ABOUT GINESTAS AND SURROUNDING AREA Ginestas is in the extreme south-east of the Minervois in the territory known as "Les Serres". It sits close to the crossroads of the two major road axes which cross the Minervois : St. Pons to Narbonne and Béziers to Carcassonne. Ginestas has its own coat of arms displaying a branch of broom in gold under the royal Fleur de Lys. The name of Ginestas comes from the Latin for the flowering shrub known in English as ‘broom’. Early reference to its name dates from 955. |
 |
It is
1.5km from Le Somail, the port of Ginestas, on the Canal du Midi
(constructed during the mid 1600's and now a UNESCO world heritage
site), which harbours lots of house boats, and boats to rent: Also
in the village is a huge second hand book shop; art shops, restaurants,
a café, and a hat museum. To the north, a mere 20 minutes drive is Minerve which straddles two river gorges, and is the site of an infamous siege of Simon de Montford's that resulted in the burning of heretic Cathars. The famous red wine of the region resonates the potent mix of history and dramatic landscape of garrigue and gorges. |
