House La France - Ramparts & Riverside (Sleeps 2)

A lovely, peaceful location set within the walls of a beautiful and atmospheric Medieval house, right on the banks of the river Orbieu.
The house is located such that you can easily be part of nearby activities or enjoy quiet relaxing time on the largest terrace in the village! There is the possibility of direct access out to the riverside and is just a few steps from the covered market square at the very heart of the village.

Take a look at the many reviews on TripAdvisor

As the river trickles by why not sit drinking your chilled glass of local wine on the terrace whilst watching the sun slowly setting over the hills opposite.....You might even strike lucky & spot the local heron or a Kingfisher swooping past & if you come at the right time of year, you can even be lulled to sleep by the mating calls of the local frogs - & we don't mean the human kind!
We have created our Ramparts & Riverside Gite within the original rampart walls of this atmospheric listed village.

It's a great spot for those wishing to "get away from it all" .

The apartment is on the ground floor with a couple of steps once inside.

Accessed through the central cobbled courtyard. Terracotta floors combine with clean white washed walls with carefully chosen antique furniture, accessories & unique art. We have aimed to create a space in which you would feel comfortable & relaxed.
The bedroom is on the riverside so you can fall asleep to the gentle sounds of the water trickling by...... There is a large double bed (180x200cm) or 2 singles, if preferred. Good, comfortable mattresses with high quality pure cotton linens. These will be supplied if you are a traveller from overseas but if you are travelling from within France I request that you supply your own sheets and towels.

There is an equipped kitchen and a dining space for 4,both inside and outside on the balcony, so you can invite other holiday makers you might meet to share a meal.

Lagrasse is surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and the scent of pine, thyme and rosemary wafting from the surrounding hills. It is particularly famous for its 8th Century Abbey and the many cultural events hosted there. It is perfectly located for you to explore the wild and beautiful countryside, the Cathar Castles, the Canal du Midi, the Citadel at Carcassonne, the Mediterranean beaches, the Pyrenees and is only two hours from the Spanish border. Swim in the river, go for a leisurely walk, a bike ride, sample oysters freshly plucked from the sea in Leucate, or simply relax & watch the sun go down.

The house is located such that you can easily be part of nearby activities or enjoy a quiet, relaxing time on the balcony overlooking the river. There are several excellent restaurants, a couple of bars, a baker, Pharmacy, Post Office, 2 doctors, a newsagent & numerous local artisan shops and galleries.
Linen & towels are included if travelling from overseas. Hairdryer & iron also provided.
Check-in from 4pm. Check-out 10am

Smoking not allowed.

Off-site parking facilities costing 18€ for a week are only 3 minutes from the house.

You will be asked to complete and sign a booking form.

During high season a 7 night stay is specified but please feel free to contact me if you have different requirements. It may be possible to accommodate you.

The tourist tax is included in your booking fee.

Einfach wunderbar!
Wir haben die Woche in Nicoles Apartment in vollen Zügen genossen. Die Wohnung ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet, der Blick auf den Orbieu und die alte Brücke unbezahlbar. Nicole ist außerdem eine wunderbare Gastgeberin, freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns fest vorgenommen, im nächsten Jahr nach Lagrasse und zu Nicole zurückzukehren. Vielen Dank!

Appartement de caractère dans une maison ancienne au coeur de Lagrasse
Splendide appartement au rez-de-chaussée d’une maison ancienne très bien rehabilitée, située au coeur de Lagrasse, à deux pas des anciennes halles. Depuis le petit balcon/terrasse, vue très agréable sur la rivière l’Orbieu et sur le Pont Vieux. Accès par une cour intérieure très agréable et assez fraîche, avec sol en calade et grandes plantes en pot. L’appartement est resté frais malgré la canicule du mois d’aout 2022 (en fermant volets, portes et fenêtres durant les heures chaudes). Chambre et salon très soigneusement décorés, avec beaucoup de style. Cuisine et salle de bain relativement petites et sans lumière extérieure mais fonctionnelles. Une excellente expérience en résumé.

Un délicieux séjour
Nous avons séjourné deux semaines dans l’appartement de Nicole. Il est très agréable, bien équipé et superbement décoré. Idéal pour un couple, il est situé au calme, tout en étant à quelques pas de la rivière pour se baigner, des commerces et restaurants de Lagrassse, et de superbes sentiers de randonnée. Nicole a été charmante, elle nous a accueilli avec beaucoup de gentillesse, et nous a donné de bons conseils tout au long de notre séjour. Nous recommandons donc chaleureusement ce gîte vraiment charmant.
