Rue Barbes in Olonzac , Hérault

There is a beautiful park in the village with a good play area for children, quiet areas for sitting and tennis courts (courts can be hired for around 5euros per hour). Nearby there is the Lac de Jouarres where you can fish, swim, windsurf or simply enjoy the relaxation of gentle boating. The lake is fully supervised in summer months and there is a newly opened cafe/restaurant where you can sit on the terrace and watch the windsurfers and young sailors as they make the best of this superb facility. Parking and swimming are free at the lake which is within easy walking/cycling distance.

A brand new kitchen has just been completed with all the modern conveniences you could hope for including of course a dishwasher.

Just 2 km from Olonzac, the banks of the Canal du Midi sits, with plantane trees creating a magnificent canopy along its way from Toulouse to the Med. You can hire boats or bikes, by the day, from the port at nearby Homps. There are many splendid restaurants along the way that are well worth a visit, as well as enjoying the community that thrives along it - Rick Stein only showed a bit of it - the real thing is infinitely better! Minerve is probably the most well known village in the Minervois - it literally sits at the confluence of two enormous river gorges - the Cesse and the Brian. It is primarily famous as being the site of one of the last Cathar strongholds held siege by the Crusaders but is also officially one of the prettiest villages in france - well worth a visit and only 10-15 minutes drive from Olonzac.
