A real farm holiday in sunny southern France.

Rainbows End Farm has something for everyone. A ramblers paradise: wide, well marked tracks criss-cross the hills all around and several lead off the farms land. For those who like to move faster it is ideal biking, riding and quad country. The well equipped kitchen is ideal for cooking the fresh vegetables from our gardens and farm products bought from local markets. Children love feeding the animals or paddling in the stream at the bottom of the gardens. Nature lovers can never quite believe the variety of wild life, from butterflies to badgers, wild boars to falcons. And all of this can be viewed from the large south facing bedrooms. The modern bathroom and a soak in the tub is a treat after a day walking the high hills. Pick flowers from the gardens to put on the large farm dining table. A BBQ in the courtyard and a glass of wine as the sun sets over the hills is as near to perfection and as far from city life as you can get.

In the heart of the national park of the Haute Languedoc Rainbows End Farm is a place to stay for people who like truly unspoilt countryside but within reach of Mediterranean beaches, the walled city of Carcassonne, Cathar castles and the Spanish border. There are endless possibilities for day trips. There is a riding school 15 minutes drive away offering trekking in the hills. The wide, well-marked rambling tracks are paradise for mountain biking or hiking. Situated at the beginning of the hill country the scenery is a mixture of Mediterranean garrigue, pine forest, green meadows, waterfalls, ferns. The scenery is dramatic but not intimidating with the gentle colours of chestnuts and walnuts mingled with hazels and oak trees. The Cathar city of Minerve is just over the hill. Classed as one of the most beautiful villages of France it puts on spectacular light shows throughout the summer. The domaines of the well known Minervois region offer wine tastings and you can buy direct.

Local activities swimming, walking, cycling, fishing, horse riding, mountain biking

Notes to the rental rates

  • A security deposit of £100 is required. Linen and towels are provided. Included in the price are water, gas, electricity and end of stay cleaner. For the cooler early October evenings there is a plentiful supply of wood in the courtyard and this is of course included in the price.
    It is possible to book for less than a week, particularly outside the months of July and August. The price quoted above is for 2 people sharing a room with breakfast included.
  • We are only half an hours drive from supermarkets, banks and 'civilisation' and just 4 kms from the little village shop in Ferrals les Montagnes. If you don't want the hassle of going shopping and would rather be hiking over the hillsides and through the forest or just hanging out with a glass of wine and a book we can arrange to shop for you. There is a generous sized freezer in the kitchen and plenty of fresh farm vegetables which you can buy direct from us.
  • If you want to be really lazy and cared for we can cook for you to your own special menu or one of our suggestions using organically grown vegetables from our gardens and local farm produce

The market town of St. Pons is half an hours drive and as well as the two supermarkets and bank with a cash distributor there is a wonderful farmers market on Wednesday mornings. Going down towards the coast La Livinière has shops and excellent wine but Olonzac is the nearest large town with all facilities. It is half an hours drive and worth making the trip on a Tuesday which is market day. It also has a leisure lake with picnicking facilities, swimming and sailing. Minerve (16kms) has many restaurants, cafés and art galleries. A number of the local farmers sell honey, cheeses and vegetables direct.

Ramblers Paradise

The National Park of the Haute Languedoc is renowed for its hiking paths. You can set out from the farm in all directions and although we do not offer accompanied walking tours we have detailed local maps and can advise you on walks. The walk that takes you from the farm to the high hills above is known throughout the world for its fossils. Most of our recommended walks take about 4 to 5 hours and are about 14 kms long bringing you home in a loop but we can collect you at the end of a walk.
