This charming house for long rentals in France is located in the heart of the small town of Olonzac. Olonzac has all a small town could wish for including bakers, butchers, a supermarket, a bank and a post office as well as several restaurants and cafe-bars. It is a thriving, authentic French town and comes all the more to life in the summer months, even boasting its own festival in August. The area around the town offers many opportunities for walking and cycling with many interesting villages and the Canal du Midi is just a short bike ride away. In the park in Olonzac, there are tennis courts and a boulodrome.

 A 10 minute walk will take you to Homps, where you will find the Canal du Midi, which offers lots of opportunities for walking, cycling or a boat trip as well as relaxing with a drink in one of the many cafes watching the passing boats. The Mediterranean beaches at Gruissan or Narbonne Plage 30km offer a wide range of water sports including wind-surfing, sailing and diving. Staying in the heart of the Minervois wine region, wine-lovers will find numerous chateaux and ´domaines´ offering wine-tastings.

If beautiful historical buildings are more your interest, you should enjoy visits to the ancient city of Minerve - a former Cathar stronghold, the medieval city of Carcassonne with its 52 turrets, Narbonne with its cathedral, archbishop´s palace and famous indoor market, Beziers and the staircase of 9 locks on the Canal du Midi at Fontseranes, the abbeys of Fontfroide and Lagrasse, and the Cathar castles.

Restaurants - Olonzac has a number of reasonably-priced restaurants all within walking distance, and just down the road in Homps there is a further good selection of restaurants with different types of food on offer. Supermarket - the nearest supermarket is just on the edge of town and there´s another one at La Redorte - just 10 minutes drive.
