Welcome in st-Laurent de la Cabrerisse
Amidst a magnificent landscape of vineyards, pine forests, olive trees and garrigue (Mediterranean scrubland), our village stretches along the river Nielle.
Ideally located between Carcassonne and its famous fortified cité and Narbonne with both a remarkable cathedral and relaxing beaches to offer, our village deserves its double “label” of “Gate of the Hautes Corbieres” as well as “ Heart of the Corbieres-Minervois country”.
You are only a few minutes away from Lagrasse, which abbey and middle-age cobbled streets have earned it a place on the list of France’s most beautiful villages. And there is plenty more to see : the abbeys of Fontfroide and Caunes Minervois are well worth a visit, not to forget the Cathar history of the region with the castles of Termes, Villerouge Termenes, Aquilair, Minerves and many more “vertigo citadels” all within a short drive of the village.
The Canal du Midi and the Cite of Carcassonne are both inscribed on the Unesco World Heritage List. They offer beautiful opportunities for a half-day or daytrip in the sun.
In Saint Laurent de la Cabrerisse, you will enjoy real village life, which finds its rhythm in the different seasons that go by. You will walk the garrigua listening to the crickets singing and discover that each step exults the fragrance of lavender, mixed with that of thyme and rosemary. Do not forget to look up in order not to miss the majestic flights of eagles, falcons and other birds of prey and then down again just in time to see a hare flee into the vineyards. Back to the village in the evening, you will be able to enjoy (with moderation !) white, rosé and red nectars, products of years of hard labour from generations of winemakers, active in this region since Antiquity. The wines we produce in Saint Laurent are part of the most famous terroir from the Corbieres, that of Boutenac.
This, in a nutshell, is the setting we offer for your holidays in the South of France.
