Holiday gite in the tiny hamlet of Puilaurens, perfectly placed between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean Sea. Escape the busy tourist resorts and discover a lesser known area of France with it's spectacular backdrop of mountainous peaks. Puilaurens is a romantic idyll in a picturesque setting with  it's own Cathar Castle perched high above watching down on you. Wake up to the church bells, the birds singing and the sun pouring through the windows. Enjoy a peaceful breakfast on the balcony - what better way to start the day!

Nestling in the foothills of the Pyrenees in the Aude region of France, this delightful south facing village house backs onto a field with fantastic views including the Chateau de Puilaurens, which is a must to visit.  It is an ideal base to explore rural France,  discover more about the Languedoc-Roussillon region and to savour the local wines.

Our aim is to make you feel you are home from home. We try to provide everything you could need in equipment and comfort, from cooking a gourmet meal, to a quiet evening in front of the television or listening to music.

The River Boulzane runs though the village and offers peace and tranquillity. The walk down to Lapradelle to the village shop takes about 10-15 minutes and follows the river course. It is a lovely walk with lots of photo opportunities. The whole area is one of peaks, gorges, valleys and spectacular scenery. Both the Mediterranean Sea and Ski-resorts are about an hour's drive away. Closest towns are Axat and Quillan, 10 and 20 minutes drive, with Perpignan about 45 minutes and Carcassonne about an hour away.
