15 minutes east of Carcassonne along the D610 road to Beziers. 7 minutes from Trebes which has all the supermarkets, shops, restaurants, 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.
