About Quarante

Quarante is a quite village which nestles in between bountiful vineyards in southern France. The surrounding romantic Mediterranean countryside provides vistas of vineyards, fruit orchards and olive groves. Some tourists are inspired by the picture postcard landscapes, others fall in love with the meandering medieval streets of the village, some just love the laid back Mediterranean lifestyle which has a way of seducing even the most hardened city dweller. Maybe the secret here is that people have the time to enjoy life!! You will no doubt find your own private reasons for loving romantic Quarante.

Hiking

The walking around Quarante is wonderful whether it is a stroll through the village or walking in the vineyards, orchards and magnificent scenery of the Mediterranean countryside. Take time to notice the stone walls and bridges some of which date back to roman times. Wild flowers, herbs and fruit abound and depending on the season you will see bright red poppies, large plump figs, almonds, delicious blackberries and of course the heady scent of wild thyme which smothers the countryside as do wild cherries in season and many brightly colored flowers.

Dining

All fine dining experiences in the Quarante area offers great regional cuisine. Several of the local restaurants have outdoor terraces in summer where you can sit surrounded by romantic ambiance.

Exploring the Region

Go exploring: this really is one of our passions! Quarante is in a central location close to many wonderful attractions. The scenery is beautiful from winding mountain roads to exploring the tiny streets of ancient villages clinging to hillsides and the mountains and valleys themselves where you can walk and picnic. As well as getting off the beaten track there are the well known attractions such as The Roman village of Minerve ( 30 minutes), Abbey de Frontfroide (20 minutes), Carcassonne and fortified city of 'La Cite" (the largest in Europe, 20 minutes) and the beaches of the Mediterranean (40 minutes). Plus you have the cities of Narbonne, Bezier and Toulouse to explore.

Swimming and Sunbathing

The Mediterranean Sea offers beautiful white sand or beaches. Swim in the beautiful azure water or just enjoy sunbathing and relaxing. The Mediterranean Sea with all it’s beaches and fine seafood restaurants is only 45 minutes from Quarante.

Cycling

Cycling is a wonderful, healthy way to enjoy the scenic countryside of Langedoc. Glide leisurely thru the many vineyards, or cycle to the Canal du Midi and watch all the canal boats drift by. Enjoy watching the boats navigate thru the locks or stop in a small canal side village and enjoy a pastry or a romantic lunch. Sip on a fine glass of wine while you are relaxing at an outdoor seating café.
