Small village of Aude, on the banks of the Canal du Midi, Homps takes place on the shores of Lake Jouarres, about thirty kilometers from the city of Carcassonne. Limitrophe of the department of Herault, it is not far from Olonzac, Pepieux or Beaufort.
Formerly a place of passage of tin in the third century before Christ, the village of Homps was one of the places of important steps of the old Roman road between the Corbières and the Minervois. Also a long time high place of wine transport, it has always lived to the rhythm of its port and its boaters. The completion of the Canal du Midi at the end of the seventeenth century allowed him especially to experience an economic boom of great importance.
Always a place of production of great wines such as Minervois (AOC), Languedoc (AOC) or Coteaux-de-peyriac, the town of Homps also attracts visitors with its special charm, its landscapes and its cultural heritage.
