About the home

Stay in part of a recently renovated fermette within the village of Badens. Sample the flavours of the area with locally made patisseries and locally produced wine, all while sitting in the walled patio area surrounded by fragrant flowers and herbs, overlooking vinyards. This ground floor gite is ideal for families with young children or those with mobility problems.

Using Badens as your base it is possible to spend many days sampling the culinary delights of the area, learning about Cathar history by visiting legendary fortresses and castles or enjoying galleries and museums. Alternatively, a boat trip on the Canal du Midi or perhaps a swim at Lac de la Cavayere will help you to relax.

The Languedoc-Roussillon / Aude region

A visit to the Aude provides an opportunity to explore many historical sites, enjoy the scenery and sample a little piece of France. The Cistercian abbey of Fontfroide, the VIII century abbey at St Hilaire, Narbonne, Mirepoix and Limoux are all worth investigating and exploring, they are situated within driving distance of the gite
.
For those of you who enjoy being energetic there are opportunities to enjoy canoeing down the river Aude, climbing, rafting and potholing in the region. There are also 2000kms of well maintained and marked pathways crossing the Aude which can be investigated either on foot or by bike.

The Carcassonne / Badens area

The property is situated within a village surrounded by vineyards, the village has a boulangerie, bar, post office, hairdresser, butchers and garage. Within the village there are also many wine producers which offer wine tasting and advice on the local wines. For the younger members of the party there is a good play area a few minutes walk away, which has two excellent climbing frames, one for younger children as well as one for older children.

The town of Trebes (4km) with its abundance of flowers has much to offer visitors with many restaurants, supermarkets and shops including chemist, butchers, banks, English bookshop and a Tourist Information Office. There is also a covered swimming pool in Trebes and tennis courts. It is also possible to take a trip along the Canal du Midi (included in the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1996) which is extremely relaxing.

A trip to the area would not be complete without a visit to Carcassonne (both Le Cite and lower town) to learn about the local history and marvel at the impressive architecture and buildings. The breathtaking firework display which takes place on the 14th July is not to be missed and can be seen for miles around.

If walking around historic towns or buildings is not to your liking, you could visit the Ostrich Park, Les Aigles de la Cite (with its display of falconary) or the Australian Park to name just a few local attractions close to Badens/Carcassonne
