The villa is located within the city of Carcassonne, in the region of Languedoc Roussillon, South West France. The snow-capped Pyrenees are visible in the distance but the long sandy beaches of the Mediterranean are only a one hour drive away. The Spanish border, a mere 120 kilometres south, makes for an interesting excursion where sea and mountains meet. Tiny traditional villages, as popularised in the recent television programme 'French Leave', are scattered across the area, some dominated by the castles of this Cathar region. More sophisticated past-times are to be had in the elegant cities of Narbonne and Toulouse, famous for excellent shopping and grand sightseeing.
