1 Domaine Horte Region: Carcassonne Guide Price: 2,124-3,034 per week Sleeps: 6 Image not readable or empty typo3conf/ext/olivers_travels/resources/public/img/pdf-l Overview Brightness and easy elegance pervade this villa in Languedoc. When you wake, be sure to pick up fresh croissant from the bakery across the road (you are in France, after all). Take a walk through the grounds, where dappled sunlight plays across your path down to the river. The private pool encourages basking all day, while at night the chandelier in the sitting room will twinkle over you and your loved ones. You'll especially love the relaxed, country-style kitchen where the whole family can dine. This holiday villa is located 15 minutes outside of the walled city of Carcassonne, your jumping-off point to the region. You might fly into the airport here, and take time to appreciate the citadel that dominates the town. Another (more quaint) town of note is Mirepoix; get your fresh produce here at the excellent Monday market. Your villa is perfectly poised for you to drink in the Languedoc-Roussillon wine region. This region borders the Mediterranean (what better excuse to get to the coast?), and offers exciting, experimental wines that hold great value. Here you're a wine pioneer! Who needs Bordeaux or Champagne? A toast with Crémant de Limoux is just as sweet. Page 1

5 Location & Local Information The beautiful region of Languedoc-Roussillon is filled with vineyards and sunflowers. Wine tasting classes are readily available including in the local village itself. You can easily catch a glimpse of The Pyrenees which are the perfect excursion. The location is wonderful for visiting the many Cathar castles and the fairytale ancient city of old Carcassonne is a must for young and old alike. The "rose" city of Toulouse makes a great day out and the Mediterranean beaches are little over an hour away. It's only 2 hours to the border with Spain! Carcassonne The fortified town of Carcassonne - a restored medieval fortress - is rich in culture. Domaine Horte is also very close to Mirepoix - a small town with a very wide square with some ancient timber-framed houses. It is well worth a visit for the weekly market which takes place on Mondays. Other sites of interest include: St. Hilarire, which is only ten minutes down the road and has a beautiful Abbey, and Limoux, which is a carnival town always bustling with activity. During the summer months there is always plenty of activity. it is a great place to have a coffee and a croissiant. Page 5
