Le Petit Charme is a 1200-square foot circa 1870 winegrower's cottage and barrel barn with mature Mediterranean-style garden, heated pool, sunning/lounging areas, and outdoor dining terrace and courtyard.

Situated in the Minervois wine region, the cottage is designed to reflect its viticultural history. The cream-colored walls of the Wine Cottage and Barrel Barn change hue with the glorious South of France light, complementing a ‘harvest’ palette of ochre, red, orange, purple, gold, silver and bronze contemporary and antique furnishings. Floors of modern and antique tiles ground the interesting mix of decorative items of glass, mirror, wood and metal – many of which are vintage winemaking and agricultural items -- adorn the space.

Summary: The wine cottage was the perfect home base for our stay in the south of France and exploring the rich history of the area. The cottage is just as advertised with two quiet bedrooms, two full baths, two full kitchens and plenty of space to relax (all fully air conditioned). The outdoor space with pool was ideal for sipping wine after our many day trips. Groceries were just a short car ride away from either Homps or Lezignan-Corbieres. After taking the train from Paris to Narbonne and picking up our rental car, we were met at the cottage by the property manager who showed us the ins and outs and offered helpful insight of the area. Twice we dined at the local restaurant along the Canal du Midi and had a great experience. From our home base we explored the quaint villages of Minerve and Lagrasse, the many Cathar castle ruins, Grotte de Limousis (cave), the walled Cite de Carcassonne, Pont du Gard, the beaches of the Mediterranean Sea and were able to observe the harvesting of the grapes in early September. The wine cottage has all the amenities one needs for a relaxing vacation and I would highly recommend it for two couples or a family.
