On the border between the Aube and the Herault, in the middle of the Minervois vineyard, this medieval village is perched on a rocky outcrop that overlooks the Cesse and the Brian rivers. Its elevated location made it, during the Cathar wars, a refuge for heretics after the sack of Beziers in the beginning of the 13th century. The town has preserved its old stone buildings from that time. The quickest way to get to this Cathar village is the D15 highway. You will not be disappointed, as Minerve has a lot to offer. In fact, it is listed as one of the “most beautiful villages in France”.
Park your car outside the village, and take a tour on foot to see these wonders up close. Right away, you will see the remains of a medieval castle from the 13th century. Not far from these remnants, at the top of the village, you will see the church of Saint-Etienne that dates from the 11th century. This religious building in the Roman style houses an altar that was likely built in the year 456.
Finally, admire the natural bridges dug out by the canyons of the Cesse and the Brain, or the old ramparts that have been completely restored...

Argens-Minervois - Arguably one of the most beautiful villages on the Canal, Argens-Minervois is an nice stop for visiting the village. A short walk from the moorings into the cobbled area of this terraced hilltop village is to experience the real ambience of the Languedoc. Crossed by the Canal du Midi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, our medieval village is located between Carcassonne and Béziers. 20km from Narbonne, it takes shape with its typical castle 2 turns around the canal between the locks of Pech Laurier and that of Argens. Bucolic postcard between vineyards, lake and scrubland but also a dynamic village with its craftsmen and welcoming traders, its port, its associations and its school. A charming stopover between land of cultures and terroirs in a protected site...

Dolmen des Fades - Pépieux |
 |
|
|
The Dolmen des Fades is surrounded by a forest of pines a little away from the road on a hill at a place called "Morrel de las Fadas", which means in Occitan "Slope of the Fairies." The monument is the biggest dolmen long hallway (previously covered walkway) in the south of France. It was built, according to the archaeologists ca. 3500 BC (late Neolithic) by the people of la culture the Véraza: the remains of this culture were first found in 1903 at this place after plowing of the terrain and then in 1946 after meticulous excavations by Odette and Jean Taffanel a necropolis of the "Champs d'Urnes" revealed. They found include a dagger with brass rivets, a very original piece in the Olonzac Museum where it is stored. From Pépieux direction Minerve (take D 206), and after 2 km, at the area of Mignarde, take the first left (D 168); The Dolmen is shown on the left at km. It stands on a hill planted with pine trees, where you have a beautiful view...

La Curiosité de L'Auriol (Lauriole) |
 |
|
|
The Curiosité de Lauriole is not a place where you can find something to buy or other interesting things, no it's really an insignificant piece of road with only an optical illusion. When we were there for the first time we looked everywhere for something special but did not find anything. After a little search on google we found an interpretation of this phenomenon. What you have to do to find the cache is just to find out the secret of the Curiosité de Lauriole. You can put your car at one of this coordinates and just set your gear in the free and leave the breaks... because of the optical illusion you will think the car goes that direction but it's not!!!

La Coopérative
de L'Oulibo - L’Odyssée de l’Olivier |
 |
|
|
L'Oulibou is a fascinating place to visit. Only 3.5 km from Mailhac, it produces some award winning oils and olives which can be sampled in the very mill where they have been made. You can also see the whole process that olives go through in order to make them into a wide variety of oils. The 'lucque' is one of the main olives of the Languedoc Roussillon area and it under goes some magical transformation within the walls of this traditional mill. 2 kilometres from Bize, just off the main road between Beziers and Carcassonne, you will find l’Oulibo, a cooperative that produces some of the best olives and olive oils in France. Bize is part of the Minervois region that includes the village of Minerve 10kms to the north which was the site of a famous siege by Simon de Montfort and the consequent martyrdom of the Cathars. Nearby are Beziers (35 minutes) and Narbonne (25 minutes) with cathedrals, excellent markets, shops, museums, and much more...

Le Somail is a port on the Canal du Midi built in the
seventeenth century. It’s near the town of Ginestas in the Minervois and these
days is a rapidly expanding village. Originally it was a small hamlet around the
port itself but today it’s something of a tourist attraction. Other attractions
include a brightly-painted barge which is a floating grocery store and an
amazingly huge emporium of second-hand and antique books. They profess to be
able to get any book you’d like to order – and in any language. It’s quite
fascinating watching the pleasure craft go by whilst eating on the banks of the
canal. We finished our day by taking a little motor boat (it was a little motor,
as well as a little boat…) for an hour. The peace and stillness of the Canal
were lovely but we did also enjoy squinting into the portholes of some of the
more luxurious boats moored along the bank...
