In the Languedoc, overhanging the exceptional Canal du Midi (UNESCO), the Ch\u00e2teau de Paraza is the guardian of a very old wine growing tradition. Its history is deeply linked to the French one and especially, the history of the region Languedoc, rich in elements and that began with the Roman occupation.<\/p>\r\n

In the time of Louis XIV, the Ch\u00e2teau de Paraza used to be the dwelling of the French engineer Paul Riquet during the construction of the canal connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean then called Canal du Roy.<\/p>\r\n

Before being transformed as a winery, the Ch\u00e2teau de Paraza used to be the home of several activities such as the oil culture, the cereal one or the farming of huge ovine herds. The Canal du Midi was then used by all and knew an important commercial traffic : passenger transport or freight thanks to crafts pulled by horses, or sometimes, men.<\/p>\r\n
