Minervois holiday villa rental - self catering Languedoc-Roussillon villa

Holiday villa/gite in Agel- Minervois in France, set among the rolling hills and vineyards of the Minervois region of France, is a haven of peace and tranquility. It is possible, even at the height of summer, to walk through the village Agel- Minervois, past the chateau and up the winding road into the countryside and not see another soul. Under a clear warm blue sky, there are views across the surrounding vineyards with only the crickets and birds for company.

Views:Views to picturesque countryside around the property

Agel is a picturesque, typically French village that dates back to Roman times. Set on the River Cesse, it is a short drive from the Canal du Midi (at Argeliers) and the Lac de Jouarres with beaches for swimming and water sports. The Mediterranean beaches (Narbonne) and the mountains are about half an hour away by car. The region is renowned for fresh fruit, olives and particularly wine (many AOC vineyards within easy reach and a ‘cave’ in the village of Agel) as well as the beautiful scenery. The Canal du Midi is a World Heritage Site and can be reached by car in 10 minutes (a little longer by bicycle). The river Cesse, which runs 100 metres from the villa, is nothing more than a stone-strewn river bed during the summer, but for the more energetic, it is possible to walk along this all the way to the ancient village of Minerve, the most beautiful stone village built clinging to the peninsula formed by two rivers millions of years ago.
