    Prachtig domein op locatie met veel mogelijkheden
    Het domein straalt echt een Zuid- Franse sfeer uit, inclusief zonnebloemen en lavendelgeur. De gite (cabardes) was ruim en comfortabel en van alles voorzien. De eigenaren Joep en Miranda zijn heel gastvriendelijk en maken zelfs hun eigen honing en olijfolie. Er is een fijn zwembad en er zijn speeltuigen voor de kinderen. De locatie biedt mogelijkheden tot veel uitstappen, 1 week is eigenlijk te kort. Een beetje leven als God in Frankrijk is hier zeker van toepassing!

  • 10 stars

    Wij hebben het ontzettend naar onze zin gehad in La Bade, prachtig verblijf, mooi ingericht, prachtig verzorgde tuin met zwembad. Mooi gelegen met mooi uitzicht. Maar vooral de gastvrijheid van Joep en Miranda was heel prettig. Heerlijk gegeten en gedronken tijdens de table d'hote die door hen georganiseerd, gekookt en bediend werden. We komen graag terug! Yvonne en Hans.

    Vous ne pourrez pas être déçus par ce gîte.
    Il est d’une très grande qualité et encore mieux que l’annonce.
    Ce gîte est très confortable, équipé dans le moindre détail, extrêmement propre, entouré de très beaux jardins et d’une piscine très agréable.
    Les environs sont exceptionnels. Vous êtes au calme dans la campagne avec une vue extraordinaire, entouré de quelques villages très mignons et de belles balades.
    Le canal du Midi passe à 3-4 km dans la vallée. Vous êtes à 10 minutes de l’autoroute, 30 minutes de Carcassonne, 1h de Toulouse, 1h de la mer, à proximité des Châteaux Cathares, Albi à 1h30, …
    Vous êtes entourés de restaurants sympathiques (excellentes recommandations de Joep et Miranda)
    Joep et Miranda sont très attentionnés. Joep nous avait préparé une quiche salade pour notre arrivée (c’est beaucoup plus confortable que de devoir se précipiter sur un hypermarché ou de faire le choix d’un resto dans la précipitation)
    Joep organisait une « livraison » de pain tout les matins, …
    Sincèrement, vous pouvez foncer sans craintes pour réserver.

Restaurants, food & wine

Eating & drinking is one of the favorite pastimes of the locals and the area is blessed with nice restaurants, fantastic markets and many wine estates where a nice glass of wine can be tasted. But enjoying a cup of coffee on a sleepy terrace in the area or picnicking along the beautiful Canal du Midi is of course not to be missed.
There is a lot to see and do in the country of the Cathars. We are happy to help you discover this beautiful region.

Activities

The property is surrounded by sunflower fields, vineyards and olive groves. There are no busy roads which run along the domain and there is plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors and unwind.

In the immediate vicinity there is lots to see and do. The walled city of Carcassonne, the largest castle in Europe, is only 15 km away. Near Carcassonne is also a large lake with a nice sandy beach (ideal for children) and an adventure park with climbing and clambering tracks which is one of the highlights for slightly older kids.

The beautiful surroundings with hills, mountains, rivers, lakes and typical French villages has much to offer in terms of sporting activities; mountain biking, cycling, hiking, whitewater rafting, canoeing, swimming, fishing, boating, caves visits, skiing, windsurfing, catamaran sailing, horseback riding, golf and much more.

Eating & drinking is amongst the favorite pastimes of the locals and the area is blessed with great restaurants, fantastic markets and many vineyards where a glass of wine can be tasted. But a nice cup of coffee on a sleepy outdoor café nearby or a cosy picnic along the beautiful Canal du Midi is also un-resistable.

There is a lot to see and do in the Cathar country of the Aude. Your hosts are more than happy to share their favorite places and help you find the gems of the region (on and off the beaten track).
