The Corbieres is a beautiful unspoilt corner of southern France bordered by the Canal du Midi to the north, the long sandy beaches of the Mediterranean to the east and the snow capped Pyrenees to the south. The evocative ruins of the Cathar castles such as Queribus and Peyrepetuse, perched high above the surrounding countryside, are a constant reminder that the Corbieres was the feudal stronghold of the Albigensian martyrs.
Viticulture forms the backbone of the region's economy.
