About this property
Tastefully Renovated Pretty village Cottage 20mins From Carcassonne airport
Chez Dyna is a charming old maison de Maitre in the centre of Alaigne, which has been lovingly restored by present owners Lin & Geoff . It is an ideal relaxing location to base your exploration of the Cathar country. Chez Dyna is less than half an hour to both the magical city of Carcassonne, the only fortified town in Europe still inhabited, and the spiritual hilltop village of Rennes-le-Chateau near Bugerach mountain - site of many Holy Grail excavations. Chez Dyna now offers two newly refurbished very pretty adjoining gites (cottages) for holiday rental. We aim to offer guests a friendly, stress free stay with the possiblilty to blend self catering gite accommodation with b&b if required. We can be flexible about the duration of stay as well as the day of arrival and departure. We are located in a small but lively village with bakery, art gallerie and post office.
A freindly café-bar is located 3km. away as is a very nice swimming pool open in the high season.
Top quality cycles of all levels - including electrically assisted are available for rental in our village.

About the host
Hosted by geoff
The catalyst for our life in France and the name of our Chambres d'Hotes was our first classic French car, a 1951 Dyna Panhard. In fact, the actual car which was shown at the London Motor show in October 1951
Chez Dyna was love at first sight despite the extensive work that was immediatly necessary !.
We have lovingly restored the house over a 5 year period and our enthusiasm both for the house and our village has not waned. Since opening as a Chambres d'Hotes three years ago we have met many interesting people from different countries. It is a pleasure to share our home and to share stories over a glass or two of wine.
Recently we have added a little cottage, a small art gallery and transformed an old forge into a gorgeous apartment for those who prefer self catering holidays.
