Two Separate Villas with Pools in Grounds of Wine Maker’s House

The property “Le Clos de Vigneron” is an elegant wine maker’s house built c. 1820 on the edge of the charming medieval village of Mirepeisset in the ancient region of Lanquedoc. Mirepeisset’s medieval ramparts and gateway still remain, standing guard above the river Cesse; the roman parentage of Mirepeisset also remains, including the aqueduct and the surrounding vineyards of the minervois, first cultivated by the romans.

The property is totally enclosed with one double entrance gate which opens into the gravelled cour, allowing car parking on the property. One villa, La Fleurie, was built from the old barn, and is totally independent with its own swimming pool. The other residence, Le Fitou, was converted from the old wine cave and is attached to the Maison de Vigneron on one side, but is totally separate except for the shared-with-owners walled garden and pool. Both properties are furnished to a high standard and have their own separate entrances. Popular as a “shared but separate” holiday with friends and/or families.

This Land of the Crusades is packed with scenic beauty, historical sites, a wide range of activities from Beach to Mountains. The prospect serendipity travels along the Canal du Midi, exploring vineyards, olive groves and restaurants.

About Mirepeisset in Aude, Languedoc Roussillon

Mirepeisset

In the ancient language of the Occitan, hence “Langue d’Oc”, Mirepeisset translates as “see the little fishes”. This small village has two restaurants and a small epicerie/boulangerie to pick up freshly baked croissants in the mornings as well as providing small provisions. Also within walking distance are another four restaurants. For more serious shopping, a Supermarket and petrol station are one mile away. The village is situated near the River Cesse, which in summer is dammed in order to create a pool for swimming. Nearby is a picnic area with tables and barbecues, tennis and basketball courts, a play area with swings and a pizza restaurant beside the Cesse. There is also a Riding Stable in the village, and bicycle rentals nearby. Every day of the week is a different village market for you to explore!

Further Afield

There are numerous stunning towns and sites to visit.

Narbonne is the closest, being built by the Romans as a seaport for exporting wine and olive oil, and in Roman times was the largest city outside of Rome. Stroll through the medieval streets, have a relaxing coffee or wine in the Cathedral Square, and be spoilt by several fine restaurants.

One must see Carcassone, the largest medieval fortress in Europe. Bastille Day fireworks are reported to be the best in France!

Bezier is only half an hour away, with its stunning Cathedral and bridges; activities include restaurants, the August festival of Feria, and a Friday flower market, and exploring Medieval winding streets.

Cathar sites are captivating, and because they were built in the most high and remote areas for protection, they are, as a result, truly rewarding, Peyrepertuse being the ultimate, and Termes, Queribus, and Monsegur close behind.

Of course the Beaches! Narbonne Plage, St. Pierre, Guisssan, Cap d’Agde, the list is impressive, miles of clean Mediterranean sand and sun! Indulge in seafood extravaganzas in Sete, Meze, Cap d’Agde, or Guissan.

Montpellier and Toulouse are wonderful as well and also the Toulouse Lautrec museum in Albi.

If you wish to travel further afield, Spain and its Pyrennee mountains are one hour door to door! Visit Collioure where Matisse lived and painted, or the Dali museum in Figures.  Barcelona is a mere 2 ½ hours away.

The list is endless.
