There are many picturesque towns and villages nearby. Montolieu, the pretty book village is well worth a visit, known for the many quaint little book shops. Mirepoix with its pictureque timbered square and popular Monday market also boasts countless festivals throughout the year, including the apple festival and puppet festival. Limoux, on the banks of the river Aude where the famous ‘Crémant’ sparkling wine is produced also has a pretty central square with restaurants and also hosts a weekly night market during July and August.

St. Hilaire is beautiful with its histroical abbey at the centre and Minerve is also a stunning town, with charming cobbled streets and stone houses perched high on a thin sliver of land with river running on both sides, only accessible by a high bridge.
