Millepetit Les Oliviers
About the home
This 18th century 3 double bedroomed farm-workers' cottage at Millepetit has been restored with all modern comforts (including free WiFi internet access) and is situated on a small working arable farm on the banks of the famously picturesque Canal du Midi. This makes Millepetit an ideal opportunity to sample rural life, yet it is still close to the Mediterranean beaches, mountains, history, culture and many visitor attractions in the area of Carcassonne. We would highly recommend your own transport to truly profit and maximise your enjoyment of this beautiful part of France. The small town of Trebes is a lovely 3km walk or bike-ride along the canal towpath and is good for all your necessities.

Once the heart of Cathar country, this region is full of history and interest. The Cité of Carcassonne (less than 15 minutes drive from the gite) was once one of the centres for the Cathars and still exists today, featuring in Kate Mosse's book of Labyrinth. There are numerous Cathar castles within an easy drive. There is also the famous village of Rennes le Chateau which inspired tales such as The Di Vinci Code. There are several Meditteranean beaches within 40 minutes drive and the mountains of the Pyrenees can be reached in a little over an hour for walking, climbing, mountain biking and winter skiing. The area is known for being the sunniest in France.

A great B&B right next to the canal and in a rural location (working farms). Our hosts did everything they could to accommodate our needs, including an evening meal. The properties are genuine old... more |

Millepetit is a great escape, just nearby the Canal du Midi, where you can have long walks along the canal, or hire a bycle (Cleide and Andrew's son is maintaining and hiring the bycles) and it... more |
![]() 10 Aug 2012 |
This was our first family holiday abroad where we booked everything ourselves; and Cleide and Andrew couldn't have been more helpful - something that was to become a feature of our holiday! From the moment we arrived until we left we felt very welcome and nothing was too much trouble, from advice on things to see and do to restaurants, from buying the delicious wine (€4 a bottle!) at the farm to chats about local history, from introducing us to the donkey who thinks he's a dog to sharing a beautiful sunset, it was all way beyond what was required or expected. The accommodation was perfect for us - I still miss my morning coffee by the banks of the canal while planning the day ahead! The kids loved the hammock and the swing seat beside the canal, and although the gite is on a working farm we never felt that our privacy was being intruded upon. The kitchen was fairly basic but more than adequate, and three toilets was a definite bonus. The location, just outside Trebes, was perfect with easy access to things in every direction. Would we recommend it? Definitely. Would we go back? Definitely. We had had a stressful year and staying here was just what we needed. |
