Nancy Wood, Independent Agent, says: | | All the hard work has been done in this charmingly renovated village cottage: Everything is pristine. New has been merged superbly with many original features to give a real taste of France. There is nothing to do but move in, so come and enjoy the more than 300 days of sunshine for which the Languedoc is so well known. | The ground floor open plan living of this lovely cottage has been extended to bring the outdoors inside. A large enclosed veranda is just the right link to join the outdoor courtyard with the interior. Inside, the original fireplace adds just the right touch of charm and practicality to the living space. Also on this level is the main bathroom, complete with bathtub.
Upstairs the huge master bedroom with built-in wardrobes gives onto its own terrace from which you can look out over the village stream. There is nothing but trees to overlook you, so your privacy is guaranteed. There is a second room also on this floor. The third is on the top floor in the converted attic. Two large velux windows add light and air to this space which could accommodates two single beds and, although the ceiling is low, it is just the thing for the littlies.
The cottage is located in a charming village through which passes the Canal du Midi. One of the locks is located just on the edge of town and it is a great spot for a picnic. There are also mooring points close by. The village has a small supermarket, baker, butcher, green grocer, hairdresser, newsagent, wine cave, and post office as well as a doctor and dentist..
The village is typical of the Minervois area of France - a village clustered around its church and surrounded by vineyards. Its closeness to the Canal du Midi and the river Aude make it ideal for walking and cycling. It is 18 miles east of the medieval city of Carcassonne and 25 miles from Narbonne. Just 10 minutes from Lac Jouarres' beach where one can rent windsurfers and sailing dingies, 45 minutes to the Mediterranean beaches, 2-1/2 hours to ski resorts and 90 minutes to Spain makes this a great base for a varied holiday.
The area is well-serviced by Carcassonne Airport (25 minutes) with daily flights from England and Ireland, by Toulouse and by Montpellier International airports (both about 90 minutes). Fast-train service to and from Paris also arrives and departs at Narbonne (35 minutes) twice daily.
