Local Attractions
Durban Corbières is situated 35 km from Narbonne, 60 km from Carcassonne and Perpignan, 25 km from the sea and 120 km from the Pyrenean ski resorts. The architectural heritage of Durban is a reflection of great periods in history: ruins of the Visigoth chapel of St Ruphine castle and its chapel, St. Hippolyte chapel dating from the 14th century (restored in 2005), a 15th century stone bridge and a 19th century Eiffel style footbridge across the River Berre.
The Durban Lords Castle, standing above the village is a medieval castle of the eleventh century that housed the family - Treilhes Gléon -Durban for nearly 600 years.
Domaine des Pins was finally realised in 2005, a a private and gated development of 13 houses on a former vineyard, surrounding a lavender filled central courtyard, with stunning views of both the village and imposing medieval castle as well as the beautiful Corbières countryside....and then there is the view! The view from Villa Corbières is definitely one of the best in the region if not the South of France!
