The Languedoc-Roussillon / Aude region

With its Mediterranean climate, mountains, lakes, long open stretches of sandy beaches, fairytale villages, vineyards, golf, fishing, skiing, canoeing, good food & wine, markets, lots of history and friendly laid back atmosphere, Languedoc has something to offer for everyone. It is the new Provence, but without the crowds. And whilst you are here, why not take a relaxing drive into Spain, after all it is only a day trip away. Languedoc is the biggest wine region in the world with vineyards as far as the eye can see so spend some time sampling the local wines.

The Carcassonne / Conques-sur-Orbiel area

The village
Conques-sur-Orbiel is located just outside Carcassonne - 10 minutes drive. The village has a post office, cashpoint, food store (with cheese and meat counter), newsagent, a bakery, public swimming pool & tennis court, a pizzeria, a restaurant and a cafe all within walking distance. A large supermarket is only five minutes drive and the village gets once a week visits from the dairy farmer, butcher and fish monger. There is also a stream for fishing.

To see and do
Visit the medieval citadel of Carcassonne. Explore Cathar castles - Chateau de Peyreperteuse perhaps the most impressive. Visit one of the many lovely historical villages - Minerve, Mirepoix, Rennes-le-Château. Take a trip to Collioure - an old beautiful fishing port with a castle, art galleries, shops and good restaurants.

For everything from food to jewellery, visit one of the many local markets - Carcassonne, Limoux, Narbonne, Mirepoix. The are many good restaurants in the area. For a reasonable priced meal, we can recommend La Courtine located at 4 Place Marcou, La Cité, Carcassonne and for something special Domaine Gayda 11300 Brugairolles and A la Prise d'Alzeau near Lacombe.

Swim in the thermal swimming pool at Rennes-les-Bain or head off to Lake Cavayere or Lac du Montagne. Bring a picnic, rent a canoe and gently paddle on Canal-du-Midi. Build sand castles at one of the many beautiful beaches in the area.

For the children and the young at heart - Go gokarting, visit Australia Park, Meze Dinosaur Park and Réserve Africaine de Sigean - one of Europe's largest wild animal parks.

Play golf at nearby course in Carcassonne, explore Canal du Midi by renting a bike, strolling along its banks, by taking a guided boat trip or why not go fishing. If you like walking and hiking, there are many lovely tracks in the area. In winter, go for a day trip to the nearby ski slopes.

There are a number of events throughout the year in Carcassonne: May - Jazz week. 19 June to 3 Aug - Festival of the Cité and Festival of the Bastide - opera, dance, theatre and music events. The Cité set ablaze – Fireworks on the night of 14 July. August - Spanish Week. December - the Magic of Christmas.

“Lovely house in quiet village” We had a great stay at la maison. The house is nice, perfect for a small family for a week. Very handy to have a dishwasher and washing machine. The bedrooms in the house in particular are lovely. Unfortunately the weather we had wasn't great and by the time the sun came out late in the afternoon the courtyard was in the shade, later in the year it would be lovely to sit out there. The village has several bakeries for the morning croissants and a well stocked local shop. The local pizza shop was pretty handy too. The house is within easy reach of lots of lovely old villages, ruins etc which were nice to visit - and obviously carcassonne! Response: Thank you for taking the time to review our property. I am pleased your family had a lovely stay. Shame about the weather; this means you just have to come again, as it is glorious when the sun is out. All the best, Carina

“Lovely Maison in a fabulous location.” We found this gem last minute and it was just perfect; we loved the French village and the ease of access to vineyards, castles, beaches and mountains. The maison is just perfect; it is absolutely the best equipped property that I have been in and it is really beautiful. It was early Spring when we were here but I can imagine in summer it would be even more perfect to be able to sit in the courtyard one evening. Carina is an amazing hostess; attention to detail is impeccable; lots of great recommendations. We will definitely visit again. Response: Thanks for taking the time to write a review. We are so pleased you had a lovely stay in our house and hope you have a chance to experience the area in summer time or early autumn. Many thanks, Carina

“Great house, great location” Carina and James are excellent hosts, they provided lots of information about the house and the area and were extremely helpful. The house was great, ideal for couples or a family. The nearby restaurant was very good and in walking distance if you don't want to cook. The location was perfect, away from the city centre but close enough to beaches, mountain lakes and Carcassonne centre. A car is definitely required.

“Great little French hideaway in the middle of wine country” We stayed at the Maison d'Annelli for two weeks in July/August 2012 and another couple visited us over the middle weekend. We found the house to be exactly as described and ideal for our purposes, which were to have a base while we drove around the Aude and surrounding Départements exploring the local domaines and medieval towns and villages. The facilities in the house were perfect for us, not least because we could watch the London Olympics on Sky and had fully functioning Wi-fi. Nothing was too much trouble for the owners even when we had to have some additional bedding delivered when our visitors arrived. The location was ideal also, being situated in the middle of the Cabardes, Corbieres and Minervois wine growing regions, close to Carcassonne, Montpellier, Castres and Albi. We were able to get to our favourite French beach resort of Collioure within 90 minutes. The village was great, friendly locals and a very good boulangerie and epicerie. In short, highly recommended. Response: We are pleased that you had a nice stay at our house and thank you for taking the time to write a review. All the best, Carina

“Wonderful place to chill out.” We had a wonderful stay in a stylish and roomy townhouse. The facilities provided were very good and it was welcome when we arrived to find basic food stuffs and a bottle of wine. The location is excellent for the surrounding area and site seeing. The guide in the house is very good and it's worth spending time reading it to find out about the local places. The local swimming pool is very good but do check out the dress code for men's swimwear (e.g. swimming shorts are unacceptable) before you go. The booking organisation and the on-going information from the owners was very helpful and friendly. The whole process was efficient and easy.

“Two weeks was simply not enough!” A beautifully rennovated house with excellent levels of equipment and comfort. Conques sur Orbiel is ten minutes from the supermarket and right in the middle of the Cathar Country. We had a fantastic time exploring, swimming at the lakes, visiting the beach and generally soaking up the 34 degrees of sunshine we were blessed with each day. Carina, the owner, could not be more helpful and sends all the information you could possibly need. We cannot praise Maison d'Anneli enough - top marks in every department!

“A Home From Home in France” My wife and 2 friends stayed at La Maison D'anneli the first 2 weeks in June 2012. The property was everything as advertised, Carina has asked if we thought the house required anything extra but we could not think of anything. The village is charming and the locals friendly especially the owners of the Proxi store and the local Bakery. We thought this was " a home from home " and really enjoyed our stay.

“Fantastic stay at maison d'annelli” We booked a week in France last minute and were extremely lucky to find the hidden gem that is maison d'annelli. The house is very well equipped and conveniently located to allow exploration of the wonderful region. La cite is less than 15 minutes away as is the airport. We spent the week travelling around and found some beautiful villages in the area. On our last day we found lac de cavayere which is only around 5 minutes from La Cite - a perfect location for enjoying a good book and a picnic. We will definitely be recommending the house to our friends and family!

“Comfortable, extremely well equipped, restful village house.” Our family of two adults and two teenage girls stayed at La maison d'anneli for a week in August. Our booking was made through the holidaylettings website. Carina, the owner, was a pleasure to deal with, she was friendly and she responded quickly to all queries. She provided lots of local information via email before we traveled and there is an extensive information pack in the house for use by guests. The house is on three levels. Living area/utility/toilet on the ground floor with a en-suite bedroom on each of the upper floors. It is spotlessly clean with plenty of towels. Carina and James have equipped this house as you would your own home. The kitchen has everything you need. The furnishings are comfortable and of good quality with lots of nice decorative touches throughout. All the necessities are here plus many extras. There is satellite TV with all the English channels, DVD player with movies, wifi, picnic accouterments etc. If you are traveling with a baby or toddler this house has all you need including a small nursery off the first floor bedroom. The bedrooms are very spacious and bright with large en-suite bathrooms. The bedrooms sleep up to seven people (sofa bed and cot) comfortably. The living area is not so large and is perfect for four. The weather was very hot 35C+ during our stay and the house did tend to heat up during the day. There are free standing fans in all the rooms, with the fans on and open windows we could cool the house at night, as the temperature drops significantly. The courtyard is a lovely place to sit on a summer's evening. The Cite in Carcassonne is a great place for dinner at night, it is very atmospheric and overflowing with restaurants. Carcassonne plage is a great place for kids, good safe swimming, climbing center with zip-lining, crazy golf and more. The square in Mirepoix is a nice spot for a coffee or a drink.

“Very peaceful winter break.” The owner was very friendly during the booking and after care process. Considering it was out of season there were a couple of shops within a minutes walk to buy groceries, and the main store was 10 minutes drive away. Very well placed for sight seeing. It was deceptively spacious. There was alway plenty of hot water, and it was very warm considering the cold outside. We were left feeling very calm and rested after only a week, due to the quiet and peaceful feel of the area and cottage,
