About the home

Because this beautifully restored property provides ample and comfortable accommodation for 1 to 24, we can be very flexible to fit your perfect holiday and can accommodate any number of people, parties, families, friends, etc.. It has its own private access, with very large private parking area, large sun terrace by private back door, plus higher sun terrace with a large upstand bathing pool, plenty of tables and chairs to just relax. Mid week breaks/ long weekends can be catered for also.

White water rafting is run from the village which can be booked beforehand, along with mountain biking, canoeing, pony treking, paintball games, quad biking, mountain treking and fishing to name just a few!

JUST let US know what you are LOOKING for and we will do our BEST to accomplish your REQUIREMENTS. Most things can be booked by ourselves for you beforehand with costings being given.

The gite itself is well equiped for your comfort with everything you will need for your stay. There is an attractive woodburner with fireplace in the lounge and good electric heating if you are planning a winter time stay. The kitchen is beautifully equipped with all necessary appliances, including dishwasher, microwave, several refrigerators, freezer, very large cooker and oven, toaster, pots, pans, cutlery, plates, glassware. All bedrooms have double beds with ensuite showers or baths and all rooms have their own tea/coffee making facilites.
The gite is idyllically situated in Belvianes, a quaint, picturesque village, 1 hour away from the beach and 30 minutes from nearby ski resorts. Quillan which is 3 km away providing shops, restaurants, bars and station and all amenities and other interesting towns such as Axat , Limoux, Esperaza are nearby. The Aude river is just at the end of the road and it is possible to swim here in the summer, along with several lakes within 20 minutes drive at Puivert, Bugarach, and Arques.

Along with being a peaceful spot, this also is an ideal base to discover this region of France renowned for its climate, history, wineries, chateaux and old churches. The main reason for visiting this area is however the backdrop of the spectacular scenery. Try walking the Cathar trail (which passes through the village), visit the Canal du Midi, the famous Gorge de Galamus, Lake Bugarach, the Gorge de Pierre Lys along with the Cathar castles.

We can also transport you to and from the local airports with our minibus or car service if you wish to just come, stay, walk or just fancy a holiday without driving. Ask for details.

Holiday welcome packs can be arranged also and there is always a welcoming bottle of wine in the fridge for your arrival.

The Languedoc-Roussillon / Aude region

We also have a small cafe/restaurant in the village within walking distance but plenty of others in Quillan, Axat or in the Rebenty valley (between Axat and us) This area benefits from good all year round temperatures and therefore is a great location for those of you who enjoy being outdoors. It is possible to walk from the gite, around the river valley to Quillan and back quite easily and there are longer signposted walks for those who want them. White water rafting is available in the village along with nearby facilities for horse riding, canyoning cycling, quad biking, paintball games and swimming.

The Languedoc Rousillion is famous for wine and here you will not be spoilt for choice. Try the local caves of Caudiès de Fenouillèdes, St Paul de Fenouillet, Maury, Estagel, Lesquerde and so many more you won't be disappointed!

A favourite trip whilst in the area is to explore the Cathar chateux of Puilaurens ( around 10minutes drive) and also the castles of Queribus and Peyrepeteuse. Carcassonne and its medieval cité is a great day out and if you are here for Bastille day on the 14th July, the fireworks are spectacular. Down on the coast you will find the pretty villages of Collioure and Port Vandres which are well worth a visit and do sample the seafood while you are there along with the Port of Argeles and the long sandy beach of Argeles Plage. Book for the week of the Tour de France as this passes just at end of the road and you can bag your spot with picnic and see the fun!

If its' skiing you are interested in, the ski slopes of Puyvalador are around 45minutes from the Gite. Puyvalador is a smaller resort popular with the locals and the bigger resorts are at Les Angles and Font Romeu are just over an hour away. There are many great restaurants in Axat, Quillan, Cailla and Gincla so you will be spolt for choice.

The Belvianes et Cavirac area

There are local markets in Axat, Quillan, St Paul and Esperaza selling local crafts and produce. Do try the cured hams and meats and local cheeses, delicious!

If you are here in the summer you can't go far without experiencing the village fêtes, a real opportunity to mix with the locals and dance the way into the night. Throughout the summer there are open air music festivals in Perpignan and Carcassonne. In July there is the International Folklore Festival in Quillan for a week and also the fete in Quillan in August. There is a good tourist board in Quillan who can help book various outings also.

There is a small open air train which leaves from Axat in the summer which runs through the valley and gorges to St Paul and if wanted, you can then continue by coach to the famous Gorges de Galamus which is breathtaking at any time of the year.
