Saint-Hilaire

Saint-Hilaire owes its fame to two things - its magnificent Abbey (where you can find some great master carvings of Cabestany) and the most famous sparkling wine of Southern France: "The Blanquette de Limoux". Strolling through its small, narrow streets is a delight and, if you can, try to go to some of the shops where you can taste the oldest sparkling wine in the world, with the permission of champagne ;-). Located in the picturesque and beautiful valley of LAUQUET, it owes its creation to the abbey founded in the VIII century. Saint Hilaire is another recommendation if you visit "Cathar" and
