Home description
Le Mas Du Plantaurel is a lovingly restored village farmhouse whose origins date back to circa 1750. The comfortably furnished 5 bedroom family home (which sleeps 8-11 people) enjoys a secluded garden, swimming pool and lovely views of the countryside with the Pyrenees mountains beyond. The village is very peaceful with only rare traffic. It can be found ten minutes drive south of the popular medieval town of Mirepoix, situated on the border of Languedoc and Ariege.
Nearby attractions include (to name but a few) Lac Montbel, such 'Grail Trail' favourites as Carcassonne, Rennes-les-Chateau, Montsegur and the mountain ski resorts of Mont D'olmes and Ax-Les-Thermes.

The Midi-Pyrenees / Ariege region
Situated in a peaceful village location in the foothills of the Pyrenees mountains on the border of Languedoc and Ariège in the South West of France, the area is a calm and peaceful refuge. The village has about 10 well maintained family homes, some ancient barns, a recently restored 12th century chapel and graveyard, village tennis court and football pitch. The village is scattered with lovingly tended flowerbeds and vintage streetlamps. It is extremely peaceful as there is very little road traffic.
The surrounding fields and meadows are invariably dusted with snow in winter and in summer they seem to overflow with sunflowers. There are many lovely walks to be enjoyed straight from the front door (from day long trecks into the hills towards neighbouring hamlets or just gentle strolls around the village). Mirepoix is approximately (10 km) from the house with its Medieval centre, Cathedral, shops and excellent restaurants. For day trips, the house is within reach of the Mediterranean coast, Pyrenees, Andorra & Northern Spain.
