Maison Marcelin is named for Marcelin Albert, considered the leader of the winegrowers revolt of 1907 & the "Robin Hood" of the Languedoc-Roussillon. A metal sculpture in his honor was placed across the street in 2007 to celebrate the independent spirit of this area. Maison Marcelin is a 200-year-old village house that was fully renovated in 1999 after the record-breaking November flood. A plausible story has the house as the stable for the one behind it. Looking at the layout of the two, those with a whimsical side may be persuaded. Perhaps the stock was kept on the ground floor, the tack and equipment on the first, and the stable hands slept on the top. The kitchen was completely renovated in 2012. Villeneuve les Corbieres is foremost a working wine-producing village, but tourism is on the upswing, so there is always a warm welcome for visitors ready to smile and relax.
