Home description

A very well equipped gite with own patio, BBQ and terrrace. Great location for visiting the Cathar chateaux, Mediteranean, Spain, Carcassonne and surrounding countryside. There are no shortages of things to do and places to visit. Markets held daily in all the different villages / towns. Golf course at Carcasssonne and several others in the region.

Surrounded by vines at the edge of a village with a Pub and a restaurant yet close to other amenities. Great for walking, relaxing and recharging those batteries,

In the grounds of British owners who will respect your privacy. We have been running the gite business here since April 2004 and open all year around.

The Languedoc-Roussillon / Aude region

Region steeped in medieval History and the Cathars. Mountains, gorges, rivers, canals and plenty of wildlife. Chic shopping in Toulouse and Montpelier or bird watching a few hundred metres away in the dried up salt lake known as the Etang. Mild winter climate averaging around 12C in Dec / Jan and a hot and sunny 30C in July / August.
This is still a very authentic, rustic and unpretentious part of southern France with friendly, hospitable locals.

Carcassonne / Marseillette area

Carcassonne. The medieval walled city dates back to the 6th Century. It has 52 towers and 2 miles of ramparts and is still inhabited to this day. Narrow streets offer a vast selection of shops and eateries. The city has been the setting for several films including Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. The place comes alive in Summer especially in July when they have the Music Festival and you can find different types of music / acts dotted around the city and performing in the outdoor theatre.

How to get there

15 minutes east of Carcassonne along the D610 road to Bezier. 7 minutes from Trebes which has all the supermarkets, shops, petrol etc. A small typical village with the Canal du Midi running through it and the River Aude. 20 minutes from Carcassonne airport. Low cost airlines flying to Carcassonne, Beziers, Perpignan, Toulouse, Montpelier, Nimes and Girona and Barcelona in Spain making it an ideal location. There is no problem hiring a car in Spain and crossing the border, we are 2 hours from Girona and less than 3 from Barcelona airport.
If you catch the ferry to Calais then expect a 10 hour drive plus comfort breaks.
