Visit the Wine Cellars

The cellars of Sieur d’Arques in Limoux are to the Languedoc what Reims is to Champagne.
We are the inventors of bubbles. This is undeniable !

The cellars of Maury. More discreet, they bear the Roussillon accent where the sweet gentle wines meet the oaky deep reds. A real discovery.

Sportive

For the thrill seekers, there are all kinds of wild watersports, such as rafting, hydrospeed and canyoning. Fishermen can enjoy fishing for trout in rivers or mountain lakes. The cyclists amongst you may experience the classics of the Tour de France with outstanding mountain passes or the most bold mountain bikers can discover the marked pathways or come off the cliff roads to explore the back country.
Hikers can stroll or climb up the Canigou, Carlit or other peaks and climbers can test their nerve on the rock faces of the gorges of the Pierre Lys. In winter the superb snow can be a joy to both young and old
on the ski slopes at 2400 meters. And to finish, motorbike riders will be delighted to cruise along the mountain roads of the Roussillon region.
