A simple camping on top of a mountain. Not too big. Perfect with little children. No luxury but just lots of nature. My almost 5 year old had a blast. The freedom he had here was so much fun.

We visited in early September and stayed longer than anticipated. Very well maintained campsite, the plants and trees around the garden and pitches are wonderful, so peaceful and relaxing. The family that run this site are lovely people. It is fairly remote but that suits us and if you don't want to eat out or cook every night Mireille runs what she calls a 'fast food service', it's much better than fast food, 3 or 4 evenings a week (I forget), salad and veg from their own garden! We will be returning.

Unplanned stop on this site. Hidden away in the middle of nowhere really but lovely and relaxing. Brilliant swimming pool and lovely facilities. Owners allowed us to use fridge to freeze ice packs. Great atmosphere on the day France luckily won the World Cup!! We paid 4 Euros more for a larger pitch. Overall recommended.

What a lovely place to stay, even for just a ling weekend. We will be back for longer nect time. Pool lovely, great facilities for little ones and a warm welcome for us adults at the snack bar.

Beautiful campsite in the middle of nature. During the night you can see millions of stars. For breakfast you can order croissants/pan de chocolate/baguettes.

Owners so pleasant and helpful.good eco sanitation system.showers,toilets and all washing facilities ,clean and good. Quiet and spacious pitches. Want to return as still so much to see in the area.

Domaine Le Vernis had been closed for a number of years and was bought over in 2012 by the Le Page family from Brittany. After an enormous amount of work and expense, they opened on the 1st of July and we were privilaged to be one of their first Guests. Well equipped with a Swimming Pool, Shop, Cafe, newly build & refurbished toilet/shower blocks and washing facilities, this gem of a site is situated in a beautiful part of France with the GR77, (Hiking route that connects historical Minerve with the Canal Du Midi), passing through the Campsite, and Vineyards, Caves, Restaurants and Shopping all within walking distance. Larger towns like Olonzac, Rieux Minervois, Carcassonne and Narbonne are a short drive away. Well worth a visit.

Lovely, intense wines and friendly people! We've visited twice while on holiday and will visit again shortly to buy fresh supplies for our modest wine rack.

A very warm welcome and detailed explanations of the various stages of the winemaking process were provided. A very pleasant tasting in a beautiful, tastefully furnished cellar.

(Translated by Google) Didier and Martine did a tasting of their wines for our group of 60 people on the occasion of a birthday, FREE service reserved in advance. They made a garage available opposite their cellar to receive us, and had provided cheese plates. We were received like kings with quality wines offered and explanations for each of the wines. Considering the number of boxes purchased by the group, the wine is really great, for a very reasonable price. They even delivered the boxes directly to the estate where we were staying (20 minutes' drive) to save us having to carry them to the car park! Didier and Martine pass on their passion and they are exceptionally kind! The little extra, they are located in the center of Minerve, which allows those who do not drink wine to visit the city while waiting. This producer was recommended to me for this price range by the Minervois de Homps wines. Thank you for this great performance!!

Ils ont même livré les cartons directement au domaine où nous logions ( à 20 minutes de route) pour nous éviter de les porter jusqu'au parking !Didier et Martine transmettent leur passion et ils sont d'une gentillesse exceptionnelle ! Le petit plus, ils se trouvent en plein centre de Minerve, ce qui permet à ceux qui ne boivent pas de vin de visiter la cité en attendant .

(Translated by Google) The museum has been around for 37 years. I was there as a child in the 90s and still enjoy coming here. The miniature scenes are lovingly made and show the brutality of the crusade against the Cathars. At reception you will receive texts in different languages ​​that explain the scenes. It's a shame there are so few visitors. The museum is simply part of Minerve. There is no entry fee for children, €3.50 for adults. (Original) Das Museum gibt es schon seit 37 Jahren.

We ordered 2 crepes with ham and egg. We got one with ham and Emmentaler cheese and one with ham only. I complained on the one with ham only. After a native french speaking person, who overheard my ordering, she took it back and put an almost raw egg on it. On my complaint she re-cooked the same crepe a third time. The crepe was completely dry, leather like and burned. Avoid this place!

Lovely, small restaurant run by a very kind and hard working lady. Her galette with cheese, bacon and egg was amazing!

Tasty crepes. Had hot chocolate also which was a bit cool but no problem getting it heated up. 11 euro for two crepes coffee and hot chocolate. Minerva is a pretty place. Nothing much happening in early December so glad to find this creperie.

The proprietor was very friendly and service was excellent. Tucked away up a side street behind the main pizzeria. Food delicious. Highly recommended! Thank you for such a lovely evening!

Wonderful place on the rue dès martyrs. Crepes are fresh, filling and tasty. The ambience is quaint french and sparkling clean!

Super little lunch stop. My dad even said the best crêpe he’s ever had!

Good crepes serviced by a nice lady. Perfect after visiting the village

We had the most wonderful lunch today at the restaurant Aux 2 Rivières, located in the stunning village of Minerve. The restaurant is perched at the tip of a rocky spur, offering a breathtaking view overlooking the confluence of the Cesse and Brian rivers and the Malvoisine. • It was the perfect Easter lunch. We sat on the most beautiful patio, soaking in the incredible scenery while enjoying the most colorful, delicious dishes. • One of the standout moments of the meal was an appetizer that completely took us by surprise. A roulé of carrots, deglazed with Grand Marnier, served with a silky cashew cream and a drizzle of pomegranate molasses, accompanied by fresh cheese from Vieulac flavored with ginger, lemon, and thyme. Who knew that something as humble as a carrot could be elevated to such elegance and depth of flavor? It was vibrant, aromatic, and beautifully balanced. Each bite was like a little revelation. • We fully embraced the slow, joyful pace of southern French living with a leisurely three-hour meal marked by fresh, vibrant cuisine, unexpected yet delightful flavor combinations, and warm, attentive service. • Glasses of wine came and went, conversation flowed, and we ended the meal with a digestif in true local fashion. It was one of those rare experiences that feels both indulgent and grounding, a beautiful memory in the making. • MERCI!

Had lunch here with a group of six people and we were not let down at all. We had four Menu Lo Roc and two ordered from the regular menu, all of the dishes served were exquisite and delicious. The service was fast and very professional, even accommodating for our nut and peanut allergies. The view from the outdoor seating area is absolutely breathtaking and if you can get a table near the view I would recommend taking it. The prices aren’t exactly cheap but quality of the food and beautiful scenery and views makes it worth it. If you are in Minerve and looking for a delicious meal and great view, Aux 2 Rivières is your best option.

Last visited 2 years ago an, if anything, it has improved further. This is an exceptional location with wonderful food, lovely service and an experience to remember. On a dry day, a meal on the terrace is an event to enjoy and make a detour for. Both the quality of food and presentation are exemplary. The hosts are very tolerant and helpful to English speakers who are not confident with the French language. I will visit every time i return to this part of France.

This is a new location. Superb posion of a terrace overlooking the two gorges from this ancient village. Recently renovated ancient building with eating inside and out. Very warm welcome. Food was good - little amuse bouche to start then goats cheese layered with smoked trout. Magret de canard nicely cooked. Lime mouse with red fruits. Lovely Ch de Fauzan red wine.

We were planning our visit and inquired as to vegetarian options for a friend. They were very quick to respond in the positive so we made a reservation. We arrived just as they opened and were seated on the terrace with a wonderful view. The food was perfect and the accompanying wines were very good. We will not hesitate to recommend this restaurant and plan to return, with a reservation, when we are showing off this region to our visitors.

Our first time here and a place we always wanted to go .. fortunately the day offered beautiful sunshine for lunch on the terrace and the meal didn’t disappoint. Options of a set menu or a la cart made it easy for our small group .. service and food were excellent with a great selection of local and regional wine to chose from .. definitely worth a visit and also experience the magnificent view from the terrace

Beautiful setting in Minerve for this fantastic restaurant. The food was amazing and the accompanying wines all local and beautifully paired with the food. We have eaten here on many an occasion and always have friendly and attentive service. We hope to be back again before too long! Thank you for a fantastic evening!

The restaurant is stunningly good, a faultless food experience. They get everything just right including small things such as the bread. I particularly loved the 20 hour pork. You get a genuine warm welcome, perfect service and reasonable prices all in one of the most beautiful medieval villages in France.

This place was stunning. You leave your car in the big car park and walk down the hairpin bend towards A tiny medieval village built into the craggy rocks above a breathtaking gorge. A lovely terrace on the edge overlooking the gorge with eagles circling on the other side, falcons, swallows, house-martins…. The wine was delicious and so affordable compared to uk prices (€26 for a beautiful Viognier. The food was fantastic and we thought it was going to be too much (the €49 menu but it was perfect with a little taster ‘mise-en-Bouche’ of fresh asparagus purée and mini vegetable flan type thing in a spoon, a goats cheese olive bready chive starter, a mouth-watering 24 hour cooked pig dish followed by a caramelly apple verbena mint sorbet dessert. The waitress was lovely and Nicolas who runs it/and chefs it was super lovely. This place is top marks!!!

Visited during low season (March) and arrived late at night by car. The manager was very kind and even parked our car for us as it was a little difficult. Such a warm welcome! The restaurant was superb too. Rooms are simple but the water pressure is surprisingly strong. Didn't expect such a high-quality breakfast too, with home-made bread that they refilled! Thank you for the great stay.

Can only echo the comments of the rest of the reviews. The food is excellent and service very good.

Just amazing! Had lunch with my husband after visiting this wonderful village. The food, the service and the decor were perfect. In the summer, it must be very nice to eat outdoors with the spectacular views. We highly recommend this place and the village is a must see as well.

Beautiful meal in a spectacular setting. Totally memorable

This is a truly rare find. We have been dining here now on and off probably for more than ten years and yet the food and service remains absolutely impeccable. The restaurant has one of the most profoundly beautiful locations it is possible to find. Breathtaking and we have never been disappointed and long to come back yet again, which must be real proof of the quality of this restaurant. A really great selection of local wines and the food, Oh La La! Next time the 8 course tester menu! Absolutely superb.

good food for a reasonable price. top service

I wish you but also your 2 other sisters every success for the years to come even if the current context is not easy. However, your restaurant is a source of pride for this small village but also for the people who come there to share a moment of conviviality with the right people!!!

Rien à dire, un superbe restaurant ou on est sûre de bien manger grâce a une cuisine faite avec amour avec des portions très correct! Petite aparté. L'une des 3 sœurs qui tiens le restaurant m'avait l'air assez malheureuse du à pas mal d'événements depuis 2020..... je vous souhaite à vous mais aussi à vos 2 autres sœurs pleins de réussite pour les années à venir même si le contexte actuelle n'est pas facile. Néanmoins votre restaurant est une fierté pour ce petit village mais aussi pour les gens qui y viennent partager un moment de convivialité avec la bonne personnes !!! En espérant que votre affaire continue de porter des fruits pour longtemps ❤ Recommande les yeux fermé 👍

(Translated by Google) While passing through Occitania, we ate very well in this restaurant with a charming setting. Listening to people, like me, who have food allergies.

If you are in the area it is definitely worth a look (Original) Voor onze autovakantie naar portugal hebben wij een omweg genomen door een aantal afgesloten wegen.

We started off in Minerve, hiked through the river tunnels and up the gorge and back. Had lunch in the city as well. Wonderful day trip. Would highly recommend it. There is a circular route for the more adventurous and enough for a short easy hike as well.

(Translated by Google) A unique place that's well worth it because it's a 20-minute walk. But what a joy to be able to swim in the stream's waterfalls... (Original) Lieu unique qui se mérite car 20 min de marche. Mais quel bonheur de pouvoir se baigner dans des cascades du ruisseau...

It costs nothing but a little sweat, and a little paradise awaits you at the finish. (Original) Hammer! Wer Abkühlung sucht, und bereit ist ca. 1km vom Parkplatz aus zu marschieren, wird reich belohnt. Kostet nichts außer etwas Schweiß und am Ziel wartet das kleine Paradies auf Dich.

(Translated by Google) We wholeheartedly recommend a visit and the "Circuit de Minerve" hike. Here are some tips for the hike: Start early, when it's not too hot yet. Be sure to pack sun protection (hat, cap, sunscreen). Also bring plenty of water to drink. There are no refreshment stops along the way. We hiked the route in hiking boots, which proved to be a good idea. A towel is a good idea for the beautiful watering holes on the Brian River. Walk the route as described, which means starting from the parking lot, follow the access road away from the village. Pay attention to the yellow markers (unfortunately, they're a bit small). The first half is generally a steady uphill climb. There's no shade! So, once again, we recommend bringing plenty of water! Between points 5 and 6, we took the dashed path on the map. It was worth it. The watering holes on the Brian River, in particular, were beautiful and a great refreshment! You have great views of the rocks of the gorge, and the second half of the hike is particularly entertaining. The hike is rated as moderately difficult. However, in extreme heat (as in our case), the circuit can be quite challenging. We highly recommend the hike, even if the initial section (the first half of the route) is a bit tough. Minerve marks the end of the tour. Here, you can relax and recover from the hike in one of the cafés. (Original) Uneingeschränkte Empfehlung für einen Besuch und die Wanderung „Circuit de Minerve“. Hier einige Tipps zur Wanderung: Unbedingt früh starten, wenn es noch nicht zu heiß ist. Unbedingt Sonnenschutz (Hut, Mütze, Sonnencreme) einpacken. Auch genügend Wasser zum Trinken mitnehmen. Unterwegs gibt es keine Einkehrmöglichkeit. Wir sind die Strecke mit Wanderschuhen gelaufen, was sich bewährt hat. Ein Handtuch ist für die schönen Wasserstellen des Brian sinnvoll. Tour wie ausgeschrieben laufen, das heißt, vom Parkplatz entlang der Zufahtsstrasse erst einmal vom Ort weg. Auf die gelben Markierungen (leider etwas klein) achten. Die erste Hälfte führt i.d.R. stetig bergauf. Es gibt keinen Schatten! Somit hier noch einmal der Hinweis auf genügend Getränke! Zwischen Punkt 5 und 6 haben wir den auf der Karte gestrichelten Weg eingeschlagen. Das hat sich gelohnt. Vor allem die Wasserstellen am Brian waren wunderschön und eine tolle Erfrischung! Man hat tolle Aussichten auf die Felsen der Schlucht und gerade die zweite Hälfte der Wanderung ist sehr kurzweilig. Die Wanderung ist als mittelschwer gekennzeichnet. Bei großer Hitze (wie in unserem Fall) ist der Circuit aber durchaus etwas fordernd. Wir können die Wanderung uneingeschränkt empfehlen, auch wenn der Einstieg (erste Streckenhälfte) durchaus etwas zäh ist. Minerve bildet den Abschluss der Tour. Hier kann man sich in einem der Cafés gut von der Wanderung erholen.

What a lovely spot in Minerve. Lovely food Lovely staff, very friendly,even when busy the staff are smiling. We enjoyed our visit there and have returned 4 times. Each time we were not disappointed. They remembered us too. No hesitation in recommending.

We drove from Castelnaudary to the Cite’ to explore . Unfortunately it was raining but it didn’t dampen our experience. However all the restaurants were shut except this one , however it was exceptional . Nice welcome ,very laid back atmosphere ,and we didn’t come here for a pizza ,although they looked the very best I’ve seen. We chose the fixed price 3 course menu of the day and it was wonderful . Delicious home made soup, duck with orange vegetables and a roast pineapple with a cream and ice cream trimming . It was prepared to the highest standard . This place is a rare gem…Thankyou.

Pizza was really great in a beautiful setting. Highly recommend when visiting Minerve.

The view is mind blowing!!! Service was impeccable and pizza and wine were delish:)

Great pizzas

Stringy and tasteless beef tongue. Payment only by cash because there « is no network service » even though there is. Obviously, no atm in the city. Sloppy service with « witty » remarks

Beautiful location ……and this is where the story ends!!!!!!!!

Good food, good service, good everything but there's not enough on the plate. We are not big eaters but we left hungry

Lovely restaurant with very pleasant staff who were very helpful with a young child in our group who had a small injury. Food was great and local wine very enjoyable. Had the duck breast on a skewer cooked in a traditional stone oven and it was delicious. Would definitely recommend this place!

Lunch was very bad, we were a bit late and could only choose plat du jour or a tapas plate. Better not to serve customers anymore than with these dishes. It was not cheap at all for what we got.

Had several meals here this summer with family and always had a very pleasant experience. Good food and very friendly service. Would definitely recommend. Well done to all involved

Excellent food, great flavors. Very pretty patio and view.

A nice setting close to the bridge with a garden and indoor dining. Evetything on the menu is beautifully presented and also very tasty. I especially recommend the grilled octopus!

Amazing food, great location
