Description
In the Minervois midway between the beautiful cities of Narbonne and Carcassonne close by the Canal du Midi. Black Mountains to the north, Pyrenees to the south, beautiful beaches to the East, there really is so much to do here. I bought a bakery and am turning it into a craft brewery, with little help from the dog and two cats. That keeps me really busy so the gardening and building renovations (mainly just painting and decorating actually) are getting neglected. Also, lots of my customers speak English so my French isn't improving. If you can help out with any of these, or want to learn how to brew, this is a wonderful place to be! Lac de Jouarres, (swim/kayak/sunbathe) 15 minute walk. Minerve - ancient fortified capital and amazing geology 60 minute cycle. Mediaeval Carcassonne 22 minutes (1€) by train. Roman (and modern) Narbonne 13 minutes (1€) by train. Canal du Midi - 5 minute walk. Homps has 8 restaurants and a supermarket open 7 days a week! Olonzac has restaurants, shops, bars and a weekly market
