Exploring the village: Within an easy stroll from the house are two wine caves, a weaver’s studio, post office, pharmacy, bakery and a well-stocked small grocery store, which offers some English newspapers, for your everyday needs. Rumor has it that some of the staff of our favorite local restaurant in Aigne will be opening a restaurant in town after the first of the year. On Wednesday and Thursday mornings, mobile markets for fish and poultry are available at the central square. For additional needs, the nearby town of Olonzac has banks, restaurants, antique shops, bakeries, specialty shops, petrol, supermarkets, and a large Tuesday morning fresh food market.

If you crave warm sandy beaches, the Mediterranean is about 45 minutes by car, for swimming and windsurfing; Lac Jouarres is only 10 minutes drive. If you prefer the tranquility and beauty of the World Heritage Site, the Canal du Midi is easily accessible from many locations including the quaint canal side village of Homps where you may enjoy canal side dining or arrange a barge cruise to explore the 240 kilometer canal. The historic towns of Beziers, Narbonne, and the fairytale walled city of Carcassonne are 30 minutes from La Liviniere.
