The walled town of Cordes sur Ciel is one of the breathtaking sites of the Midi-Pyrénees region , between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. Emblematic , grandiose and intimate, Cordes is a medieval village where natural and cultural pleasures are shared , a beautiful pearl in an exceptional crown. Le Tarn is the home of the bastides (meaning colourful medieval hilltop villages). In fact there are 36 bastides in Le Tarn, along with fields of sunflowers and the lush rolling hills (similar to the Cotswolds in the UK). The bastide circuit lies at the edge of Puylcelci and comprises most of the bastide towns, including the oldest and most impressive - Cordes sur Ciel . It is also the perfect starting point for the historian who wants to tread the paths of the Cathars or walkers that want to enjoy the GR46 route. Each day you will find a typical French market in a bustling village, overflowing with the freshest, tastiest foods. This is farming country, so they rely on local produce that is seasonal, that's how it was intended. The proof is in the tasting of the local specialities, ranging from real Toulouse sausage to the villages' own honey and the colourful local livestock. Built on a dominant plot , the village , where this house is situated , is just few kilometers away. Gaillac and its Abbatiale Saint-Michel, is 30 minutes drive, where you will find all shops ,wine cellars, restaurants , hôtels, tourist office and amenities .Albi , the capital city of the Tarn, just listed in 2010 as World Heritage Site by UNESCO, is 35 minutes drive and is a beautiful city with the 13th century old Cathedral Sainte-Cécile (78 meters high fortress gothic church ) and its famous "Retable de la Vierge à l'Enfant", the Palais épiscopal de la Berbie , former residence of the Bishops , and today hosting The Toulouse-Lautrec Museum.

There is so much to do in and around Cordes sur Ciel . Swim in the pool or at two nearby aquaparks or two rivers. The walking and hiking is sublime on thousands acres of uplands in the Grésigne forest. If you fancy going further than Albi, , you can spend a day in Toulouse, its great Place du Capitole, or in the walled City of Carcassonne, or boating on the Canal du Midi both sites listed as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.

Location in France

The Tarn department is to be found between Toulouse and Montpellier. It is a fantastic mix of both Languedoc and Pyrenees culture. The landscape is contrasting, with green forests giving away to sun soaked vineyards. The 350,000 population enjoy a Mediterranean-like climate and a relaxed pace of life. Showers in the spring help to keep the vegetation lush.
Tourism is now the main source of industry in the department, attracting visitors to its climate and landscape, as well as the cuisine. The most popular wine comes from the town of Gaillac, which has been producing it since Roman times, and foie gras is a popular regional dish.
Albi, situated on the banks of the river Tarn is the departmental capital. It is from this river that the reddish clay is extracted to construct just about every building in the town. The artist Henri de Toulouse grew up here and bequeathed the town with the largest collection of his works. Albi has a vast cathedral, also built from red clay, and looks more like a fortress than a spiritual place of worship.
Castres is a busy town, and makes a great base for exploring the surrounding countryside. Pimgrims used the town as a stopping off point on their way to Compostela. It boasts a superb art museum showcasing works from across the border in Spain.
Toulouse, Rodez, Montpellier and Carcassonne all have their own airports with regular flights from the UK. Toulouse also offers TGV links to many other French destinations. The area also has a good road and rail network.
