Farmhouse with Four Gites and Pool near Mirepoix, Midi-Pyrenees
We have four individual self-catering cottages (gîtes), two with two bedrooms, one with three bedrooms, and one with four bedrooms. The gîtes are set with our home in five acres of the Pyrénéan foothills, bordered by a pretty stream, and benefit from our 10x5m pool, table tennis, table-football, boule court, free wi-fi etc.
'Languedoc' is a two bedroom cottage with both bedrooms en-suite. Languedoc sleeps 4 and overlooks the pool, with a private terrace and views in three directions.
Through the entrance doors to the left of the terrace, you enter:
- The lounge area with well equipped fitted kitchen (with dishwasher and washing machine). The lounge gives access to the:
- Downstairs double bedroom, which also has patio windows opening directly onto the terrace overlooking the pool, this bedroom has an en-suite shower room.
From the rear of the lounge a stairway winds to the:
- Large upstairs twin bed room (5m x 3m) with triple aspect views (including the Pyrénées) and an en-suite shower room.
Languedoc has electric heating and is suitable for use all year round.
- Table tennis, table football, giant connect 4 in the covered games barn
- Giant chess set
- Boule / pétanque court
- Badminton
- Sand pit for smaller children
We are on the edge of a pretty village, ten minutes from the medieval town of Mirepoix, with its restaurants, cafes, weekly market and summer festivals. Carcassonne, the 3rd most popular tourist attraction in France, is 30 minutes. Our regional leisure lake Lac de Montbel, with 1500 acres of water, beach and restaurant, is ten minutes away. The Mediterranean beaches are one hours drive. The extensive vineyards of the Languedoc are within 30 minutes. Extensive walking, cycling and angling, boating, and horse riding is available 'on the doorstep' in the Pyrenees and the Medieval Chateaux of the Cathars surround the area - Montsegur, the 'last stronghold' is 20 minutes away.
The medieval town of Mirepoix is a tourist gem in the area and we are lucky to be so close. Mirepoix has a 13th century cathedral (with the second widest nave in Europe!), and a timbered 'bastide' square around which there are bars, cafes, restaurants (there are over 20 in the town), boutique shops and the essentials of bakers, butchers, fishmonger and so on. The town has an excellent weekly market on a Monday morning and many events taking place during the summer. It also has a SuperU supermarket and Aldi with everything you need.
We are 10 minutes drive from the largest inland lake in the South West of France - Lac de Montbel is a 1500 acre man-made reservoir created in the 1980's to hold water for refilling the Canal du Midi. The lake provides sheltered and safe conditions for all types of beach activity, it has several beaches, one of which has a lakeside brasserie and a lifeguard in attendance during the Summer. Lac de Montbel also offers a full range of watersports. We are an hour from the Mediterranean beaches.
Our village nestles in the foothills of the Pyrenees. 400m above sea level, but with the 3000m peaks 20 mins drive away.
Every active sport you can think of is on the doorstep, from paragliding to hill walking via watersports. The Tour de France passes close by and the area is a favourite for cyclists and mountain bikers. We are an hour from the Mediterranean beaches, and enjoy a mild climate.
For those that prefer a gentler pace, the roads are quiet and the scenery is spectacular - you can tour the mountains from the comfort of the driving seat! We have many driving and walking tours; vineyards to visit; weekly markets; wildlife and wild flowers (esp. the orchids in spring / early summer).
For foodies, Mirepoix (at 10mins) has over 20 restaurants to suit all tastes.

This was our first visit to the Ariege - What a find.
We had a really relaxing week - some of the highlights were:
- A visit to the market at Mirepoix
- Lagrasse - v pretty village with swimming in the river and an interesting abbaye.
- Lac de Cavayere - for water activities.
- Carcassonne - very busy but worth a look.
- Dave and Kath's local walks.
- The poolGuest rating:
We are sorry to leave. The house is a great location.
We enjoyed horse-riding at the lac - 10 minutes drive. and conoeing also.
Lovely walks from the door. Great facilities. Thanks for having us.

By the mere fact that you are reading this you will already be aware of the beauty of this setting.
We booked the gite after finding it online and yes booked for a month! Dave and Kath turn a beautiful place into a very special one. Their kindness and patience make them exceptional hosts. They are very well-informed and are so helpful. Blue and Cassie were an added bonus! We are a family of four (kids 12+9) and our dog. There was something for everyone, with the beautiful fresh pool being an all-round winner. My husband availed of the great cycling routes, I availed of the sun-beds and read loads. Table tennis, badminton and boules challenges were great for family challenges. We have net many lovely people here. Mirepoix is a lovely town. We found a unique place for dinner - Auberge de Mirepoix. Staff were dressed in medieval dress and traditional bread (like pitta) were the order of the day. Unanimously, canoeing in the Aude (45 mins drive) was the highlight of the holiday.
When you read through the diary you see so many people on repeated visits. Now at the end of our stay it is very clear why so many people come back time after time. I hope we will too.
