Property Description:

Le Petit Reve is approximately 150 years old, and has stone walls, ceiling beams, shuttered windows, and terra cotta tile floors typical of the region's village homes.

The front door of the house leads directly into the large (17ft x 15ft) kitchen/dining room, equipped with a fireplace, a stereo/CD player, coffee maker, and ample cooking equipment.

The winding staircase leads to the bedroom (10ft x 14ft) with a king-sized bed and very large oak armoire, and decorated with watercolor paintings, antique maps and photographs. The armoire holds a large supply of bed linens, towels and extra pillows, as well as an iron and ironing board.

Right next to the bedroom is the bathroom (10ft x 7ft) with modern porcelain fixtures, including a large bathtub with shower hose.

A French couple who live around the corner are available for key delivery and drop-off, and general advice about the village and sightseeing.

Prices in high season are 55 euros per night, plus a linens fee of 28 euros per week.

Area Description:

Castelnau d'Aude, population 370, is a Languedoc village whose daily life is dominated by winemaking and grape-growing. Many residents own and work the surrounding vineyards. For their day-to-day needs, locals depend on the village's small general store, which carries everything from meat and vegetables to pajamas and dish towels (and, of course, wine).

Every weekday, different butchers, bakers and farmers bring their specialties by truck to the village's market square near the town hall and post office. A "depot de pain," just steps away from Le Petit Re¶¥, sells fresh bread every morning.

The neighboring village of La Redorte, 1.5 miles from Castelnau d'Aude, offers easy access to a wider range of services, including a large supermarket, gas station, ATM machine, cafes and restaurants.

Area Activities

Le Petit Reve is the perfect starting point for exploring the natural beauty, relaxed villages, and culinary surprises of the Languedoc-Roussillon region. Within a 20-minute drive from Castelnau d'Aude are a host of larger villages with weekly outdoor markets (Lezignan-Corbieres, Olonzac), wineries with tasting rooms (Homps, Pouzols-Minervois), and breathtaking views (the medieval village of Minerve). The nearby 17th-century Canal du Midi, which stretches from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, offers the chance to see the region by pleasure boat.

A half-hour drive west from Castelnau brings you to the walled city of Carcassonne. Another half-hour drive from Carcassonne brings you to Castelnaudary, the birthplace of cassoulet, southern France's famed stick-to-your-ribs pork and sausage casserole.

A half-hour drive east from Castelnau d'Aude takes you to Narbonne, with its renowned medieval cathedral and all the shopping, restaurants and nightlife you need during your stay. Just past Narbonne are the Mediterranean beaches of Narbonne-Plage and Gruissan - worth several visits, thanks to the region's mild climate and 300 days of sunshine a year.
