Nearest town: Narbonne

Comfortable 5 bedroom / 2 bathroom home in the beautiful village of Bize-Minervois, with river swimming in a natural pool a 2 minute stroll from the house.

Special features
Bize-Minervois is arguably the prettiest village in the renowned Minervois wine growing area. It is situated on the River Cesse – the house is only a 2 minute stroll from the river pool which provides unique safe swimming.

A natural swimming pool has been created within the bed of the river. There is a grassed area and a pebbled ‘beach’ and a life guard is only duty between 1.30 pm and 7 pm every day during the summer months. The water is tested by the local authorities and is constantly being refreshed as the river flows downstream. At the edge of the pool, there is a small creperie with seating.

Local activities
Local activities include river swimming, cycling, canoeing, walking, tennis, horse riding and boating. And of course many opportunities for wine tasting of local Minervois, Corbieres, and St Chinian wines!

Five bedrooms - three with double beds, two with two single beds in each.

The village is very well serviced. It has:

• 3 restaurants
• 2 general stores
• 2 hair salons
• wine shop
• butcher
• post office
• café/bar
• excellent bakery
• pharmacy
• beautician
• local cinema in the village hall
• medical centre

All are within a few minutes’ walk from the house.
