south of France - lovely house
Please note prices are per person per week, 170 per person, minimum two people. The house is in Rennes les Bains, a charming village one hours drive south of Carcassonne and one and a half hours west of Perpignan. The small towns of Limoux and Quillan are quite close. Rennes stradles the Sals river and is a thermal village, with hot springs feeding into an open-air public swimming pool (30 degrees) with jacuzzi and health centre. There is a little village square which has music and dancing on summer evenings. It accommodates some market stalls, there are a couple of small shops for essentials and a supermarket at Couiza, ten minutes drive away. A couple of restaurants in the village.
The house, built 40 years ago, is on two levels. On the main level is the kitchen (modern, fully equipped), the dining room with enclosed log-burning fire, the lounge leading to the sun lounge, the main bedroom (sleeps two) leading to a little office (could sleep one child), and the bathroom/toilet. The sun lounge and office both open onto the veranda and overlook the huge garden and the wooded hills beyond. There is a spiral staircase to the downstairs apartment which has its own independent access. Its first room has two sofabeds (could sleep four) and a fridge and oven. The second room has a double bed, and leads to a shower and toilet. Also on this level is a large garage, with large freezer, and cave for keeping wine. Linen and towels are provided. There is no television or computer. You can book from any day to any other day, minimum one week.
Rural France doesn't get any better. Great walks, drives, canoeing, balloon trips, Cathar castles, fantastic river gorges.
