We had a lovely stay in Embres-et-Castelmaure. This small and quiet town has a fantastic winery (Castelmaure) which we visited and enjoyed during a wine tasting and also having dinner at its own restaurant. The area is full of other wineries, so it is a great destination for wine lovers. We were lucky to be part of the local sardinade, where around 300 people from town and around joined together to have a lovely dinner (ham and melon, sausages, sardins, ice cream, local wine). In mid-july there are plenty of small towns and villages celebrating local fétes, markets and vide-greniers. Moreover, the beach (Leucate) is 35 minutes by car (not too far away, but the roads are tricky). We have several great beach days, with great water temperature and not too many people. Port of Leucate has lots of places to eat seafood (mainly oysters and moules). Last, many thanks to Clemence and her family for her hospitality. Great stay.
