The house
Le Petit Ermite is a small-scale holiday accommodation in the Pyrenees, where two detached tiny-houses are situated on a terrain of 2000 m2. Both gîtes have a unique direct view of the old château of Puilaurens, one of the last Cathar strongholds. This castle is on the waiting list to become UNESCO heritage and is also a feast for the eyes during the night, because it won the second prize for the most beautifully lit castles in France. The site borders an ancient forest of more than 1000 hectares and offers you a relaxing view on the mountains. A few evenings a week it is possible to order a vegetarian takeaway meal, which can also be served in the garden or at the gte if desired. The menu price is between 15 and 25 euros. We don’t serve breakfast.
"La Colombe" is a cozy tiny house, equipped with a double bed, sitting area consisting of a table with two chairs, a kitchen corner (with a little stove and a fridge), and a bathroom with toilet, sink and walk-in shower, where also a hair dryer can be found. Bed linen and towels are included in the price. Outside and from the bed, you have a direct view of the château. You have also access to WiFi. Outside in the garden there is a set of two wonderful sun beds and you can also use other seating areas in the garden.
You can park your car or bus on site at the terrain near the gîtes, large buses/campers can be parked on a parking space within a short walking distance. In the picturesque village you find a grocery store within walking distance where you can buy fresh bread daily. You can swim in the nearby area, for example in the natural waters of the beautiful Gorges or at a swimming paradise that is open during summer in a nearby village. It is not allowed to bring pets.

We know where these kinds of locations can be found and are happy to provide you with advice. Excursions to larger cities are also possible, such as the pleasant city of Perpignan and the impressive medieval citadel of Carcassonne.
