Spacious Gite with Pool and Jacuzzi in Arques, Aude, Languedoc, sleeps 4 Reviews

My wife and I had a wonderful stay in tis well equipped and very comfortable gite. The owners were ever helpful and friendly but at the same time unobtrusive. The village is everything a French village should be with its wonderful boulangerie using a wood fired oven to bake exquisite bread. The countryside is simply stunning and from the gite you can be on well marked footpaths into the forests and hills rewarding you with fantastic views over the valley and the surrounding area. it is a part of France full of history as well and visit to the many Cathar castles are easily possible including the magnificently restored castle on the outskirts of the village. We also rated visits to Limoux, Carcassonne and Lagrasse, all easily accessible within an hour of the gite. The market at Esperaza on a Sunday was quite something. We enjoy hill walking and there are many fine walks in the area, with steep climbs and lofty views of the Pyrenees in the distance.
A great and relaxing holiday and the gite was everything we could have wanted.
