Argeliers is set amongst the reputed vineyards of AOC Minervois, and was the home of Marcellin Albert, leader of the wine-growers’ revolt of 1907.
The whole area is teeming with history, being on the edge of Cathar country; Argeliers itself boasts the remains of a 12th Century chateau and its fortifications.
Argeliers is a peaceful, pretty village, with its central square and shady plane trees, yet still provides all the basic amenities: a Spar minimarket, 2 bakeries, 2 butchers, a post office, a newsagent/tobacconist, a hairdresser and a bar/restaurant, all within easy walking distance.
Slightly further afield is the restaurant Le Chat Qui Pèche, Le Croisade and Le Terminus, while if you feel in need of more excitement, the small town of Capestang is only 15 minutes drive away.
Also on the Canal du Midi, in Capestang you can find more restaurants and bars, a large supermarket, DIY store and petrol station.
Argeliers is a good central location for exploring the scenic, cultural and historic sites of the area with the Minervois on one side and the Corbières on the other.
The Mediterranean sea is only 25km away, with miles of sandy beaches to choose from.
The nearest large town is Narbonne at 17km away; there is an excellent shopping centre and the Cathedral Saint-Just, famous for its flying buttresses, is visible from afar. In Narbonne you can also visit museums dedicated to Archeology, Art and History, and Lapidary.
Béziers, with the newly-opened airport at Vias, is slightly further away, about half an hour’s drive, and stands majestically on a rocky promontory.
Budget airlines fly into Beziers (40 minutes), Montpellier (50 minutes), Perpignan (1 hr), Carcassonne (40 mins), Nimes and Toulouse 90 mins and Barcelona (3 hrs).
The Spanish border is about an hour away.
