, the houses of this authentic Corbières village encircle the ruins of its castle. The nearby village square is refreshed by a delightful fountain shaded by white mulberry trees.
To the west is the Montagne d’Alaric, named after the Visigoth warrior king. Its sunny slopes hide a mysterious treasure, or so it is said…
Going further back in time, geological forces have left their mark below the Rocher de l’Aigle (Eagle Rock). Waves of blue and grey decorate the cliffs. The area is a delight for walkers.
To the south you will see the Rec des Mattes, a small stream, and to the east the River Orbieu, placid in summer but – as the high bridges show – unpredictable in winter.
A few minutes’ drive and you are in Lagrasse, one of the “most beautiful villages of France”, boating on the Canal du Midi World Heritage site, strolling around the medieval city of Carcassonne (also a World Heritage site), or indeed swimming in the Mediterranean.
Why come to Camplong? Many reasons. Some fall in love with the old stones. Others find friends here. Some come for the food and wine: fruity Mediterranean wine, intensely aromatic, with a hint of spice. But Corbières isn’t only a wine; it is also a culture created by the men and women who have lived here over the millennia.

The Corbières is one of the wildest areas of France with one of the lowest population densities. It is picturesque with wine growing areas alternating with garigue and mountainous countryside. It is located mainly in the Aude département and partly in the Pyrénées-Orientales département. The River Aude borders the Corbières to the west and north. To the south is the River Agly and to the east the the Mediterranean Sea. The name Corbières comes from "cor" a pre-Celtic word meaning "rock" and "berre" from the River Berre which runs through Durban. The eastern part of the Corbières with its Etangs, borders the the Mediterranean Sea and is called the Corbières maritimes. It has its own distinctive climate and characteristic vegetation known as thermomediterranean vegetation...

Vin de Pays d’Oc,
Vin de Pays de l’Aude |
| |
Vin de Pays means 'country wine' to the French, but to outsiders it can mean New World with a French accent. These are the wines which the French authorities unreservedly allow to be labelled with the grape variety from which they were made. It is difficult to over-estimate the importance of this large and growing category of wines for the future of the French wine trade. The French themselves may have tended to see any Vin de Pays as distinctly inferior to any appellation contrôlée wine, whereas many of their customers abroad see the better Vins de Pays as good-value, user-friendly, sometimes high-quality non-conformist emissaries from the world's most revered wine producer....

Gorges de Ribaute, a gorgeous swimming spot of limpid blue-green water teaming with fish and dragonflies, below reefs of rock pummelled by centuries of water.
For those not tempted to bathe, watching the wildlife is equally enjoyable.
The river Orbieu tumbles from the geological chaos of the central Corbieres, gradually warming up as it runs over sun-baked rocks, until it winds through the vine-covered hills of Lagrasse and Ribaute....
