    Description

    We live in old converted farmhouse in southern France with spectacular views of the Pyrenees mountains close to the town of Castelnaudrey.

    We are in easy reach of ancient walled "Le Cité" in Carcassonne and the "Rose City" of Toulouse with the added benefit of being located in the quiet french countryside with local walks.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Our location can be described as remote, stunning views in all direction, but we are close to two world heritage sites, the Canal du Midi and the medieval walled cite of Carcassonne. We are only 30 minutes from the city of Toulouse which is known as the Rose city because of the stone used to build a number of the older buildings. Toulouse is also known for being in the forefront of the aeronautical and aerospace technology.

    All of this gives our visitors a wealth of choice to mix the old with the new. We are a Franco - Scottish couple who enjoy any manner of cultural exchange.

    We also need once a year to take a weeks break so we are looking for couples who will be comfortable looking after our cats and maintaining the property during this time.
