The Languedoc-Roussillon / Aude region

With 300 days of sunshine, the Languedoc-Rousillon offers a year round opportunity to experience the surrounding scenery with its stunning gorges, lakes and vineyards.

The department of Aude boasts a rich historical heritage, with the stunning Cathar castles on many of the hilltops, the mystery of Rennes-les-Chateau and the magnificent medieval city of Carcassonne.

The area is ideal for outdoor pursuits including walking, water sports (white water rafting, turbo boarding, kayaking, canooing within village), cycling (Tour de France often goes through village), fishing, climbing, caving etc. plus skiing in the winter season.

Other places of interest include:

Thermal springs at Rennes-les-Bains & Alet-les-Bain
Thermal pool at Rennes - les- Bain - open all year round.
Perpignan - gateway to Spain, full of history and wonderful for shopping in the old and the new quarters.
Mirepoix - wonderful medievel town with famous market square - the entire perimeter is rimmed by old beams and wooden heads. Each carving is individual.
Gorge de Galamus - amazing limestone gorge worn through the ridge by the river Agly.
Mediterrenean beaches just over 1 hour away. Miles of safe sandy beaches.
Sentier Cathar (walking route through the Pyrenees)
The famous Little Yellow Train - take the open air train through the Fenouillede mountain range or the Tet valley.

The Belvianes et Cavirac area

Belvianes et Cavirac is a small village (approx 300 people) nestled in the foothills of the Pyrenees at the entrance to the Gorges Pierre Lys.

Excellent local restaurant, just five minutes walk away, offering regional food and wine. Another restaurant has recently opened and is only a few minutes walk from the house
Quillan, the local market town (3km away) offers all amenities including outdoor swimming pool, shops, restaurants, boulangerie, boucherie etc. During the summer months there is a weekly night market (Thursday) with live entertainment).

Open air swimming pool at Axat - with water slide (10mins) - stunning scenery all around. Lie on the grass under a tree whilst the children swim in the pool.
Lake at Puivert 10km - spend the day by the sandy beach of this fresh water lake. There is a small cafe/restaurant and again the scenery is beautiful.

“Perfect week in beautiful peaceful surroundings” I spent a week at Les Volets with my husband and 2 kids (ages 5 & 6) in August. This is the 3rd year that we have spent our summer holiday here and the fact that we keep coming back tells you everything. The house is situated in a gorge on the edge of the village of Belvianes et Cavirac and is surrounded by stunning views. It is comfortable and well furnished and fully equipped with everything that you need during your stay. The nearest town is Quillan (only 5 minutes drive away). This is a lovely small old town where you can sit and have coffee or eat in the restaurants. We ate out during the week but also cooked at the house and enjoyed lovely warm evenings on the terrace with a bottle of the local wine looking at the stars. There is a lot to do in the vicinity and you can be very active walking, rafting, exploring castles, local markets and vineyards or be very lazy and lie by the side of a swimming pool. The weather was glorious and we spent most days at the swimming pools in the local villages (Axat and Alet-Les-Bains 10-20 mins drive away). The pools are spotless and have slides/fountains etc for the kids along with views of the surrounding mountains. Overall, a perfect week for the whole family in a beautiful place.

“A wonderful retreat” My wife, 2 children and I stayed at Les Volets for 2 weeks last summer and had a great time. The house is situated in a stunning location that overlooks a gorge, and is very tranquil and peaceful, yet only a mile or two from a lively little market town. We spent our days sunbathing at one of 3 nearby swimming pools, hiking, rafting, sight-seeing and filling ourselves with local delicacies and wine. Would definitely recommend to those who wish to get away to rural France. We are going back this year for more of the same.

“Traditional cottage in perfect surroundings” Had a lovely four day break in this cottage and had everything we needed to make our stay perfect.The surrounding area is awesome. More time was needed to visit the beautiful villages and churches.

“Perfect views of the surrounding mountains from the terrace.” As a mother and daughter on their road trip we felt so very "French" at Les Volets.Each morning we opened the shutters to be greeted by the amazing landscape and the local baker delivering our still warm croissants and baguettes. The quaint village of Belvianes perched on the hillside in this beautiful winery area of France was a well needed break from the large cities we had been visiting. If action was more your style a white water rafting adventure was just a stroll down the road but I must admit just to sit with a glass of the local wine and a platter of cheeses was all we desired.
