Puivert has much to engage the visitor. Not only is its imposing Cathar Castle worthy of a visit, but the Quercorb museum in the heart of Puivert is dedicated to music and the history of the local traditions and crafts. Excursions can be made to the nearby market towns of Chalabre and Quillan, both untouched by modern tourism. The medieval town of Mirepoix is stunning and described by many guidebooks as “a hidden gem”. This is 30 kilometres away and an easy bike ride. Limoux is the centre for Cremant and Blanquette wines offering numerous caves for wine tasting (and purchasing!) It hosts an annual carnival from January to April, when the streets are alive to the sounds of troubadours and musicians. Carcassonne boasts 2 UNESCO World Heritage Sites: an enchanting fortified medieval city and the Canal du Midi, as well as an arts festival drawing performers from across Europe. Nearby activities include white-water rafting, tennis, horse riding, gliding and miles of mountain paths to hike.

5 out of 5

Summer 2007/2008

Kenvin Terling, Essex
Review Submitted: November 24, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We have stayed in this property for the past two summers, once as a party of 5 and once as a party of 8. The property is exactly as described, very comfortable and in beautiful surroundings. The pool is excellent with plenty of shade if needed. The garden is huge, with plenty of grass for games amd shared for sitting out. Service was excellent. The neighbours are very friendly and helpful.
The position is excellent, very secluded but a 10 minute(if that) walk from the village of Puivert. The baker is good and the small supermarket perfectly adequate with larger shops at Chalabre only 10 minutes by car, or 20 minutes by bicycle. The area is excellent for walking and cycling and the lake at Puivert(and its snack bar) good fun.
Wednesday evenings at the lake are great for eating out al fresco, very informal and good simple food. The Afghan restaurant has original food, very good, and pizzas which, I have no doubt, are equally good.
Our party varied in age from 80+ to 8, with 3 children 11-15. All had a great time. The oldest member of our party was quite ill (nothing to do with the house or area) and the doctor and pharmacy in Chalabre were both excellent.
There are plenty of things to do - aerial parks near Quillan, canoeing on the Aude, cycling on the roads or the old railway from Mirepoix or plenty of more hardcore mountain biking if you like it. Mirepoix is lovely to look at (the centre) but too busy for me.
I have been to Carcassonne on a number of occasions, to the airport or the modern town but have never wanted to go to the medieval city. We did this year and loved it! It is touristy but it is very interesting and good fun. I recommend it, though I think it would be very hot indeed on a hot day.
In short, loved the house, love the area and will be back. We have never been back to the same house in France two years in a row before - we did here. That must say something.

Review Submitted: October 13, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 boys aged 9 to 14) had a wonderful relaxing week at this spacious and characterful house. The pool is generously sized compared to most rental villas and we particularly enjoyed having meals down at the poolhouse.The weather was generally good but the classic video collection was much appreciated on the cool overcast days.
Easy walk or cycle to the bakers in the morning. For evenings,the Afghan restaurant does great pizzas as well as Afghan specialities- ideal for families.On wednesday evening there is a lively market in the village with wine tasting opportunities,plenty of food stalls and a "street party" atmosphere.
Recommended daytrips include the market at Mirepoix, jousting at Carcassonne(good for kids), white water rafting and Rennes le Chateau (not just for dan brown geeks!)
Overall, a great house in an excellent location.Ticks all the boxes! Highly recommended.

Review Submitted: October 3, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We spent two weeks here in August, 2 couples and 5 teenage children. It worked out very well. House was well equipped, clean and nicely organised. The garden is beautiful, well shaded with a very enjoyable pool. The house is conveniently located in a beautiful area. An ideal house for a peaceful holiday, offering enough space and entertainment for restless children or a good base for exploring the area, with possibility for some excellent walks.
