View of the Château d'Argens-Minervois

Highlight • Castle

From the Canal du Midi, the vision of the Château d’Argens emerges. This residence belonged to the lords of Sérame. Formerly known under the Roman name of Villa Arsegii, the imposing manor takes its name from the Latin argilla. Neighboring the castle is a geological site composed of sandstone and clay renowned for their quality which gives its name to the place.

Dominating the eponymous medieval village, this residence is rich in a history of more than 900 years.

Argent-Double Spillway

Highlight • Bridge

The Argent-Double spillway regulates the water level in the canal. It is a real work of art that deserves a stop to take a good look at its architecture and its environment!
