Cathar Country

Located in the heart of Cathar Cassoulet country, in the midst of the National Walks system, the house is steps away from fresh water from a natural spring, wild mushrooms, walnuts and chestnuts in season, swimming at the lake in Pradelles, the Cubservies waterfall and the delightfully fun and eccentric Villeneuve Minervois Truffle Festival in December, January and February. You can also golf in Mazamet or Carcassonne, visit the UNESCO World Heritage Centre sites of Lastours and the fortified medieval citadel of La Cite, discover the Grotte de Limousis, Gouffre de Gabrespine and the many surrounding markets or go on wine tastings, climb at O2 Aventure beside the Lac de Cavayere beach, or simply sit and picnic by the Canal du Midi UNESCO World Heritage Centre or dine at the Michelin-starred Le Puits du Tresor down the road.
