Oenology attracts many visitors to south-west France, and some rightly stop off at Château Grand Moulin. They have the opportunity to discover the great wines of the Corbières for a few hours. They can taste a few vintages and buy the bottles they've been dreaming of! The commune boasts a well-preserved historical heritage, perfectly illustrated by the Church of Saint Félix de Gérone. This place of worship boasts an impressive bell tower and remarkable gilded wooden statues. This Southern Gothic-style building is a must-see. For a unique experience, we invite you to visit the parachuting centre in Lézignan-Corbières. The view from the sky over the ponds and the Pyrenees is simply breathtaking! While this activity will delight adults, another family pastime is always a big hit in the commune. Hiking is a great way to stretch your legs and discover some picture-postcard scenery. A trail called the Pinède Saint Jaumes invites you to get away from it all in the shade of the pine trees, while the Chemin des écoliers is just as accessible and takes you past some superb vineyards.
