The Experience
The house is packed with warmth and colour, from the ochre walls and the terracotta tiles to the polished old wooden floorboards. There’s plenty of space in the living room for everyone to sit with ease, there are books and games for wet weather days, videos and a sound system. A large wooden table in the homely, well-equipped kitchen will make indoor meals a joy.
Mostly you’ll be out in the lovely garden, chasing the sun, swimming in the pool (there’s a smaller one for children) or seeking shade with a book under one of the mature pine or plane trees. There’s a barbecue out here, a covered patio for al fresco meals, ping-pong, pétanque and a bowling space. Long summer evenings will be lovely.
Upstairs are calming bedrooms with views – a double on the first floor with an en suite and a twin with a shower, then on the second floor two doubles and a twin. Sleep soundly listening to the wind in the trees and the chattering of cicadas.

Location
The neighbourhood
The Canal du Midi runs close by and you can hire bikes and have them delivered to the house. The towpath takes you all the way into town and there are lovely cycles along quiet roads criss-crossing vineyards. Trèbes, 5km, has a Sunday morning market and a choice of restaurants. Medieval Carcassonne has its market on a Saturday morning, art galleries, museums and music concerts as well as eateries.
Local points of interest from Thomas Sananes
- The enchanting Cité de Carcassonne is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With its château comtal, two walls and 52 towers, it floats above the Aude River, the vineyards and the town and seems to have sprung from the imagination.
- Four royal fortresses join forces on the long, arid ridge overlooking the village of Lastours. On this unique site, the history of Bronze Age man intersects with that of the Cathars, villagers, craftsmen, farmers... all seeking protection on this mountain.
- The Lac de la Cavayère and the Raymond Chésa leisure complex are close to the Cité Médiévale. You’ll find picnic areas, pedalos, inflatable water games, a waterski lift, paddleboat hire, several beach volleyball courts and a forest acrobatic park.
- The Chalet Beach in Gruissan was made famous by the film ‘37°2 le matin’. An iconic site in the Aude, the houses on stilts are a real curiosity where you can recharge your batteries. There's plenty to do here, from swimming to paddle-boarding.
- The Aude is a region renowned for its gastronomy and the richness of its terroir – it’s the land of "living well" and "eating well". On the menu: the famous Castelnaudary cassoulet, truffles and olives, chocolate, Blanquette and many other tasty products!
- You can't visit the Occitanie region without visiting the Cathar fortresses! Perched on rocky outcrops several hundred metres high in a spectacular natural setting, they are the very essence of the Cathar countryside. The experience is unforgettable!

Introducing
Thomas Sananes
Thomas fell in love with the Domaine and moved here with his wife and two boys. He spent a year studying wine before throwing himself passionately into all stages of winemaking, using beautiful clay amphores and stoneware barrels for ageing. He's also a keen photographer (you'll see some of his pictures on the walls) and motorbike rider and has an amazing sound system in his cave à vin.
I was delighted to meet Thomas, enjoy his enthusiasm over this new way of life, and of course to taste his delicious wine. The gîte is so welcoming with its red shutters open to let in the fresh clean air and the sunshine. A perfect place for a real holiday, with space and comfort for all. The house feels so friendly, I can well imagine staying happily here and enjoying long peaceful days.
