We spent a week with our children in this lovingly restored house, which feels more like a home than a holiday rental. The owner, Marc, was incredibly helpful, sending us lots of information about the area before we arrived, and we were given a warm welcome by the keyholder, Alain (who speaks excellent English). Many long evenings were spent outside on the terrace watching swallows and house martins, and we especially enjoyed visiting the local towns of Mirepoix and Limoux, exploring the many châteaux in the area and bathing in nearby lakes. A most memorable holiday - thank you!
