Les Cerisiers is a large house on the outskirts of the medieval village of Chalabre, surrounded by farmland and forest in one of France's 'hidden secrets'. The area is wonderful for walkers and cyclists and the mountains are very close. There are lots of family-orientated attractions close-by and the Mediterranean beaches are an easy drive away. The local French people are very friendly and welcome visitors. Chalabre is just one kilometre away and has a small supermarket, cafes, restaurants, doctor, pharmacy, butcher, baker, etc. The accommodation comprises the complete top floor of the house with separate entrance and separate access to the pool and grounds. The owners live on the ground floor and there are no other guests. The modern fitted kitchen is equipped with electric range cooker, washing machine, microwave, fridge/freezer and Neff dishwasher. One bedroom is a double with ensuite shower and wc. The second bedroom is a double and the third has twin beds. The main bathroom has a full-size bath with shower - perfect for bathing the children at bedtime. And if guests find they can’t leave work behind there is a desk and free wifi, subject to reasonable use. We provide a welcome pack of basic food items, just in case you arrive too late for the shops. Outside - a door from the dining room leads onto a private balcony overlooking the garden and the swimming pool beyond. Steps lead down to the garden, which has a barbecue area and table in the shade of tall trees. A few steps further lead to the 10 metre x 5 metre swimming pool. A large play/recreation area is beyond the pool; as the pool is fully fenced, children can play safely in the garden separated from the pool area. Beyond the immediate garden, a gate leads to woodland and the L'Hers river, or you can turn left or right and follow the field boundaries which follow the river banks. Or just curl up with a book in the shade of a tree and relax in the peace and quiet. Beyond - the area is heaven for walkers and mountain bikers, with literally hundreds of official paths and tracks leading through the hills and mountains (maps are available to consult and plan your routes). Road cyclists can travel for miles on quiet, almost traffic-free roads. The area offers a wide range of attractions within easy reach; the beautiful medieval town of Mirepoix with its Monday market, the dinosaur museum at Esperaza, the prehistoric cave paintings at Niaux (one of the few remaining where you can actually visit the original paintings rather than replicas) and the remarkable city of Carcassonne, a World Heritage site that from a distance looks like a Disney movie set. The hot springs at Ax-Le-Thermes are housed in modern, purpose-built baths and are a great outing for everyone. You are in the heart of Cathar country here, with its rich heritage going back hundreds of years. Fans of Kate Mosse ('Labyrinth', 'Sepulchre' and 'Citadel') will feel at home, and there are many Cathar castles to visit, most of which are perched on mountain-tops. We provide all bed linen, towels and pool towels. \----------------------------------------------------------------------------- « Les Cerisiers est une grande maison située à la périphérie du village médiéval de Chalabre, entourée de terres agricoles et de forêts, dans l'un des "secrets cachés" de la France. La région est idéale pour les randonneurs et les cyclistes et les montagnes sont très proches. Il y a de nombreuses attractions familiales à proximité et les plages de la Méditerranée sont facilement accessibles en voiture. Les Français de la région sont très amicaux et accueillent volontiers les visiteurs. Chalabre se trouve à un kilomètre et dispose d'un petit supermarché, de cafés, de restaurants, d'un médecin, d'une pharmacie, d'une boucherie, d'une boulangerie, etc. Le logement comprend tout le dernier étage de la maison avec une entrée séparée et un accès séparé à la piscine et au terrain. Les propriétaires vivent au rez-de-chaussée et il n'y a pas d'autres hôtes. La cuisine moderne est équipée d'une cuisinière électrique, d'un lave-linge, d'un micro-ondes, d'un réfrigérateur/congélateur et d'un lave-vaisselle Neff. L'une des chambres est une chambre double avec douche et toilettes. La deuxième chambre est une chambre double et la troisième a des lits jumeaux. La salle de bains principale est équipée d'une baignoire et d'une douche, ce qui est idéal pour donner le bain aux enfants à l'heure du coucher. Et si vous ne pouvez pas laisser le travail derrière vous, il y a un bureau et le wifi gratuit, sous réserve d'une utilisation raisonnable. À l'extérieur, une porte de la salle à manger mène à un balcon privé donnant sur le jardin et la piscine. Des marches mènent au jardin, qui dispose d'un coin barbecue et d'une table à l'ombre de grands arbres. Quelques marches supplémentaires mènent à la piscine de 10 mètres x 5 mètres. La piscine étant entièrement clôturée, les enfants peuvent jouer en toute sécurité dans le jardin, séparé de l'espace piscine. Au-delà du jardin immédiat, un portail mène à la forêt et à la rivière L'Hers. Vous pouvez également tourner à gauche ou à droite et suivre les limites des champs qui longent les berges de la rivière. Vous pouvez aussi vous blottir avec un livre à l'ombre d'un arbre et vous détendre dans le calme et la tranquillité. Au-delà - la région est un paradis pour les randonneurs et les vététistes, avec littéralement des centaines de sentiers officiels et de pistes menant à travers les collines et les montagnes (des cartes sont disponibles pour consulter et planifier vos itinéraires). Les cyclistes peuvent parcourir des kilomètres sur des routes tranquilles, presque sans circulation. La région offre un large éventail d'attractions à portée de main : la belle ville médiévale de Mirepoix avec son marché du lundi, le musée des dinosaures d'Esperaza, les peintures rupestres préhistoriques de Niaux (l'un des rares endroits où l'on peut visiter les peintures originales plutôt que des répliques) et la remarquable cité de Carcassonne, un site classé au patrimoine mondial qui, de loin, ressemble à un décor de film de Disney. Les sources d'eau chaude d'Ax-Le-Thermes sont situées dans des thermes modernes, construits à cet effet, et constituent une excellente sortie pour tous. Vous êtes ici au cœur du pays cathare, dont le riche patrimoine remonte à des centaines d'années. Les amateurs de Kate Mosse ("Labyrinthe", "Sépulcre" et "Citadelle") se sentiront chez eux, et de nombreux châteaux cathares sont à visiter, la plupart étant perchés au sommet des montagnes. Nous fournissons tous les draps, les serviettes de toilette et les serviettes de piscine. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the villa: WiFi ### Parking and transport -
