  • Description

    Description

    Large family home on outskirts of a quiet village with a large selection of bars, bakeries, restaurants and shops. Tuesday is the day of the largest local market which supplies a colourful variety of fresh local fruit and veg, clothing, kitchenalia, jewellery etc etc. Opposite us is the Cave where the local grapes are taken to turn into wine. We have 2 dogs, 2 cats and 6 chickens who have free range of the garden most afternoons. I've been told I am a great cook so you won't go hungry either! No smoking inside house.

    Great for improving your French whilst here both at the house or whilst at the local café/bar with a coffee and fresh baked croissant. Or discovering unusual local dishes in the many varied restaurants in the area. Lots of local historic sites around including the walled Cité at Carcassonne 40 mins away.
