Location Highlights
Situated in the Lauragais, a picturesque region between Toulouse and Carcassonne, the house sits just outside the village’s ancient walls, allowing for convenient vehicle access and that rare outdoor space. The area is renowned for its historical significance, home to fortified Cathar settlements dating back to the 13th century. Traditional lavoir (communal laundry sinks) fed by hillside springs remain a testament to the locale’s heritage.

The St Férréol lake, less than 10 km away, is popular for swimming, water sports, and lakeside dining, all easily accessible by bicycle. Castelnaudary is recognised for its signature dish, cassoulet, reflecting the region's culinary traditions. Local restaurants increasingly feature regional produce as part of diverse and contemporary menus.
Additional attractions include an airfield, a treetop adventure course, a canal museum, and various recreational lakes. Toulouse (80 km) and Carcassonne (50 km) provide further cultural and historical interest. Within approximately 90 minutes, both the Mediterranean coast and the Pyrenees are reachable.
