Caunes-Minervois
Aude · France
Red marble quarried here since Roman times has surfaced in some of France's grandest buildings, and the village's eighth-century abbey anchors a well-preserved medieval centre in the Aude. Caunes-Minervois sits in the Minervois wine country of southern France, with a pocket-sized but real café and restaurant scene for a village of its size. The wider area falls within the Pays Cathare region, and the ruined castle at nearby Minerve draws visitors with an interest in the Albigensian Crusade.
