Home description
Be near the Mediterranean beaches, the lively city of Narbonne, within an easy drive of Carcassonne but still in the grounds of a lovely chateau on the edge of the village of Marcorignan!
These charming two-bedroomed houses have been created from the fortified farm buildings of a family-owned chateau. Inside, they are modern and simply furnished and each house has its own private terrace. The pictures shown are typical of the houses and accommodation available.
The chateau grounds are extensive (6 acres) and great for walking or cycling through olive groves, pine trees, vineyards, garrigue and cornfields. The big garden is planted with a variety of trees and oleanders. The shared swimming pool gets the sun all day. The garden is a great place to play for children with swings, volleyball, basket-ball, table tennis and boules.
