The Midi-Pyrenees / Ariege region

You have everything you want here, sunshine, glorious scenery, lavender fields, lots of historic interest, (the Route of the Cathares, Montsegur). We are very centrally situated. Carcasonne Airport is just 45 mins away and there are flights all year round and every two a day in the summer, and Toulouse and Perpignan Airports both 1 hr 30 mins away. Should you wish to drive , it takes approx 10 hours from the Dover ferry crossing and is a very straightforward route.

If you want to get away from it all, the Midi-Pyréenés is the largest official region of France, offering stunning vistas, good summer weather and a unique landscape. We have excellent skiing for the family at nearby Monts d'Olmes(30 mins away) and the prices are much more reasonable than other ski resorts. Ax le Therme is about 1 hour away too.The ski resorts on the Spanish border offer an economical alternative to those of the French Alps, and this area is dotted with thermal resorts.

We are very fortunate, as we have skiing from December to March usually, and the spring and autumn are lovely times here and the summer is excellent as you have brilliant weather, but not the humidity as we are close to the mountains.

The Belesta area

Belesta has a chemist, bank, post office with cash machine, traditional butchers, bakers, greengrocers and a supermarket so you dont have to travel far to get what you need. We have two bars with their restaurants and within 10-20 mins there are many more lovely restaurants you can try, even one by a lake in the openair in the summer. Or you can simply relax with a good choice of DVDs in the sitting room.
There are many castles and mountains, forests, lakes (with little beaches) and lots of historical interest as we are on the "Route of the Cathares" with the Chateau ofMontsegur just 20 minutes away. Andorra and Spain are approximated one and a half to two hours away. The wonderful scenery changes with the seasons. We are situated on the border of Ariege and the Aude so we are well situated for house hunting too.
We are also central for visiting the many and varied attractions this area has to offer, for example, the butterfly farm, the prehistoric park, the longest underground river trip in Europe, carting, canoeing, kyaking, and there are loads more to chose from. We also have puzzles and games for children (or grownups) including boules and darts, so you see we have everything to offer you here for a wonderful holiday.

Sur les chemins cathares;
Rez de chaussee: cuisine de 15 sq.m. Salle d'eau et w/c separe.
1er etage: une chambre de 20sq.m, parquet, avec une lit double, porte fentre sur balcon; une chambre de 13 sq.m. parquet, avec lit double; une chambre 12 sq.m, parquet, avec deux lit simple, et une salle (30 sq.m) ,parquet, avec une double click-clack, satelite tv Anglais; DVD.

There are just so many places to see in this region; here are just a few ideas:
We have Fontestorbes Intermittent fountain, just outside Belesta (in the summer it stops every 30 minutes or so and you can walk into the caves). The Chateau of Montsegur is 20 mins away, and we are on the Route of the Cathars and all the history that goes with it. Rennes le Chateau not far away too. If you love history you will love this area. Queribus, Peyrepertus, Roxifixade, are on the Route of the Cathars, Foix Castle is a wonderful site to see and Carcassonne has so many places of interest you will not be disappointed.

At Mirepoix:there is a very busy farmers market on a Monday in this medieval city which is a "must" for all visitors to this area. Mirepoix dates back to the 12century and ther are still the wooden "covers" with magnificent carvings to see.
There is a subterranian trip, the longest open to the public in Europe, a Musee des Dinosaures, a Musee Contemporain de la Chapellerie (Hats) all within easy reach (along with loads of other things to do).
There are lovely lakes to visit and mountains to climb. This area is a paradise for walkers, cyclists, motor cyclists, families of all ages .

End of October Belesta hosts a Pumpkin Festival, and you wont believe what you can make out of a Pumpkin! There is also a farmers market during the three day festival . This is followed on November 1st by a huge Vide Grenier like a loft sale)in the streets with 100 plus stalls. and lots of things to buy at very reasonable prices. This should not be missed.

Only a short distance away are Spain and also Andorra with its duty free shopping! Another lovely place to visit is Ax les Thermes on the way to Andorra, where there is a natural spa too.

There are plenty of things to do in the area for all ages. We have nearby a Prehistoric Park, Castles and Chateaux too many to mention. There are festivals and fetes and markets a lot of the time and a "vide grenier" is not to be missed ( bit like a car boot, but without the car!)This is a lovely old fashioned rural area and you will have a relaxing holiday with no rushing around and very little traffic to contend with generally. Life is a much slower pace and its great to unwind, but there are also lots of things to do in the area, if you want to. So its up to you.

Guestbook for Joli -Jardin Appartment

Excellent size, excellent value, ideally situated, clean and altogether a good choice for us.

We came to Ski at nerby Monts d'Olmes and the prices available here were fantastic and saved us a fortune.
Approimately 1/3 cheaper than elsewhere and excellent for family skiing.

Large semi detached house,plenty of room and nicely decorated and very clean in the middle of "a dream place for walkers and hikers"..Excellent value very comfortable, very peaceful in Belesta, but in the centre of lots to see and do. Very handy having the owners next door so very helpful with local things to do and visit.

We did not know this area, but found it to be wonderful, not much traffic and a slow pace of life.Tranquil and very safe. Everyone talks to you, a really lovely village and central for discovering Aude & Ariege.

We had not been to this part of France before, but were extremely pleased as it is very varied and just so much to see and do. Everything you need is in the village and that was an added bonus.
