In the centre of this Canal-du-Midi village, this barn will convert into a great one or two bedroom apartment. With some imagination, you will see how this barn could be converted into a great living space - ideal for holidays. Fantastic lock up an leave potential with an all important small courtyard.
View Peter's Property PortfolioIt is the village of La Redorte that makes this property so interesting. With it's cafes, restaurants, bakery, butchers, weekly market and supermarket, great walks along the canal or the ancient railway line which cuts a path through the vineyards. This barn, with a good design and build team could yield two bedrooms, bathroom, living room, kitchen, roof terrace, court yard and private, secure parking. We can even suggest a design and build team to enable this property to become a holiday reality You are also just a short drive or cycle ride from Lac Jouarres, one of those great Lake resorts favoured by the locals when it is too tiresome to go to the beach in August. We can even suggest a design and build team to enable this property to become a holiday reality. Airports are about 30 mins Carcassonne, 45 mins Beziers, with the beaches of the Med, 40 mins drive.

The Aude lies in the Languedoc-Roussillon on the edge of the Pyrenees, and as usual within France, such a diverse country, there are a wide variety of landscapes. Vast areas are devoted to wheat fields and vineyards, and mountains and vast forests are scattered throughout the area. The department also has around 50km of Mediterranean coastline, which is always appealing!
The city of Carcassonne is the Aude's most proud possession. The medieval town, which was the inspiration for 'The Sleeping Beauty', boasts an incredible 52 towers and 2 enormous ramparts. A stroll around the city's old town reveals many memorable views, and even form the autoroute, when lit up at night, it looks sensational. The historical city of Narbonne, not far from Carcassone, is another favourite.
The Aude has a large number of castles, reminiscent of its Cathar history. The most impressive citadel is Peyrepertuse, which has 2.5km of ramparts.
The Midi Canal, which flows through the department, is an incredible feat of construction. It took 12,000 men working for 14 years to complete it in the 17th century, and it runs from Toulouse to Thau, passing through Carcassonne. The canal is an incredible 240km in length nowadays, it is used most by the tourist industry and is a great way to explore the region whilst admiring the landscape at a leisurely pace.
The area is proud of its customs and local cuisine, including the world famous cassoulet. Castelnaudary is considered the world capital of this particular dish. There are very strict rules over what constitutes a cassoulet - most importantly, all the ingredients must come from the Aude!
Carcassonne has its own international airport with regular flights to the UK and other European destinations, as well as a TGV train station, so travelling to the Aude is easy.
The french property prices in the Aude tend to be slightly cheaper than the average within the Languedoc Roussillon, but the major cities naturally attract higher property values, particularly Carcassonne.
