Spring in Minervois at Mailhac
Today's photo features - April 23 2002

Vines are fresh with leaves, and Mailhac welcomes Spring

Mailhac, 30 minutes drive from Narbonne or Beziers, is a pretty village in the Minervois - with a history to pre - Roman times. It is noted for a nearby dolmen, and a huge source for archaeological discovery in the nearby hill - where its treasures are in museums all over France. The village museum is always closed and deserves some good funding to get it open. The charming village is well worth a wander around, its little bar a welcome respite in the warm Summer months. If you are going to Minerve this Summer take the alternative route and stop at Mailhac - then take the little road (D177E) to Aigne (Lo Cagarol Restaurant, Art galleries) - then aim for Minerve.
