A cottage with character
This old stone cottage in a small village is a gem; comfortable, well furnished, and in a beautiful area. Local information from Marc and a greeting and orientation from Alain were both excellent. We ventured in a different direction each day and particularly enjoyed Mirepoix and its restaurants and Monday market. Special thanks to Alain.

Quirky, full of character and well equipped
Marc has renovated the property so that there’s a washing machine, dishwasher and plenty of hot water for the shower. But it’s still highly original with stone and wood stairs and features such as an amazing old stone sink in the kitchen. The garden is private and it was lovely sitting out in the roofed area which protected us from both the sun and rain! Thank you to Alain who provided a warm welcome when we arrived. We loved the area. The house is located midway between Limoux for wine tasting and Mirepoix for the fabulous Monday market. We also went to Carcassonne which we thought was a bit too ‘Disney ‘. We much preferred Montsegur and Peyrepertuse A highlight was walking up St Barthelemy. An interesting house to stay in and a lovely area with lots to see and do

Awesome experience
So amazing to be able to stay in this tiny and ancient village in an authentically renovated home. The house was comfortable with everything we needed. Hosts were very friendly & helpful and it was a great base for exploring the beautiful countryside all around. Thank you!

De très belles vacances paisibles et riches en découvertes de la région dans la maison de Marc, un super hôte qui bien que nous ne l'ayons pas rencontré s'est soucie de notre confort et de notre bien être et merci aussi à son super papa 😉

Au calme
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié cette maison pleine de charme à la décoration très soignée. Elle est très bien équipée et reste fraiche. Même le préau préserve des fortes chaleurs. Nous avons profité des jeux de société lors des heures les plus chaudes (joie de redécouvrir le Monopoly et Docteur Maboul !...)

voor eeuwig in ons hart
Marc en zijn vader hebben dit karaktervolle huis in een eeuwenoud dorp aan de voet van de Pyreneeën van de ondergang gered. Met veel liefde en met een verbazingwekkend oog voor detail hebben ze het omgetoverd tot een sfeervolle woning, waar het leven van vroeger doorheen schemert maar waar alles gericht is op gezelligheid en sfeer. Er is geen hoekje of er werd over nagedacht bij het restaureren. Overal vind je gezellig plaatsjes met authentieke voorwerpen. Het is gewoonweg wonderbaarlijk hoe dit huis weer tot leven is gekomen. We hebben ons vaak de bedenking gemaakt dat dit een werk van pure liefde is. We hebben dan ook enkele heerlijke weken doorgebracht in dit huis vol verhalen, meer nog, we hebben ons verblijf zelfs verlengd! In het dorp wonen er vriendelijke mensen, die spontaan een praatje beginnen. Het zijn veelal oudere mensen, en het is niet altijd makkelijk om hen te verstaan. Maar dat draagt bij aan de sfeer, en vriendelijkheid kent geen taal. Kortom: Courtauly en dit huis staan voor eeuwig in ons hart gegrift.

Dépaysement et calme assuré
5 jours passés trop vite. L’accueil d’Alain parfait... décontracté, il vous met à l’aise d’emblée et vous fait découvrir cette vielle bâtisse pleine de charme. L’endroit se veut rustique au bon sens du terme mais il ne manque absolument rien. Petits déjeuners et dîners pris tous les soirs sous l’auvent de la cour intérieure; il y fait bon et on y prolonge la soirée avec un verre de vin blanc bien frais jusqu’à ce que les heures de randonnées de la journée vous rappellent qu’il est temps d’aller dormir. La grande chambre est très agréable, la literie est bonne. La salle de douche attenante est également bien agréable . Les villes alentour méritent une visite: Mirepoix et son marché du lundi à ne pas manquer, Limoux, Fonjeaux.... Bref séjour 5 étoiles!!!!

Petite maison pleine de charme
Bien placé pour visiter la région, la maison a le charme d’une maison d’époque, mais avec le confort nécessaire. La mezzanine est un peu trop basse pour des adultes, mais correspond parfaitement pour des enfants entre 5 et 10-11 ans. Bien plus agréable qu’une chambre d’hôtel dans le contexte du couvre-feu. Merci à Marc et à Alain pour leur accueil
