Limoux is a thriving local community and the majority of the homes in the area are owned by people who live and work in the area. Throughout the year there are festivals of all kinds which are run for the entertainment of the locals rather than being outright tourist attractions. In the main there is no charge and no contributions for all these events apart from taking part and enjoying them. You can expect the warmest of welcomes wherever you go, and you will find simple politeness goes a long way here. Bonjour Monsieur/Madame Merci S'il vous plait There are a couple of phrase books in the house please return them after use. The town boasts a number of good restaurants as well as large selection of Café bars. The wide choice of shops mean you do not have to leave the town for any reason but then you would miss everything that this amazing area has to offer. If you like sparkling wine try the Blanquette Limoux everyone who visits say how much they like it. To set you on the right path you will find a complimentary bottle awaiting you in the fridge. Santé! (Health) There are four Supermarkets on the outskirts of town (Intermarche & L'Clerc) on the road towards Carcassonne and another two (Supermarchè &Lidl) on the road towards Quillen & Perpignan. All are generally open until 7pm. If you have never visited a supermarket in France before you will be amazed the range is extensive, the products are fresh and the smell of good wholesome food is something that is sadly no longer available in UK Supermarkets. Alternatively use the variety of other smaller shops in the town and buy your food from the local businesses which are predominately family owned. Good way of improving your language skills and you will be blending in just nicely although you will in most cases have to use cash. Friday is the Market Day and the different markets areas are located in the town centre. For further information visit the Limoux website.
