Polfages French Gites between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean, Aude, France - Calmont Reviews

The photos of Jj French bites do not do the property justice. We stayed in gite Mazamet and it was huge! Large open plan kitchen/dining on the ground floor that looked out onto the terrace, garden and pool. 3 large bedrooms upstairs, each with a large ensuing bathroom. All very well appointed. Everything worked, and the beds were super comfy. This is an old (but modernised) building that was easy to keep cool during the day with shutters.

Andrew and Jo were super helpful, and the kids loved having tHe dogs and chickens hanging around. The views from the pool over the valley were amazing, and watching the sunsets from Andrew's terrace became a bit of a nightly habit.

Andrew and Jo are very well integrated into the local community, with all of the local gossip..........

We visited Montsegur castle, Carcassone cite, Carcassone plage ( a must for the adventure water area), St Hilaire Abbey. Mirepoix is an amazing medieval town. If you're visiting Cacassone, park in Gambetti square and walk up over the Pont Vieux for the best views.

We'd love to return next year, definitely timing a visit with the Fanjeaux fete, and hopefully bringing our friends!
