Country Of Residence England

We have just returned from our second stay in this charming, comfortable and well-equipped gite. Bize is a lovely village which is friendly, welcoming and despite being very small has all the shops and amenities you could need only a few steps from the front door. Our only regret was having to leave. We will definitely be back again.

Lovely location-really enjoyed exploring the area.Visited various beaches-all worth a visit. Narbonne Plage, Leucate, Cap d'Agde, Valras and Sete. The stretch between Cap d'Agde and Sete is wonderful- even just as a drive.

We arrived in Girona airport and spent a night in Rosas,in Spain. Then drove up to Bize.It is an unspoiled village with lovely scenery and friendly people. Took a short trip to Minerve, and discovered more of the wines of the Minervois and the Montagne Noir. My only regret was that we could not speak enough French. Michael helped us very well indeed.

We were very sad to leave Bize Minervois after 2 weeks of property hunting.Great location to get a taste of Frech village life.

Bize is a very quaint little place and an excellent base to explore from. If you can get to Nimes you must and a visit to Agde is worth it. Valras Plage is a wonderful beach in the Aude.

Bize Minervois is a lovelly village in the Aude. Food halls at Narbonne, cave co-op in Argeliers, Minerve and Le Somail. Altogether, very relaxing

Best day hiring bicycles from http://mellowvelos.com in Paraza. on the Canal du Midi. Cycling through Olonzac. Toured villages around Minerve- very special church in Rieux Minervois. Lovelly seafood dinner at Gruissan Plage. Beziers full of small discoveries- Musee des Beaux Arts. Best dinner in Les Platanes- canal du midi town of Poilhes- early evening sun going down over Pyrenees.

Can recommend Las Tours and the cave at Limousis, market at Olonzac and Carcassonne. Don't bother with the abbey at Caunes Minervois and the abbey at Fontfroide has great guided tour.

Bize Minervois is such a delightful setting for a Gite holiday in the Languedoc. L'Oulibo olive oil Co-Op is well worth a visit. The beaches of Gruissan, Narbonne Plage and St Pierre are a delight. Carcassonne Cite is great- get there early. Paraza and Ventenac are worth a visit- right on the Canal du Midi. For a Village Gite in the Languedoc, this Gite takes some beating.

All of us had a very good week (last one) and the house in Bize Minervois itself was one of the best we have had during the years we have been in France and they are mounting up now. The Gite was perfect on so many ways, airy, large rooms, well equipped and very easy to clean, which is always a huge bonus. Douglas, the 16 year old one has alr5eady decided to save up his salary as a judo trainer for next visit, next year to the Aude,Languedoc………..one year is a long time at that phase in your life.

We enjoyed the beach at Cap d'Agde. We also enjoyed the Canal du Midi at Homps and Minerve is a village in the Aude,Languedoc, not to be missed.

Must do selection: Minerve, City of Carcassonne, La Sallette. If you cant go past sparkling wine, check out Blanquette de Limoux- Dom Perignon came here before he headed up north.

Must see places- La Cite at Carcassonne, as many Cathar Castles as you can fit in, a wine tasting (try the superb Muscat from St Jean de Minervois and dont bother with sherry again!) Les Halles in Narbonne. For the Time Team fans, there is the Oppidium de Nissan-lez-Ensernium, where the Roman road- the Domitia passes. Also at Salleles d'Aude, there is the Amphoralis Romain.

We found the locals very friendly in Bize Minervois. We visited Minerve, Lagrasse, Carcassonne, Gruissan, the Canal du Midi. The Gite in the Aude, Languedoc was very comfortable for the 4 of us. We experienced the celebrations of Bastille Day - before, during and after.

A fabulous week in the Aude, Languedoc, part of our 4 week tour of France, and a favourite area to date.
Sunday market at St Chinian is a great starting point.Carcassonne was very busy, go early. Aquajet in Narbonne is a safe,quiet water park .
Homps is a lovely little part on the Canal du Midi.The Minervois wines are generally excellent value and the wine tasting in the Cave at Bize Minervois is great.
