Domaine de Maran is an ancient family wine estate. The main building was rebuilt at the beginning of the XIXth century on a site inhabited since the XIIIth century. You arrive through a two hectare park, where you can hear the song of the cicadas sheltered in the hundred-year-old Mediterranean trees while the walkways, swimming-pool, ornamental lake and rose garden will catch your eyes. You are free to enjoy access the park of estate, but please note, we do not accept young children or pets. Located between the Pyrenees Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea in the heart of the Languedoc region, famous for its cultural heritage and wine-growing. The Cité de Carcassonne (the tremendous medieval Gallo-Roman walled city build on a rocky spur) and the Canal du Midi, both included on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997, are just 4 km away. The vineyards of the Corbieres and Minervois dominate the area, while highlighting the famous cathar castles.
