Part of the beautiful Languedoc-Roussillon, a region renowned for its prestigious vineyards and vibrant sunflowers, this quintessentially French holiday home is located in a small family-friendly village just a fifteen-minute drive from the spectacular walled city of Carcassonne and the equally fairy tale-esque Limoux.

Inside, it’s a beguiling mix of old-world glamour and country-chic charm – we loved the sweeping staircase and marble fireplaces, not to mention the working fireplace in the expansive reception area – perfect for warming up with your loved ones on those cooler evenings. After cooking up a storm on the aga-style oven, bask in the summer sun in the comfort and serenity of your private pool area, or stroll down towards the river that babbles softly at the end of the garden.

Whether you’re cosying up in the inviting living areas, pottering around the mature garden, dipping in that impressive swimming pool, or exploring the best of what the Languedoc region has to offer, the creature comforts and understated style of this typically French home guarantee unforgettable memories in beautiful surroundings.

In the nearby village, you will find a tennis court, a public swimming pool, as well as a popular horse-riding school just a short walk away. Bike hire can also be arranged locally and there is plenty of opportunity to get out into the countryside with activities including fishing, canoeing, cycling, and hiking all readily available. Furthermore, fans of golf lovers can reach the highly-regarded Golf de Carcassonne in just fifteen minutes by car.
