More about
Assignan
Assignan is an ancient village
first mentioned in 936. Today there are approx. 140 inhabitants
and the village has a post office and a variety of daily visiting
shops. There is also a communal tennis court which can be used
for a small fee. Saint-Chinian,
which is only a short drive away, provides all the shops and
restaurants.
Just a short walk from l'Arramon
you can find a number of wineries, all of which produce excellent
wine (some organic and even biodynamic!), which can be tasted
and bought locally. The endless vineyards give rhythm and colour
to the undulating hills and valleys throughout the year, from
pale green in the spring to the russet and gold colours of the
autumn.
A little further down the road
you will find marked walks, which explore the wonderful open
countryside which surrounds Assignan.
With its calm and tranquil atmosphere,
Assignan is ideally placed for a relaxing holiday, exploring
the surrounding garrigue, enjoying the local wine or venturing
further afield to explore all the Midi has to offer. |
