Caramany (middle of photo) is a true hide-away!

The Languedoc-Roussillon / Pyrenees-Orientales region

Along with the Cote d'Azur, this is the part of the country which gets more sunshine than elsewhere in France. With easy access to the sea and river swimming, it is perfect for sunbathers and water-lovers.

Historically, the area is famous for the Cathars, a breakaway faith from the Catholic church. Cruelly put down, retracing this sad chapter of history through the numerous Cathar castles in the area is fascinating.

Languedoc-Roussillon is France's biggest wine producing region. The quality and price of the wine in this still largely underexposed area will be a very pleasant shock.

Many different sports activities possible including scuba diving, canyoning, mountain biking, bike hire, sea kayaking, fishing (sea or river), windsurfing, kite surfing, horse riding, etc.

The Caramany area

Caramany is a haven for those looking to wind down. With a population of 150 and next to no traffic, village life is simple, intimate and peaceful. Madame Aubert pulls up every morning on the square in her little white van, selling baguettes, croissants and cakes.

Pop into the “Mairie” (Mayor’s office) to see if there’s an upcoming fete or petanque (French boules) tournament you can join in with. Pick up a map there which outlines walks in the surrounding hills. Have a drink and game of pool with the villagers at Patrick’s café a few doors up. Enjoy a barbecue on the terrace of Maison Caramany or take a picnic to the belvedere outside the village which offers breathtaking views of the lake below.

All this will make you realise just how fast our lives have become.

“This is a great place to get away from it all and a great base to explore Pyrenees Orientales” An extremely well equipped property, quiet village, nearby wine cooperative, some local walks/cycles and the auberge are great local attractions. Cathar castles, Perpignan and Carcassonne accessible... more

Guestbook for Maison Caramany

"At very short notice, we booked your lovely house. What a stroke of luck! The facilities you have provided are perfect, the house artistically renovated and extremely comfortable. You have thought of everything."
- Tina Howitt, Jul 2007

"We have had a great time here. Gino and Charlotte have thought of everything: games, books, ideas for days out, dvds…. We loved Collioure, the rock pools and the old windmill. The villagers were delightful, the house a real haven: this holiday has seen us fall in love with France.
- The Graces, Aug 2007

"Maison Caramany = 5 star hotel
Caramany = Heaven.
We love it here – the house is beautiful – just like the village. We have spent 2 glorious weeks looking around –Canet Plage; rock pools; Port Vendre; Carcassonne etc. The history of the Cathar’s is very interesting. So sad to leave."
- Stuart, Maureen, Fiona & Ian, Aug 2007


"We have enjoyed a wonderful week’s holiday in your fantastic house. Your recommendations have been spot on – from our baguette & croissants from Madame Aubert to a swim in the beautiful rockpools.
Thanks again for all the information & organization. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed our week in the beautiful village of Caramany & hope to be back in the future."
- Kenny & Lorna, Sep 2007
