Birthplace of Marcelin Albert (1851-1921), cafe owner and winegrower considered the leader of the revolt of the winegrowers of the South in 1907, Argeliers takes place in the heart of Narbonnais, on the banks of the Canal du Midi. It is located in the Narbonne attraction area, not far from Montouliers, Bize-Minervois and Mirepeisset.

This rural town, which takes its name from its clay soil, is attractive for its proximity to some of the most beautiful towns in the region. Visitors can also admire an interesting architectural heritage in the typical style of the region.

Things to see and do

Partially listed as a Historic Monument in the 1950s for its fireplace on the first floor, the castle of Argeliers is mentioned from the middle of the 12th century. Heavily affected by the wars of religion, it was largely rebuilt at the beginning of the 17th century. Property of the monks of Quarante until the Revolution, the building still reveals today a square tower and old surrounding walls.

When passing through the town, don't forget to take a trip to the Saint-Vincent church.
