House in Languedoc-Roussillon
0/5 ( 0 Reviews)

Description

Just imagine yourself sitting on a sunny terrace, perched over the river Aude. Then retire into a light and airy house, full of French charm, character features and hand painted murals. The house is situated in a quiet residential road just tucked away behind the main square. Quillan is a lively, vibrant town nestling at the foot of the Pyrenees making it the perfect base for walkers, hikers and lovers of the outdoors. The town has a great choice of bars and restaurants, and some wonderful boulangeries and boucheries-charcuteries. There is also a convenience store in the centre of town and a large supermarket on the outskirts. Along with the twice weekly market everything you need can be found on your doorstep.

Quillan hosts many fêtes and festivals throughout the year ranging from thrilling cycle races through the town's narrow streets, to racing cars attempting a hill climb, and plenty of food festivals and live music. A new lakeside area was opened in 2017 boasting a great fishing lake plus a separate swimming lake. During the warmer months an inflatable 'island' with slides is anchored in the lake, great fun for kids of all ages or try your hand at paddle boarding.

Further afield a visit to the unesco world heritage site of the medieval castle of Carcassonne is a must and is only a 40 minute drive away. It is also possible to catch the train from Quillan to Carcassonne for just 1€ per person. To the east of Quillan the road winds it way through stunning gorges before emerging along the route de vins and gateway to the famous wine regions of the minervois and corbière.


This House makes an ideal base for exploring the surrounding area of the ancient Cathars so loved and made famous by the author, Kate Mosse in her Labyrinth series, For the more adventurous, try white water rafting, canyoning, rock climbing, mountain biking and hill walking. Then all come together for a trip to the Mediterranean to enjoy all the delights of the seaside resorts (approx 75 minute drive away), or take a boat trip on the serene and tree lined canal du Midi. The region is a Foodies paradise, with the local dishes of Cassoulet (created at Castelnaudary and featured by Rick Stein in his Oddysey) and Fricasee (from Limoux) not to be missed. Discover the excellent Malapere wines at one of the many vineyards on your doorstep, and the fine sparkling wines of Limoux (said to pre-date Champagne).

For winter guests, local winter sports resorts are situated 30-40 minutes drive away with larger resorts just over an hours drive making this the perfect spot for those skiers and non skiers alike. There is plenty to amuse non skiers, whilst those who enjoy the snow will find the peaceful, relaxed and tree lined slopes of the nearby resorts a pure joy.
