Lezignan is a wine-producing village at the gateway to Minervois.

The region of the Minervois, crossed by the Canal du Midi, is a region of vineyards and olive groves. In the surrounding area, historic, scenic and cultural sites abound. There are many nearby areas of historic (and even prehistoric) interest, easily reached by car. There are the famous Cathare fortresses, Chateaux de Lastours and Queribus. Nearby Carcassonne is the largest walled city in Europe, the fascinating 'La Cité', where, at least in story, the heroic chatelaine defied the siege of Charlemagne. Despite its fairy tale appearance, Carcassonne has all the conveniences of a modern city with shops of every kind, supermarkets, cinemas and an abundance of fine restaurants. Below the imposing fortifications is Ville Basse, the "low town." Here the open market offers wonderful seasonal produce, fruits, vegetables, flowers, regional cheeses, smoked fresh meats and the delicious locally bred duck. Regional busses make the short trip from Carcassonne to Caunes-Minervois several times each dayrants. East to the Mediterranean rolls a 40 mile plain of vines and orchards. To the south rears the mighty barrier of the Pyrénnées, dividing France and Spain; west lies Toulouse and the Atlantic. North are rugged and mountainous forests of pine, chestnut, beech and oak, much of which is public and ideal for hiking and mountain biking. Take a picnic, your bathing suit and a bucket and spade. An hour away laps the warm, azure waters of the Mediterranean, and wide, sandy, uncrowded beaches. There are lovely sand dunes to stroll along, boat trips, swimming, game fishing and all manner of water sports available. The beaches of this area have won many awards for their cleanliness and "child-friendliness."s.
