It is set in two hectares of grounds in an extremely peaceful location with amazing panoramic views of the Pyrenees. They can be rented individually or together.

It benefits from generous sized bedrooms upstairs and a relaxed, open plan layout downstairs. It has a with wood burning stove, English satellite TV and WiFi internet access. It is very family-friendly with a UV-treated pool (shared with the owners, though we don't use it much when gite guests are here) enclosed to French safety standards, swings, and a large, netted trampoline. Children's toys and books are provided.

Local attractions include the mediaeval towns of Mirepoix and Carcassonne, some of Europe's largest caves, several beautiful, supervised swimming lakes, animal parks where you can variously see eagles, wolves, bison and reptiles - there is also a safari park in Toulouse.

Nearby you can take part in kayaking, canoeing, horse or pony riding or a 'parcours dans les arbres' (zip wires, rope ladders, etc) suitable for children as young as three.

We had a super stay

Thank you to Catherine for overseeing a wonderful stay at her charming property. We loved staying in the comfortable and spacious house with the most amazing views of the Pyranees. We were blessed with perfect weather so were able to make full use of the pool and gardens. My kids loved the play equipment (table tennis, trampoline and swings), meeting the chickens and the very friendly cat, Pickle. I would recommend this rustic home to anyone who is looking for a relaxing holiday in an idyllic location.

Vacances reposantes

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour, au calme, loin de la civilisation. Le gîte est charmant avec une très belle vue dégagée sur la chaîne Pyrénéenne. Il est également très bien équipé pour les loisirs avec une jolie piscine, un trampoline et une table de ping-pong. Les propriétaires sont agréables et très discrets. Nous recommandons ce gite.

About the host

Hosted by Catherine Cooper

Catherine is a freelance journalist and Alex is a TV director and photographer. They have two children, Toby, 10, and Olivia, 8. We moved to France in 2009 to enjoy a more relaxed pace of life, leisurely lunches, skiing in winter and of course, sun in summer. We have never looked back.

Why they chose this property

Because the view of the Pyrenees is just incredible - it has to be seen to be believed. Also we have the perfect balance of feeling very rural while also being close to shops, schools and other facilities.

What makes this property unique

Our view. It really is something special. Also both houses have been carefully renovated by Alex and local builders to keep many original features (stone walls,wooden beams, Captain's beds and antique French furniture) while also offering all modern comforts.
