Local Information

Ventenac sits alongside the famous Canal du Midi, a World Heritage site that was constructed in the 1600's to link the Atlantic coast to the Mediterranean. It is beautifully tree-lined with a wide tow-path for walking or cycling. The canal has recently been the feature of TV chef Rick Stein's culinary boat trip!
Ventenac (population 482) lies 20 minutes north of Narbonne deep among the Minervois vineyards.

Further shops, restaurants and cafés in neighboring Ginestas and St Nazaire.
