Further details
St Martin des Puits is in the heart of the dramatic scenery of the hills of the Corbieres, an area steeped in natural and cultural history, with the Cathar strongholds, perched precariously on rocky limestone outcrops. In the valley below the village is The River Orbieu and the Orbieu Gorge. But the area isn't all about history. Everywhere you drive there is evidence of a thriving present, with vineyards offering the opportunity to taste the wines of the area, from the Corbieres and Minervois wines to the famous Fitou and Rivesaltes - something for every taste and budget. As well as drinking well there are plenty of places to eat from cafes to posh restaurants and everything in between. For those who enjoy the outdoors the possibilities are endless from walking to VTT; from horse riding or swimming in either the sea or rivers, to sitting in the sunshine; the possibilities are endless. Lovers of flora and fauna will find plenty of interest especially in the Spring when the flowers are at their best and in the Autumn when the vines and trees change colour. We have produced a walks guide and a drives guide which are proving to be very popular with our visitors. For those who feel the need to travel a bit further afield, then Andorra is a possibility, driving through the southern Pyrenees. The Dali museum at Figueres via the museum of Modern Art at Ceret can be part of a day’s excursion. Collioure is a must for those interested in the Fauvust painters.
