Cottage near Carcassonne, Les Coquelicots - Pretty beamed cottage with lovely views
Cottage with 2 Bedrooms, Sleeps 4, Garden
Pretty, recently restored beamed cottage with lovely views, situated on the edge of a little village in the foothills of the Montagne Noire, just to the north of Carcassonne.
The cottage sleeps 4 in two bedrooms, one double and one twin. Both rooms have lovely views across the valley, and one has a balcony. There is a garden with a terrace to the rear of the house.
This is an area of outstanding natural beauty, steeped in history, and bathed in the glorious sunshine of the south of France. There truly is something for everyone here, the wild open moorland of the "garrigue", to the carefully tended vineyards of the Minervois, and the majestic Montagne Noire - the Black Mountain. If the great outdoors does not appeal, what about a little wine-tasting at one of the many "domaines" or visit the fabulous fairytale Cite of Carcassonne, and the Chateaux of Lastours, just a few minutes away

Local activities in and around Carcassonne, Languedoc-Roussillon
This is an area with so much to do, it is difficult to single out specific activities for attention.
This area is steeped in history from the earliest times. It is not for nothing that there are two World Heritage sites in Carcassonne, the Canal du Midi and the stunning mediaeval Cite de Carcassonne with its turrets and towers, a sight not to be missed.
Or visit Lastours, with its ruined castles, perched high on a series of rocky pinnacles, just a few minutes away by car, where gold has been mined since Roman times. Perhaps visit Rennes les Chateaux of "Da Vinci Code" fame.
However, for those who like the outdoors, the natural beauty of this area makes it a walker's paradise. There are an abundance of beautiful walks, many with views to the Pyrenees. The walking is suitable for all levels, from those who enjoy a quiet stroll with the family along the banks of the Canal du Midi, to the challenging Route des Cathars.
There are a number of fishing and bathing lakes nearby, and an excellent golf course at Carcassonne.
Near Carcassonne you will find the Lac de la Cavayere. There are 3 beaches, pedalos, crazy golf, and a snack bar/ice-creams
