ROUBIA AND SURROUNDING AREA
Roubia, is a pleasant village on the Canal du Midi, surrounded by vineyards, and is close to the River Aude, that flows from Carcassonne to the Mediterranean (at one time flowing through Narbonne).
The village has a boulangerie (bakery), butcher (open 3 mornings a week), post office; a green grocer, fishmonger, visit with their vans; and highly recommended restaurant/café.
To the north are the hills and garrigue of the Minervois, well known for its deep red wines, and pretty villages including Minerve, that straddles two steep gorges, known for its tumultuous Cathar history. To the south, across the Aude valley, are the hills and mountains of the Corbières, with magnificent abbeys such at Fontfroide and Lagrasse, and stupendous Cathar castles that defy nature perched on perilous peaks such as Peyrepertuse and Queribus. Westward is the grand cité of Carcassonne where medieval architecture comes alive, in a way that is only seen in films (which Carcassonne has). Eastward are the bustling towns of Narbonne and Beziers, each with thriving markets (Beziers - Friday flower market, Narbonne - Sunday market) and large thunderous cathedrals; and close to are endless sandy beaches that stretch along the Languedoc Coast.
Restaurants abound in the neighboring canal side villages of Paraza and Homps, as well as the city of Lezignan (where there are supermarkets). Canal boats are available for rental from Ventenac. And as expected wine can be bought at nearby local "caves"

RECOMMENDATION
Hello, I have just remembered that I hadn't written to you to let you know how our stay at the Roubia House went this summer. I rented it the week of July 7 - 14, 2001. It was a perfect place for our two families to join up. We spent the days at the beaches in Sete and the nights having large dinners poolside while the kids wound down and went swimming. It was very nice to come home where we could all relax and not have to dress up for dinner. Coming from the beach in our swimsuits, we'd cook dinner and plan the next days activities. Everyone enjoyed the accommodations and the ladies who came to open and close the house were especially nice. Please thank the owner and I send my appreciation as well for you having this house listed so that we could rent it. - Jade Terisse
