Neighborhood
esseras is a beautifully situated mediaeval village at the foot of the Montagne Noire, ideal for walking and for visiting the surrounding area.
One of only five villages allowed to boast the Minervois La Livinère sub-appelation, the local wine is of very good quality and offers excellent value for money - you really should try some!
A small grocery store is in walking distance of Les Lavandes. The local market town of Olonzac is a five minute drive away and has a good range of shops and facilities. The market on a Tuesday morning is one of the best in the area. The well-stocked Casino supermarket has a great selection of local produce and is open on Sunday mornings during the summer. The bakery in the centre of Olonzac produces excellent bread and croissants, and the Cafe de la Poste opposite the bakery has great coffee.
The area immediately behind the house has some very interesting countryside. There are vineyards and fruit trees on the lower slopes and wilder Garrique vegetation further up the hill. The views towards the Pyrenees are marvelous. Around the local Minervois villages are a variety of walks and these are all shown in the booklet in the house that was produced by the local tourist office. Further afield is the dramatic scenery of the Montagne Noire and the Pyrenees.
The local area is also ideal for cycling. Below the house is the Aude plain with relatively flat terrain. A few kilometres away is the Canal de Midi with a shady cycle path along its banks. Behind the house is hilly countryside with quiet country roads and tracks. The scenery is stunning, especially towards Minerve and Gorge de Cesse. You can hire bicycles locally and have them delivered to the house when you arrive.
The local tennis court is available for the use of guests free of charge. The court is a two minute walk from the house and although it is owned by the Commune, is rarely used.
