| If you love peace and tranquillity this is a beautiful place for you to be. The open countryside allows all sorts of activities as mentioned above, but also painting, writing, and reading. The scenery is unspoilt and overwhelming. In the area of “the Orb Valley”, in which you are located, there are numerous small and charming villages, all worth visiting. Many villages have a weekly market (list is in the house). Not only the countryside is breathtaking, but there is also a rich cultural history, rooting in the Roman period (Oppidum), Catholisism (churches, abbeys, monasteries) and the time of the Cathars (Beziers, Carcassonne, Albi, Montsegur, Peyrepertuse, etc.) You are not far from Spain (appr. 150 km) and Barcelona is appr. 320 km. Ten minutes walk from the house there is a gentle small waterfall and a basin with unspoilt water from the mountains. The house is appr. 25 minutes from Lac du Salagou and 40 minutes from Saut de Vesoles near St Pons de Thomieres. |

Stone village house
If you want to go for a beautiful walk there is no need of getting into your car, because you enter the woods and mountains immediately from the house. Also the Caroux and the Gorges d’Heric is a beautiful walk directly from the house. Not only is there an overwhelming nature but the area has also a rich cultural history, especially with regard to the Cathars.
