An abbey in the heart of the Corbières
Set amidst the vineyards and rolling hills typical of the Corbières region, Lagrasse is crossed by the River Orbieu, spanned by a bridge linking the village and its 14th-century market halls to its abbey, an architectural gem from the medieval period. A village renowned for its Corbières wine, Lagrasse is also a village of craftsmanship, which the local artisans will be delighted to help you discover.
A Lagrasse Legend
Fairies feature prominently in the legends of the Corbières. In Lagrasse, by the streams or at the wash houses, the ‘fées-mitounes’ beat the washing on full moon nights. Woe betide the wayward traveller who might try to help them or succumb to their charms: they would be whisked away for good into the other world...!
