Les Vergers (the orchards) is situated on the southern edge of the village of Dun. With a south facing garden and views of the Pyrenees, it is perfect for a relaxing pool-side holiday and for exploring this historic part of the Languedoc. The house is within the Pays Cathare, and is close to the medieval town of Mirepoix, the walled City of Carcassonne and the Languedoc vineyards of the Côtes de la Malpère, Limoux, Minervois and Corbières.
With 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms (4 en suite), the house is ideal for families and friends to relax and enjoy the ambience of this part of South-West France. It boasts a 12 x 6M salt-water pool and private gardens. Linger over a long French lunch on the terrace shaded by the wisteria, glass of wine in hand after a morning spent exploring the Mirepoix market or a climb to the mountain-top Cathar Castle, le Chateau de Montségur.
Les Vergers is located in the village of Dun in the foothills of the Pyrenees. There are great views of the mountains from the back of the house. It is located in a wooded valley with lovely local walks. We are in Cathar country and the house is well placed to explore some of the ruined castles. In Summer, enjoy lazing with a book and a cold drink by the pool or for the more energetic go canoeing or white water rafting. Explore the local wine areas and taste the wines of the Languedoc. During the winter you can sit and relax in front of the wood-burning stove after a day's walking or skiing in the nearby Pyrenean resorts
The house is within easy reach of Carcassonne and Toulouse airports and there are several flights a day from the UK to these airports (Ryanair to CArcassone and Easyjet and British Airways to Toulouse). If you choose to drive, it is a 10 hour drive from Calais.
