The area
The South of France lies at your feet. But coming back to the Moulin is every bit as good.
The Cité de Carcassonne and the Canal du Midi: both UNESCO World Heritage.
The region has fortresses from the time of the Cathars, bastide towns such as Mirepoix and Minerve, and the abbeys of Lagrasse and Fontfroide.
The Moulin itself stands on foundations more than 1000 years old.
The Cabardès and the Blanquette de Limoux. Restaurants from bistro to Michelin star, one 1.2 km away.
The Cabardès is an AOC with a mind of its own, where Atlantic and Mediterranean influences meet. Close by are Malepère, Limoux and Fitou; further away are the Minervois and the Corbières.
At Château Rives-Blanques there is a guided walk through the vineyards on Tuesday mornings, in Dutch too.
Bram has its market on Wednesdays. There are markets in Montolieu, Limoux and Carcassonne too.
The lake at Revel is perfect for a relaxed day. In the Pyrenees you can go rafting.
In the area you can go horse riding, paragliding, wakeboarding and karting, or climb in a climbing park near Carcassonne.
Trout in the basin and the river. Mostly birds, and with a little luck, deer.
The basin, the river and the surrounding waters are full of trout. On the estate you mostly hear birds, and with a little luck you will spot deer.
