About the House
The perfect holiday destination
A much loved family home with stunning views across to the Montagnes Noires and Spain. The house is situated 15km from Revel, voted one of the prettiest covered markets in France, 30km from Castelnaudray and the Canal du Midi. Litrone is on an ancient pilgrimage route, with the 12 Stations of The Cross and 3 Chapels sitting above you. Equidistant from Toulouse and Carcassone airports (60km). We are happy to collect guests from the airports.
Location: The Languedoc is steeped in history, with endless fields of vines and sunflowers, the impressionist painters got much of their inspiration locally. Albi has the largest brick built Cathedral in France and was the home of Toulouse Lautrec. There is a Goya Museum in Castre. Cezanne, Van Gogh and Gauguin all painted in this area. Numerous bastide towns provide much to see and do. Carcassonne is the largest medieval fortress in France, a city steeped in history with Michelin restaurants and endless boutiques. Litrone is 1.15 hours from Leucate, the longest sandy beach in South West France, with a fabulous beach bar/restaurant/loungers, well worth a visit. We can provide guides, drivers and suggestions for days trips.
For golf lovers, Palmola, a Championship golf club ( top 10 ten course in France) is a mere 45 minute drive. Golf Club de Juillac a 34 minute drive and Le Domaine Golf Estolosa is the same.
