We had the most wonderful holiday at the property. The property is on one side of the valley opposite the village of Olargues. We would swim every morning in the pool and have breakfast on the terrace overlooking the village and the surrounding mountains. We felt very welcome and comfortable in the property. We especially enjoyed sleeping in the mezzanine bedroom with lovely views in the morning. It was very airy and cool, and the bed was very comfortable. We also enjoyed trying to work out the code of the church bells! The village has several small shops, including a boulangerie, butcher, and general store. One evening, we walked to the local pizza place and had fresh pizza for supper, perfect for staying local.
There are many activities nearby, from hiking to cycling and canoeing. We hired bikes from the nearby garage in Mons -la-Trivalle, a few minutes' drive away and spent the day cycling the Voie Verte. The trail is open year-round, and the scenery is beautiful. Walking the Gorges d'Heric was a wonderful surprise. The white-water canoeing down the River Orb was exhilarating! We visited Carcassonne, Béziers, and Montpellier. We have fallen in love with Olargues and the surrounding area and look forward to returning. Thank you to our hosts for sharing this wonderful home.
