Parsley Holiday Home, Tarn, South West of France

The Parsley Holiday home offers self-catering accommodation in the beautiful department of Tarn. The house is 5 minutes walk from the quaint rural village of Cambounes, situated in the Natral Regional Park of Haut-Languedoc, in the foothills of the Lacaune and the Black mountains, in one of the most scenic regions of the south-west of France. The area is well known for hiking and mountain biking and the local town of Brassac has hosted the French championship in mountain biking descents several times. Walking and mountain biking trails criss-cross every corner of the area and the famous GR36 passes right by the cottage. The well known pilgrimage trail Chemin de St. Jacques de Compostelle (GR653) portrayed in the recent Hollywood film 'The Way' joins the GR36 in the communal forest of Cambounes. The area has several fresh water lakes with full amenities such as beach, life guards, restaurant, snack bar & water sports. The beautiful market towns of Catres & Mazamet are only 20 mins drive. Both offer fresh markets, good shopping and great dining opportunities. The UNESCO world heritage sites of Carcassonne & Albi are 1 hour away. The capital of the region 'La ville rose' Toulouse is an hour and half to the west. The Mediterranean cities of Narbonne and Beziers are under two hours drive. The region has a proud rugby tradition and is host to several top league clubs such as Castres Olympique, Stade Toulousain, Albi and Montpellier. There are plenty of other interesting places to visit such as the Sidobre national park (and it's amazing granite rock formations), the Millau bridge, Roquefort, Lautrec, Gaillac, too many to mention here. Come and experience real French living in this unspoilt region.
