Just 500 metres from the small village of Tourreilles, with no main roads, just a small path leading to the gîtes and surrounding vineyards, you are in a peaceful setting, surrounded by the vines of the AOC "Blanquette de Limoux", the oldest brut wine in the world! Relax by the pool or on your terrace. Enjoy the sun, the peace and quiet and the superb view of the surrounding vineyards and the Corbières hills.
We're right in the middle of the Cathar country: in spectacular natural surroundings, come and discover the medieval castles, such as Peyrepertuse with its medieval festival, Montségur with the mysterious story of the grail, Queribus and Puilaurens. But above all, the medieval city of Carcassonne, with its castle and ramparts (listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO).
Take a stroll under the hundred-year-old shades of the Canal du Midi (also a World Heritage site) or relax on one of the terraces in the small medieval towns.
Don't forget the abbeys, the thermal baths of Rennes-les-Bains, the mysteries and the "treasure" of Rennes-le-Château, the markets and flea markets as in Mirepoix and the many festivals....
The town of Limoux is 7 km away. There are restaurants, supermarkets, shops, banks, post office, etc. On the terraces of the Place de la République you can taste the region's special wine, Blanquette, visit the market or enjoy the many free concerts.

Reviews
Lotte Lefevere from Kaster,
Wij, een gezin met 3 kinderen, 1-4-7 jaar, hebben hier gedurende 2 weken de tijd van ons leven gehad! Kinderbedje en stoel stonden klaar voor onze jongste kadet.
Prachtige ligging, huisje proper en van alle comfort voorzien.
Theo en Marjan zijn lieve sociale mensen die klaar staan met raad en daad.
Zeer goede uitvalsbasis om de streek te verkennen!
Het zwembad was zalig om in af te koelen en zeker niet te koud voor de kinderen.Het enige 'minpunt' was dat wij onze kleinste jongen (1 jaar) niet konden laten kruipen in de tuin of op terras. Beide (prachtige) terrassen zijn voorzien van kiezelsteentjes, wat hij maar al te graag in zijn mond stopt.
De tuin is prachtig, maar niet om op blote voeten te lopen anders heb je prikker in je voeten(bepaald kruid gebonden aan de streek en de droogte).
Maar de kinderen zijn het snel gewoon om hun slippers aan te doen ;) dus voor de oudere geen probleem.Wij komen graag nog eens terug naar deze top locatie en hebben hard genoten en raden dit aan bij vrienden en familie!
Luc Verhoeven from Mortsel,
Mooie gites gelegen op een rustige locatie tussen de wijngaarden met een fantastisch uitzicht waar je niet genoeg van krijgt. Eigenaars zijn lieve en vriendelijke mensen die steeds paraat staan om je verblijf zo aangenaam mogelijk te maken.
Alles wat je nodig hebt tijdens een vakantie is aanwezig in de gite.
Heerlijk om tot rust te komen en toch niet ver van vele toeristische plaatsen.Comment from Gregory Bassimon
Sonja en Luc bedankt voor de mooie positieve reactie!
Veel groeten, Theo en MarjanIreen Michielsen from Tilburg,

Grote kans dat ze ons nog eens terug zullen zien!Comment from Gregory Bassimon
Fijn om te weten dat jullie zo genoten hebben Ireen. We zien jullie zeker graag nog eens terug.
Veel groeten,
Theo en Marjan
Restaurants, food & wine
The region's many wine cellars are a must for tasting the great wines of Languedoc-Roussillon and Corbières, not forgetting the "Blanquette de Limoux", the oldest brut wine in the world, discovered by the miners of the Abbey of Saint Hilaire in 1531.
"TOQUES ET CLOCHERS": one of the biggest wine festivals, takes place every year on Palm Sunday in one of the 40 villages in the "Blanquette de Limoux" AOC. The winegrowers of the region invite you to taste their wines in a festive atmosphere, with music provided by numerous orchestras and bandas.
In the restaurant you can sample the cuisine of the "South" and cassoulet, a speciality of the region.
Activities
If you're a keen walker or mountain biker, you'll find a wide range of walks nearby, from the "grande rando" to a short stroll through the vineyards, ending with a wine tasting at one of our neighbours' vineyards....
The Aude offers white-water sports of all levels, from rafting to leisurely canoeing.
Mediterranean beaches such as Narbonne-Plage, St. Pierre and Gruissan are just an hour's drive away.
The Pyrenees are also an hour's drive away, for hiking in summer or skiing in winter.
