The Medieval City, the Mountains and the Med!
Experience the real, modern French way of life in a lovely, stylish villa, 5 mins walk from the Canal du Midi, 6 minutes drive from Central Carcassonne
Nestled between the Malpere, Limoux and Cabardes vineyards, the house is well-positioned to explore these and the vineyards of the Minervois and Corbieres, 30 mins drive away. The local Chateau de Serres also offers tastings and tours. The Pyrennees can be seen most days from the raised 'rocade' ringroad and local villages such as Montreal. The Black Mountain range is nearby offering opportunities to explore Mazamet, Chateaux Lastours, the caves at Cabrespine and historic French villages such as Lagrasse, Minerve and Castelnaudary. The Abbey de Frontfroid, Caunes Minervois and Cathar Chateau de Peyrepetuse are also a short drive away. The sandy Mediterranean beaches of Narbonne, Leucate and Port La Nouvelle plus the etangs oyster fisheries oat Bages and Fitou are 45 mins away via the autoroute.
Carcassonne - a tale of two cities!
- Carcassonne is a centre for Cathar history buffs as well as those who love the novels of Kate Mosse and the board game Carcassonne! Explore the two cities, the higher walled medieval city and castle ramparts with its historical re-enactments, plus lively bars and bistros open late into the night. The Carcassonne Festival concerts are hosted throughout the summer. Recent acts include Sting, Tom Jones, Bob Dylan and the Stranglers or experience the free summer concerts in Place Carnot and Place Chenier in the Bastide too.
- The lower Bastide area of Carcassonne is a joy to wander around, offering the opportunity to explore the brasserie lined-squares, independent boutiques, boulangeries and street cafes, artisan crafts shops, art galleries and jewellery shops, and follow the art deco architecture trail around the city taking in the Theatre Jean Alary. Book a canal du midi boat trip from the main station or walk across the ancient bridge up to the medieval walled cite.
- Drive 6 minutes from the house and park in the shade for a couple of Euros all day on Boulevard Barbes, or in the range of Q parks underground, or take the local bus which stops right outside the house and taxi back from the station at night. Cycle along the Canal du Midi 5 minutes from the house and in 10-15 minutes you will be in the lower Bastide area of Carcassonne.
- A 15 mins drive away is the stunningly pretty book village of Montolieu, the Chateau at Pennautier and Saissac, and the pretty villages and ecluses (locks) along the Canal du Midi, the town of Limoux famous for Cremant de Limoux sparkling wine and La Redorte or Capendu or Salles D'Aude on the Canal.
- A 30 mins drive away encompasses Trebes with its restaurants and canalboats, Le Somail where you can book a canal boat, eat fine food and tapas, or explore the historic library, and Caunes Minervois - the village that inspired Dick and Angel Strawbridge to move to France, Ginestas - a typically French village and Pezenas - the home of Moliere.
- Also within easy reach are the town of Narbonnes and Perpignan with their Halles - fresh food markets.
- Beaches within a 40 mins drive include Gruissan - where the film Betty Blue was filmed, St Pierre la Mer, Leucate for windsurfing, Peyriac la Mer and Valras Plage.
- Local supermarkets within a 5-10 mins drive include Intermarche, LeClerc x2, Carrefour, Aldi and Lidl. Carrefour Contact and Monoprix are also present in the Bastide
