Holiday Activities

Rurally situated midway between the historic medieval city of Carcassonne (world heritage site) and Rennes le Chateau (source for Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code) our comfortable, sunny apartment forms the top floor of a house set in mature gardens on the outskirts of a typical Cathare village and within easy reach of all local services. 

Sleeping four adults the accommodation comprises:
1 double & 1 twin bedroom
kitchen with dining table
large sitting room
bathroom, separate wc
laundry

The large private terrace has shaded and full sun areas and a pleasant peaceful view to the old village of Pieusse and its surrounding hills. 

Our rural position provides beautiful warm starry nights with bats flitting at dusk and the chance of seeing the bright green light of female glow worms in the garrigue on the hillside behind the terrace.  See "details" and "locality" for more information.
