Arch Apartment
About the home
Situated within the walls of the village our house offers visitors a relaxed, peaceful & historic holiday experience. During loving renovation, the house unveiled many historic secrets associated with the Cathars. With 15 authentic stone arches scattered throughout the property and various 12th century paintings you are sure to feel you have taken a step back in time! However, with all mod cons and a comfortable feel to the living accommodation in the self catering gite, it is history at its best!
With arguably the most spectacular facade in the village, Neuf Rue de Cancans really is a gem nestled within the cobbled streets of a village voted 'One of Frances Prettiest'. One of the few houses within in the village walls to have a garden - a little piece of paradise can be found out here too. With its lawn & 2 BBQ terraces al fresco dining is a must. Imagine the sun bouncing off the medieval walls & the breeze blowing through the cherry trees - you are sure to find leaving difficult!

The Languedoc-Roussillon / Aude region


With consistent temperatures in the mid 20's from May to September this part of Southern France has something to offer everyone, with its colourful landscape which changes dramatically through the seasons.
Lagrasse is a great base for exploring local history and architecture - with Narbonne’s fine medieval buildings and Roman beginnings, the great medieval walled Cité of Carcassonne, Cistercian Abbeys, Cathar Castles from the Albigensian crusades of the early 13th century on hilltops everywhere, fortified cathedrals at Beziers and Capestang and the exciting cosmopolitan southern cities of Toulouse, Montpellier, Perpignan and Albi - all these are within easy reach.
The Lagrasse area
The village has something for everyone - bars, restaurants, local artisan shops, boulangerie & once a month in summer, the local 'brocante'. Live bands play in the 8th century Abbey, classical concerts in the church & a world famous music festival during July, all lively & fun, a typically French atmosphere is guaranteed!
With village facilities including tennis courts, football & boules pitches only 2 minutes walk away & sailing & windsurfing a 30 minute drive away, there is also something to occupy the more sporty!! Skiing is only 2 hours away too. For those wanting a truly relaxing French village experience there is the pretty beach on the Orbieu river which is only a stones throw away through the cobbled streets. Superb fishing is also found on this river & with the Canal de Midi close by, tranquil boat trips are a must. The local market in the village offers superb local product every Saturday.
Other activities in and around the area include ~ guided tours, painting, pottery, shopping, wine & honey tasting, shooting, boules, football, boating, canoeing, rock climbing, canyoning & relaxing,

The conversion of this old house into three apartments has been done very well and looks great. We had a perfectly comfortable time but unlike many other places the apartment lacked any of those... more |
Guestbook for Arch Apartment
Having spent many holidays throughout France, we stayed in one of the apartments at Neuf Rue de Cancans last September. It proved to be the highlight of a three week European tour! We have always felt on the periphery of French life but staying with the English owner Guy who is fluent in French and fully integrated into village life gave us a true flavour of France and allowed us a glimpse of what could be. From the slow cooked lamb on the barbecue, to the neighbours bringing round fresh home-grown produce and yes bottles of wine the experience is one we will never forget and will return again and again.
Jo and Roger Chambers Spain.
Many thanks for a wonderful stay in your beautiful house. Special thanks for all the tips on where to go. We would never have found some of the beautiful places (especially the natural marble water slides and pools!) Great hospitality to us and our dog. We will recommend your place to our friends and would definatly come again. Jonathan M and Family. London.
How wonderful your 'home' is! We have enjoyed our stay very much. The surrounding area kept us occupied during most days but coming back to your beautiful space and friendly village was definatly the highlight of each day. Thank you again. Virginia and Jon. Texas.USA
This visit has been breathtakingly wonderful! The apartment is an amazing example of what the housing may have been like many years ago. Life in Lagrasse is slower and behind the bustle of the rest of the world by choice, not by lack of communication. Thank you for the opportunity to visit here! Kathy D. Indiana. USA
Lovely big apartment. Guy is an excellent host and very informative. If you want some good wine, ask Guy where to get it from because the good stuff is better than good! Wish we could have stayed longer! Roger & Shirly. UK.
Lived up to all our expectations!Spectacular scenery North, South, East and West. Very comfortable apartment with lovely features. beautiful weather too. John, Michael & Janith. UK.
