房源位置

The Corbières are renowned for Cathar castles including Termes, Peyrepeteuse and Queribus, all easily reached from the village. The famous Benedictine abbey of Lagrasse is 20 minutes away. Carcassonne, with its walled city, a World Heritage Site, and fabulous market, is 40 minutes away; the Canal du Midi, wonderful for easy walking and cycling is also a World Heritage Site and can be reached in 30 minutes; at your doorstep are many walks through fields and into the aromatic 'garrigue' - lavender, wild thyme and juniper abound.
The area is equally delightful in the spring, when rare wild orchids appear, and in the autumn, when the vineyards are turning red and gold.
Fine local honey, goat's and sheep's cheeses, yoghurt, olives, olive oil and related products (soaps and bath oils) are all available from local farms which you can visit. Vineyards in the area produce prize-winning wines, many of them now organic. Chateau Borde-Rouge, Haut-Gléon, and Villemagne are particularly recommended. Horse-riding and bike rentals are also available nearby.
There's a thriving musical culture in the area, with a rich programme of live classical, contemporary and world music, in churches, abbeys and village squares.

Mediterranean beaches (including Gruissan, Narbonne Plage and La Franqui) are approximately an hour's drive away. We particularly recommend Leucate, which has beautiful clear water, is safe for children, and is accessible via a relaxing backroads route. La Franqui is beloved of wind surfers.
Buy vegetables from the village at the local weekly market; there are other wonderful markets, local produce shops, and butchers, bar/restaurants neighbouring villages.

The closest airport is Carcassonne (Ryanair flights from London Stansted, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester, Cork, Dublin, Brussels, Oporto - routes and schedules vary seasonally). We are 90 minutes from Toulouse (direct flights also to Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Paris, London and other UK airports). Other nearby airports include Perpignan, Beziers, and Montpellier. You can also get to Carcassonne by train - the faster services from Paris are about five and a half hours.
The A61 autoroute is 30 minutes from the village. It's a two-day drive from London (think of stopping overnight in the Loire, e.g. around Orleans); a long day from Paris; about three and a half hours from Barcelona.
The village can be reached by taxi from Carcassonne, but a car is essential for shopping and getting around the area.
