Port Minervois Villa

The villa is in a gated estate in Homps, on the Canal du Midi between Carcassonne and Narbonne The name Homps comes from 'Adulmus', which is Latin for Elm.

The original settlement was a Roman villa, which belonged to a veteran of Julius Caesar's 10th legion. In 1123, Homps became a commanderie of the Knights of St John. The Knights' tower is still owned by the knights of Malta, who are are also involved in the local wine trade

The Canal du Midi was opened officially on May 15, 1681. Homps became a wine port, and Minervois wine was transported on the

canal from Port Minervois to Bordeaux. With the arrival of the railways, commercial traffic on the canal declined, and nowadays it is used by pleasure craft. The Canal du Midi became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996, and Résidence Port Minervois opened in 2006

Our tree has grown a lot in the 4 years since we last visited, and now provides plenty of shade in the afternoons. And the villa looks smart now the walls have been painted.
