Holiday in the Minervois - Languedoc
Located in the small hamlet of Paguignan, in the heart of the Minervois wine region of Longuedoc-Roussilon, this beautifully restored winemakers home offers luxury accommodation for 4/5 people.
La
Maison des Barriques is the perfect retreat for those wishing to enjoy
mediterranean France, to soak up the atmosphere, to bathe in the sun,
to visit the Cathar Castles or to explore the stunning landscape.
A paradise for painters, walkers (and strollers) Just 2 minutes from
the front door you are among the vineyards or in the garrigue with
its intoxicating smell of wild rosemary, thyme and lavender.
Today, behind the original facade of this old winery, lies a fabulous contemporary interior. Unlived in for over 40 years the property has been transformed and lovingly renovated to a high standard. Being an Interior Designer, every detail has been considered, mixing old with new, and retaining original features to provide a warm, spacious and light atmosphere.
Paguignan, which nestles in the foothills of the Montagne Noire and just 30km from the Mediterranean, was once a bustling community of wine growers with 2 cafes and 2 stores. It is now a quiet hamlet with winding alleyways, an ancient chapel, a small tree lined square (ideal for a game of boule), a church and architectural evidence of more prosperous times. One family still produces wine in the village.
