ABOUT THE VILLAGE AND SURROUNDING AREA
The charming village of Ste Valiere is surrounded by pretty vineyards, and gentle hills, close to the Canal du Midi, and is 20 minutes from the famed Cathar village of Minerve astride the deep river gorges of the Minervois.
Accessed just off the D5 and centrally located between Beziers, Narbonne, and the medieval city of Carcassonne, and with Montpellier airport in easy reach, the village is ideally situated. Vans arrive daily to sell bread, meat, fish, and vegetables in the village. Within 10 minutes drive there is a large supermarket. There are tennis courts in the village which can be hired by the hour. There are several golf courses all within 40 minutes drive from the village. Restaurants abound in the area, from gourmand to pizzeria.
Half an hour's drive are the towns of Beziers (cathedral, museums, flower market, bull fighting, shops) and Narbonne (cathedral, roman sites, Sunday market, shops), both within 10 minutes of Mediterranean beaches that seem to go on for ever. Magnificent castles can be seen at Carcassonne - world renowned for its medieval cité, or a Peyrepertuse and Queribus where they cling to mountain tops with giddying views. Abbeys with angelic cloisters such as Fontfroide, near Narbonne (with Michelin * restaurant), and Lagrasse, set amongst the peaks of the Corbieres; and Elne towards the magical seaside resort of Collioure conjure up spiritual and architectural resonance.
