Home description

La Florette is a large country villa on 2 floors, sleeping 10 people (+ cot) in 2 double and 3 twin bedrooms. The large swimming-pool is 11 x 5 ms, with a paddling-pool.  The gite has a front terrace, lawn and field, together with a back garden. 2 barbecues. La Florette is situated 100 yards from the river Aude and 8 miles east of Carcassonne in the Minervois plain.

The historic city of Carcassonne is the second most visited place in France.  The largest fortified medieval city in Europe, it stands magnificent on its hill 150 metres above the river Aude.  Restored in the last century, it is a dream of the perfect medieval city with its three kilometres of ramparts, thirty-five defensive towers, its moat, Viscount's castle and basilica. 

There are several excellent restaurants in Carcassonne itself and many more in the surrounding area.  You will find most of them written up by earlier visitors in the house’s travel journal.  Good open-air markets are held at least once a week at Carcassonne, Lezignan, Mirepoix and Revel, and the frequent village jumble sales ‘vide-greniers’ bring out a huge range of wares with many bargains. 

The Minervois enjoys the Mediterranean climate with dry, warm summers and mild winters.  For house-hunters it offers a variety of small villages in the plain or on the hillsides, each with its own character and community.

About the location

Floure is situated in the Minervois, an area well known for its excellent wine.  Chateau de Floure offers a magnificent restaurant set in beautiful grounds.  To the south of the village lie the Corbieres, a scarcely populated range of hills well worthy of exploration.  To the north rise the Montagne Noire and the National Park, the last bastion of the Massif Central.   

Several historic cathedral cities are within easy reach, including Montpellier, Beziers, Castres, Albi, Narbonne, Perpignan, Toulouse and St. Pons de Thomieres.  Access to the autoroute is at Trebes 3 miles away, and from there it is a quick drive to Narbonne and the Mediterranean beaches at Gruissan and Narbonne Plage – or a 90-minute drive to Toulouse.
