Charming 18th century Auberge located in the Languedoc in the foothills of the Pyrenees in the sleepy village of Bouriege. Surrounded by vineyards, Bouriege in an area famous for its sparkling wine, Blanquette de Limoux, as well as for being in the heart of Cathar country, fourty minutes south of Carcassonne- the celebrated medieval walled city.
This three-story, four bedroom house has been lovingly restored and is furnished with local farm antiques. The old style kitchen is fully-equipped with copper pots the original old stone bread oven, five ring gas range and plenty of dishes and glasses for the largest of dinners. A chefs delight.
Behind the house is a small walled in garden, full of roses and grapevines, with a wooden bench swing and hammock as well as table and chairs. There is also a small barbeque. We often have lunch and dinner in the garden lighting the candles at night that sit nestled in the stonewall. Further down the village is another garden by a stream for games of badminton or croquet or just lazing under the cherry tree.
This is splendid walking and sight seeing country- from the hills and vineyards to the Cathar Chateaux.
