Cournonsec: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
Culture
Cournonsec has partially preserved its medieval appearance and is surrounded by Mediterranean garrigue. The Château de Cournonsec was built as a hexagonal fortress on the site of the former Roman villa of Saint Giorgio and overlooks the Way of Saint James. The Protestant temple of Cournonsec was rebuilt in 1818. The present-day Saint-Christophe church could be the medieval Saint-Pierre church of Cournonsec. The washhouse was restored by the Les Amis du Lavoir association.
The landscape also tells of its former use: the clapas in the garrigue were created by clearing land for growing vines and olive trees. Tambourin is played in Cournonsec. The vineyards of the municipality of Cournonsec are considered worthwhile destinations to visit.
When planning a trip to Cournonsec, you may wish to focus on renting a holiday apartment.
Landscape
In the garrigue around Cournonsec, holm oaks and kermes oaks shape the landscape. At the height of Cournonsec, Boucle Cyclo No. 7 switches to quiet minor roads through vineyards and garrigue.
Cycling and Walks
Boucle Cyclo No. 7 follows a protected cycle path through Cournonsec. On walks through the region’s garrigues and vineyards, you come across capitelles, huts made of dry-stone walls.
The small dry-stone walls in the garrigues and vineyards were built by earlier generations and maintained over several generations.
