Home description
Surrounded by the Blanquette vineyards of Castelreng, the house has been completely renovated. Called "La Bonbonniere" (snug little house) it is much more than it's name. Two large upstairs bedrooms are furnished with queen size beds and decorated with Ralph Lauren linens. The spacious salon features an antique French daybed overflowing with pillows...a perfect spot to relax with a book. The ground floor kitchen has been totally updated and remodeled. Off the kitchen is a dining area with fireplace. Through an ancient arch you'll find a very spacious living room/dining room, also with a fireplace. The large partially covered terrace has views of the village church which dates from 1088. The outdoor fireplace is delightful for cozy dining or bar-b-ques. on warm summer evenings. Take a step back in time and indulge in the luxurious surroundings of this delightful cottage

The Languedoc-Roussillon / Aude region
This is a beautiful region of France where vineyards and sunflowers abound. Wine tasting is everywhere including in the village itself. The Pyrenees are visible from many places locally and easily reached. The location is wonderful too for visiting the many Cathar castles and of course the fairytale ancient cité of old Carcassonne is a must for young and old alike. The "rose" city of Toulouse makes a great day out and of course the Mediterranean beaches are little over an hour away and only 2 hours to the borders with Spain.
Limoux / Castelreng area
The house is located in a village called Castelreng and is situated approximately 9km from Limoux. Castelreng is typical of a sleepy circulade village of the region where the pace of life is very slow but you may find yourself here when there is a local fete and then there will be dancing in the streets literally. Limoux is renowned for its sparkling wine Blanquette de Limoux said to predate champagne. It has to be tried and where better than at the summer night market held every week in July and August. Market day is every Friday in Limoux and Monday in the medieval and historic square of Mirepoix.
