The largest fortified medieval city in Europe, it stands magnificent on its hill 150 metres above the river Aude. Restored in the last century, it is a dream of the perfect medieval city with its three kilometres of ramparts, thirty-five defensive towers, its moat, Viscount\'s castle and basilica. Floure is situated in the Minervois, an area well known for its excellent wine. Chateau de Floure offers a magnificent restaurant set in beautiful grounds. To the south of the village lie the Corbieres, a scarcely populated range of hills well worthy of exploration. To the north rise the Montagne Noire and the National Park, the last bastion of the Massif Central. Several historic cathedral cities are within easy reach, including Montpellier, Beziers, Castres, Albi, Narbonne, Perpignan, Toulouse and St. Pons de Thomieres. Access to the autoroute is at Trèbes 3 miles away, and from there it is a quick drive to Narbonne and the Mediterranean beaches at Gruissan and Narbonne Plage – or a 90-minute drive to Toulouse.
