A lovely, peaceful location set within the walls of a beautiful and atmospheric Medieval house, right on the banks of the river Orbieu.
The house is located such that you can easily be part of nearby activities or enjoy quiet relaxing time on the largest terrace in the village! There is the possibility of direct access out to the riverside and is just a few steps from the covered market square at the very heart of the village.

As the river trickles by why not sit drinking your chilled glass of local wine on the terrace whilst watching the sun slowly setting over the hills opposite.....You might even strike lucky & spot the local heron or a Kingfisher swooping past & if you come at the right time of year, you can even be lulled to sleep by the mating calls of the local frogs - & we don't mean the human kind!
We have created our Ramparts & Riverside Gite within the original rampart walls of this atmospheric listed village.
It's a great spot for those wishing to "get away from it all" .
The apartment is on the ground floor with a couple of steps once inside.
Accessed through the central cobbled courtyard. Terracotta floors combine with clean white washed walls with carefully chosen antique furniture, accessories & unique art. We have aimed to create a space in which you would feel comfortable & relaxed.
The bedroom is on the riverside so you can fall asleep to the gentle sounds of the water trickling by...... There is a large double bed (180x200cm) or 2 singles, if preferred. Good, comfortable mattresses with high quality pure cotton linens. These will be supplied if you are a traveller from overseas but if you are travelling from within France I request that you supply your own sheets and towels.
There is an equipped kitchen and a dining space for 4,both inside and outside on the balcony, so you can invite other holiday makers you might meet to share a meal.
Lagrasse is surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and the scent of pine, thyme and rosemary wafting from the surrounding hills. It is particularly famous for its 8th Century Abbey and the many cultural events hosted there. It is perfectly located for you to explore the wild and beautiful countryside, the Cathar Castles, the Canal du Midi, the Citadel at Carcassonne, the Mediterranean beaches, the Pyrenees and is only two hours from the Spanish border. Swim in the river, go for a leisurely walk, a bike ride, sample oysters freshly plucked from the sea in Leucate, or simply relax & watch the sun go down.
The house is located such that you can easily be part of nearby activities or enjoy a quiet, relaxing time on the balcony overlooking the river.
