Fleury - fortified village
The village of Fleury, which lies in the sunny south of France in the department of the Aude in Languedoc-Roussillon, is a charming old fortified village with many traditional features. Set amid the vineyards of France's biggest wine producing region, Fleury is also halfway between the Mediterranean Sea and the dramatic Cevennes Mountains, offering a kaleidoscope of landscapes as well as a wealth of activities and points of interest.

Quaint charm
Fleury is full of quaint charm, having narrow cobbled streets and ancient houses, their stones and shutters bleached by centuries of hot southern sun. The old chateau, that overlooks the little town from its lofty position on a hill, is sadly decaying, but it is still possible to see many original features.

Shops, bars and restaurants
Fleury is a thriving living village, and it offers all the usual shops and services as well as plenty of luxuries such as bars and restaurants. There are also numerous activities available in the village and the locality, and with many sports such as tennis, swimming, golf, horse-riding and adventure sports on offer, there is no excuse for inactivity! However, if you prefer a less taxing pursuit, perhaps you would enjoy availing yourself of the opportunity to boost your knowledge of the local wines by visiting the vineyards and tasting the excellent produce.
