Surroundings

Maison Hirondelles is located on the edge of the village of Caudies de Fenouilledes in a new estate, approximately 15 years old. There are houses around but it is generally a very quiet area and set well back from the main road and has no houses overlooking and actually has fantastic views from the terrace at the side and rear of the house.
The village of Caudies has some commerce which includes a, butchers, bar/restaurant, chemist, small shop which sells baguettes, doctors and hairdressers. The larger town of Saint Paul de Fenouillet is under 10 minutes drive where you will find 2 banks, a large Carrefour, more shops and bars and cafes , boulangeries and a fuel station.
The village of Caudies dates back to medieval times and the old ramparts can still be seen with houses built in to the walls. The area is encircled by vineyards, in fact the whole of the Agly valley is vineyards which means that in all the surrounding villages you can go wine tasting as much as you like and buy a few bottles to take home, some of them even offer lunches too and there is no need to book, just turn up early.
There is a lot of interesting history in the area too, 3 great Cathar castles to be explored, the Roman aqueduct at Ansignan and lots of lovely old villages to be seen. Perpignan is 50 minutes away, Carcassonne with the Canal du Midi nearby an hour, beaches and ski slopes less than an hour. There are also thermal baths and a number of lakes nearby with activities for all. Perfectly situated for your holiday needs.

    Leuk huis, alles is aanwezig. De enige minpuntjes waren het zwembad zeil. Best ingewikkeld en zwaar openen en dicht maken. Tijdens het weekend is er best wat lawaai hinder (wijk). Maar verder, leuke woning, mooi uitzicht op de bergen. Peter is altijd bereikbaar voor vragen, en heeft ook tips om dingen te bezoeken. Dichtstbijzijnde supermarkt is in saint paul de fenouillet.

    Heel fijn huis van alle gemakken voorzien. Het zwembad is geweldig. Op maandag lekker pizza gehaald in het dorpje, zeker de moeite waard. Wij hadden van te voren een korte wandeling ontdekt die in dit dorp start en door de wijnvelden en bossen gaat (ca. 5 km) hele mooie omgeving. Het dorpje zelf is klein, maar heeft wel een winkel die de basisbenodigdheden verkoopt, met vriendelijk personeel. Onze kinderen vonden het ook erg fijn dat de Wifi sterk was zodat ze filmpjes konden kijken of een spelletje konden spelen op de telefoon. De communicatie met de beheerder gaat erg soepel en hij denkt graag mee. Door corona was het allemaal erg onzeker of het verblijf door kon gaan en daar konden we via de site van gites makkelijk contact over opnemen met de beheerder. Ook onze wens om de reservering last minute nog aan te passen wegens andere omstandigheden werd fijn over meegedacht. Wij raden dit huis zeker aan!!!

Restaurants, food & wine

There is the bar/restaurant in Caudies. It may be a limited menu but what Marius serves is fresh and wholesome and generally good value. There are other restaurants in the surrounding villages of Lapradelle , Saint Paul, Maury, Estagel and Quillan, in some of the villages there is often a Pizza van which serves fresh pizzas made in front of you and cooked in a wood fired oven. One visits Caudies on Mondays.
Wine tasting in this area is obligatory and you will find some wines a lot better than others but that does depend on your palate , be it, red , rose or white you will find one that you will want to take home just to re live your holiday in Caudies.
