Bonjour! My name is Bernard. I grew up in the south of France and take great pleasure in being able to share the wonders and hidden treasures of France with you. I will provide you with everything you need for your stay in my exquisite fully furnished and equipped properties including towels, bed linens, a welcome basket, and 24-hour concierge services in case you should need them. It would be a pleasure to welcome you and have you stay in my property! Cheers and à bientôt! Bernard

The property was carefully converted into a family home by your hosts. The same family has lived in this village since the 17th century. The home is filled with interesting furniture, paintings, drawings, photos, and crafts. A terrace covered with antique tiles provides an ideal spot for outdoor meals. It overlooks the pool and gardens and has a great view of the countryside beyond. The warmth of the village, the charm of the countryside, and the history of this family dwelling combined make it an ideal retreat as well as a base for exploring the many cultural and historical aspects of Languedoc. From the covered stone terrace where you will enjoy taking all of your meals, one oversees down below both gardens where a variety of flowers abounds, the 11m x 5m swimming pool surrounded by a granite large edge, a great pool house and, in the distance for miles around, the countryside of vineyards, olive groves, and fields. Right at the edge of the terrace, a sofa awaits you for an afternoon nap. Read a magazine or a novel, or simply admire the surrounding countryside! Les Oliviers accommodates up to 10 guests in comfort.

Les Oliviers is a good base to explore many historical places, wine cellars, surrounding villages, and visit the nearby seashores of the Mediterranean. Attractions in the area. The village of Minerve, 7km from "Les Oliviers", was a strategic Cathars point and an important stopover for the pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostella in Spain during the Medieval times. It was also the home of Simon de Montfort. Fontfroide's Abbey, one of France's most visited Abbeys is located at just 25km away. Carcassonne, the largest and best-kept Medieval Castle in the world, seen in a number of international films, is a definite must for anyone staying in our area. The town of Carcassonne also deserves a visit. The Canal du Midi wanders around the town's edge. The covered market should not be missed while an eighteen-hole golf course awaits the real aficionados. Other things to note.
