From the owner

This is not just a house, it is also our French home, where we live when we are in France.

It is situated in a popular village of character with 2 supermarkets and other shops, bars and restaurants, a market twice a week and is by le Canal du Midi, about 20 km to Mediterranean Beaches, just over an hour to the Pyrenees and the Spanish Frontier.

Our house, built mostly of stone, is fully equipped with wi fi, UK and French TV, garden BBQ, garden furniture and a spa pool. (Please note that in the colder months, there will be a supplement of €6 per day for the spa pool to extra cover heating and maintenance costs).

In 2010 we finished renovating our home and it has a fully equipped kitchen and it was renovated and equipped to a high standard in the firm belief that what makes us happy will also make you happy.

Further details

Although classified as 'non smoking' we will allow smoking on the ground floor subject to the agreement of your party but not on the first floor please.

For the die hard addicts, there is a rear alcove which can be used in inclement weather.

Further details indoors

An audio centre is also available which will allow you play your own music via a memory stick plugged into a USB point or CD's. A wood burning stove for the colder months, a comfortable 3 piece suite and book shelves with a selection of books covering all interests.

Response from the owner
Thank you Steve, our house is not just a holiday home, it is also our home when we stay in France and to that end we are very particular about keeping it up to scratch. We also try to put ourselves into our minds of the clients and above all we try to assist as much as we can. As far as the village is concerned invariably people fall in love with it. It has the charm of a 'working' village in Southern France with a great community spirit. I must say Steve that it was a pleasure having you and your family as clients and hope that the pleasure will be repeated.
