About this property

'Maison Bleue' is located in the Medieval village of Puilaurens and has superb views of the Cathar castle.It accommodates 8 people over 3 floors with bathrooms at the top and base of the house. A centrally located kitchen and lounge area leads out onto a sunny terrasse, perfect for barbeques. This area overlooks the ancient village and river from the balcony, as well as the castle looking upwards(it is illuminated at night).
In the lower outside space there is a special place to play the popular game of boules, with a demarcated boules piste. The house is light and airy and decorated in a modern but traditoinal style. The dishwasher makes life convenient for nights in, however a short 15 minute walk down the hill takes you to a couple of good restaurants. The village also has a shop and a bar. A great place to relax within easy reach of Quillan and Carcasonne as well as Perpignan and the coast. The beautiful scenery of the valley is a classic wine growing area. There are places in the vicinity to enjoy wild swimming as well as an outdoor pool 10 minutes away at Axat. A little tourist train takes you through the area in open or closed carriages to enjoy different castles and scenery.

Beautiful setting

This house is set in a beautiful spot in Puilaurens, just below the Chateau. Lovely house with 4 bedrooms, full kitchen and terrace. The sound of the church bells was lovely, too. Instructions provided were very helpful

nice holiday home at Puilaurens

01.10.-15.10.2022 We (my wife, my three kids [19,14,11] and my parents-in-law) had a very nice stay and truly relaxing holidays. The house is clean (especially both bathrooms were in a perfect condition!), quite nice and well equipped. It's located at the foot of the mountain on which the Puilaurens castle controls the surrounding landscape. Landlady and -lord were very friendly, flexible and accomodating. Contact was very nice and helpful. We can only recommend this location (5*****) and the landlady/-lord (5*****).

De belles vacances à la découverte des Pyrénnées Cathare

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour dans la maison de Deb et Ian, qui se sont montrés très réactifs lorsque nous les avons contactés pour une réservation tardive. Le gite est parfaitement situé, avec de nombreuses activités à faire à moins d'une demi-heure de route (visite de châteaux forts, le train rouge, musée de la préhistoire, activité aquatique) et beaucoup de jolies randonnées accessibles même avec des enfants petits (3 et 6 ans). La rivière passe juste en bas de la rue, les enfants ont été ravis de s'y mouiller les pieds. Le gite est joli et commode, les murs en pierre gardent l'intérieur relativement frais même lors des fortes chaleurs. Merci pour ce beau séjour !
