"Red Shutters" (house)

Home description

The house is in the heart of a charming unspoilt village, just 30 mins from the beautiful Mediterranean coast. The house is stone-built, roughly 200 years old, and has original beams everywhere .

It is very private, and has a secluded roof terrace, which looks out onto the hills behind, ideal for sunbathing (not overlooked) or dining beneath the stars.

Just a two minute walk to the village shop and the local bar. There is a much larger supermarket and restaurants five miles to the south in Durban and the city of Narbonne is 25 minutes to the north.

Beaches: The closest beach is the very popular Leucate (28km). Other excellent quiet beaches are to be found at Gruissan, Plage du Narbonne, Leucate, and Collioure some of which are naturist.

The Canal Du Midi (Canal des Deux Mers) is still seen as a marvel of engineering despite the fact that it was built in the 17th Century. The canal involved the building of the first artificial reservoir for feeding a canal (700 metres long, 30 metres above the riverbed and 120 metres thick at its base), which was built entirely by women carrying baskets of soil.
