Garrigue, Minervois
Carcassonne
Pepieux, is a charming village, with supermarket, baker's/boulangerie, post office, pharmacy, hairdresser, and restaurant/café/bar. For those seeking sublime wines, you can purchase from 3 renowned wineries (Hachette guide) in the village, as well as from the cave cooperative. There are also tennis courts, to which as house guests you will have free access. Apart from a large church and an adjoining house with 12th century frontage, the most notable site within walking is the Dolmen des Fades - The Fairy Dolmen - a megalithic tomb dating back 3,000 - 5,000 years, which is one of the largest in the area.
Within 20 minutes you can find yourself, discovering the garrigue of the Minervois, the Cathar village of Minerve, with its deep chasms, and underground rivers; pretty little churches, or magnificent abbeys such as at Caunes Minervois, or hill top castles such as at Lastours - where once troubadours sung and roamed; or you can laze and walk along the leisurely and UNESCO awarded Canal du Midi that links the Med to the Atlantic (built in the 1600s). In 30 minutes, you can see one of the deepest waterfalls in Languedoc at Cupservies, or enter into the fabulous medieval Cité of Carcassonne, and in July watch great music and fireworks. Or drive to Gruissan, and swim, bathe, from many of the sandy beaches that stretch along the shoreline for seemingly miles and miles.
If you want exciting day trips - discover Toulouse Lautrec's art as well as Medieval magnificence in Albi, a couple of hour's to the north; or go to Collioure, where the Pyrenees meets the Mediterranean; or go further to Dali's museum, just across the border in Spain (2 hrs) in Figueras. Or if you want to enjoy cosmopolitan delights of energetic towns - visit Toulouse, with its art galleries, and futuristic museum; Perpignan, with its Latin music festivals, and Catalonia color; or Montpellier, with its dance festival, art galleries, and international university.
