About the host
Hosted by Fabien & Ben
Having lived in France for years and travelled all over the country, we personally fell in love with this region a few years ago, essentially because it is one of the most beautiful and unspoilt areas of France and offers a haven of peace from mass tourism even during the busy summer months. We adore the stunning mountain views, the historic Cathar castles, the unrivalled food and wine, the access to mountain lakes, and the bustling village markets, not to mention the ability to day-trip to great cities like Carcassonne, Béziers, Toulouse, Perpignan and Montpellier, and to the world-class beaches on the south-west coast. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with the rustic French charm of this rare railway cottage, but also with its huge, 1/2 acre garden which offers incredible views up to hilltop villages and over the foothills of the Pyrenees. It is a haven of peace but also within easy walking distance of Couiza's and Espéraza's shops, markets, bars and restaurants.
