Item Description
Here’s your chance to discover the Languedoc region of France, known for its great weather, historic sites and its wine industry, which has gone through major changes in the last 10 years and is now in the forefront of making organic wines.
Consider getting to know this beautiful region from a stunning home base - a private home in a wine-growing village between Narbonne and Perpignan, just a 30-minute drive inland from the Mediterranean. The Sentier Cathare passes through the village, and there is wonderful hiking and biking easily accessible from the house.
Owned by Portland-based Alliance members Clara Steiner-Jay and her husband David, the spacious 3-bedroom home (sleeps 6) features a large pool and walled garden and is the perfect location for a relaxing holiday. Visit the towns and historic sites nearby, including Carcassonne, Narbonne, le Canal du Midi, Perpignan, les Châteaux Cathares, Lagrasse, l'Abbaye de Fontfroide, Céret, Collioure and Tautavel. Arrive by air (Toulouse or Barcelona) or by train (Narbonne or Perpignan).
A recent visitor (from Oregon) to the home recommends it highly, "It is a lovely place, quiet, with a very nice fenced yard and pool, well furnished, a very well equipped kitchen, with a kind woman who welcomed us and made sure that we had everything we needed, knew where to find things, etc.; ideal in every way!... Very comfortable for two couples or even two couples with children."
The property is not available for the months of July through September. Arrange for other mutually available dates with the donors. Use before May 2019.
