Gîte
Chez Georges is located in Courtauly, a peaceful
working village (pop 72), located deep in rural southwest France
amidst endless cycling/walking trails and numerous farmers’ market
towns – 12 kms east of medieval Mirepoix, and 12 kms west
of Limoux with its many wineries and fine dining, and only 40 minutes
from the historic walled city of Carcassonne with its deluxe shops
and cafes.
An hour from the Mediterranean, or from Toulouse
- “the Paris
of the South”, and just an hour and a bit from duty-free
Andorra, or the Spanish border, this area boasts sunshine 300 days
a year.
Perfectly situated for daytrips - to climb breathtaking Cathare
chateaux - to sample up and coming Languedoc wines - to discover
abbeys and local artisans, or just to enjoy a seaside cafe or Michelin
restaurant, Chez Georges offers the ideal base for exploring this
exciting area.
Situated on the outside edge
of the village overlooking the valley and surrounding hills,
Chez Georges offers tranquil privacy. This
2 level home has been carefully renovated to include modern conveniences. Also
offering privacy, the two bedrooms are located on separate floors.
For dining al fresco, there
is a generous patio table on the herb-bordered terrace that overlooks
a croquet-size lawn with ancient walnut tree. The atmosphere
enhanced with the soothing sound of church bells, birdsong, and
the stream that borders the back of the garden.
And throughout the area, the
spectacular sites of the Cathare Country, with historic sites
that are readily accessible. |
