My husband Steve and I visit our lovely home annually, and each time we come, we learn something new about this lovely town and region. Capendu has some fabulous wines and I encourage you to visit Le Terroir Cave on the main road where you can taste some of the best wines of the region.
Our favourite beach is Leucate Plage, and nearby Franqui, while driving there, take a detour to Bages, a gorgeous little hilltop village overlooking a lake.
Make sure you allocate a full day or more to explore the domineering Cathar castles and if you don't want to drive to this area, we encourage you to go to Lastours which is not far from Capendu.
We have a wonderful supermarket, Intermarche, 5 minutes from the house and a fully stocked pharmacy.
