The village of Poilhes is divided in half by the Canal du Midi, which was built in the mid-1600's. The house is in the oldest part of the village situated to one side of the canal. On this side on the road above the canal is a wine cave with a wide choice of wines from the region and an excellent restaurant serving haute cuisine. A store with fresh fruit and vegetables and other basic goods and a bar/restaurant with home cooking are also a few steps away.
On a warm day, take a slow boat ride or bicycle along the tow paths and visit many other villages along the canal. Beziers, renowned for its flower market and festival in August is 15 minutes as well as Narbonne, with its Cathedral, Roman remains, and market. The Mediterranean is similarly close, with many miles of fine bathing on sandy beaches. For those with a fascination for the castles, Cathars, and stunning scenery, sights include Carcassonne, within easy driving as is Minerve, a village astride two deep gorges.
