Lézignan-Corbières

Discover local produce

You might not choose this destination for its gastronomy, but it has some lovely surprises in store for you! Indeed, it bears witness to the richness of Audoise cuisine. There's no shortage of good restaurants in the area, so you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to satisfying your taste buds at lunch or dinnertime. Start your meal with a delicious salad of duck gizzards. Big appetites won't go unappreciated with the cassoulet from Castelnaudary, an institution in the region. Other popular foods in Lézignan-Corbières are seafood, mainly fished on the Languedoc coast. You're sure to love a pan-fried fillet of sea bream or a whole lobster tail. If you'd like to share two very simple recipes with family and friends, cargolade and sardinade are a must. Fans of grilled snails won't forget the flavours of this first dish, while those who love sardines will also enjoy a delightful taste experience when they try this second culinary speciality! Finally, we invite you to discover two desserts during your holiday in the Aude. One is Mesturet, and the other is Pumpet, a mouth-watering rectangular puff pastry with lemon and butter.

There really is something for everyone in Lézignan-Corbières! The most accessible is undoubtedly hiking. Apart from good shoes, you won't need any equipment to go walking. We recommend the Chemin des Écoliers, a very pleasant route through magnificent vineyards, followed by the Pinède Saint-Jaumes with its enchanting scenery. Other attractive paths include a spillway at La Redorte, to the north-west of the commune, which you can walk around for a few hours. During your stay, you can also visit the Church of Saint Felix de Gerone, located in the historic centre of the town. The church is notable for its period furniture and imposing bell tower. The commune enjoys a notable aura among wine lovers in the Aude. It is home to the department's leading cooperative wine cellar, where you can taste local vintages and AOC wines. The Chai des Vignerons is also home to a reconstruction of a large whale that washed up on the coast of Port-la-Nouvelle more than 20 years ago. Port-la-Nouvelle. You'll no doubt feel very small in front of this huge skeleton!
