In the heart of the Minervois village of Paraza, Maison de la Mairie invites guests to experience the warmth and character of a fully renovated family home. With pretty green shutters, original architectural details and relaxed interiors, this is a place where modern comfort meets traditional village life.
Spanning three floors, the house offers flexible accommodation with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Mornings begin with coffee around the central island or a gentle breakfast beneath the vine-covered terrace. Later, cool off in the courtyard swimming pool, unwind on a sun lounger or dine al-fresco beside the gas barbecue. Indoors, high-speed fibre Wi-Fi and Smart TVs provide entertainment and there’s even table football to keeps younger guests occupied.
Just 250m from the house, a village shop and café provide fresh croissants and other essentials. A short walk leads to the banks of the Canal du Midi, where tree-lined towpaths, waterside cafés and cycling trails invite hours of easy adventure. Nearby Ventenac offers a bakery and renowned wine outlet, while the market town of Narbonne, just 19km away, is a hub of culture, cuisine and Mediterranean energy. A little further afield, the Languedoc coastline and Carcassonne are both wonderful day trips.
With its authentic charm, courtyard swimming pool and village location, Maison de la Mairie is an ideal base for relaxed holidays in the South of France.
- Despite the village setting a short walk from a shop and cafes, a car is essential to be able to stock up in supermarkets and fully explore the surrounding region.
- Bike hire is also very much recommended for glorious rides along the Canal du Midi and beyond.
