Environment ✧ river valley below Pyrenees, hillside vinyards, scrub woods and rocky outcrops
Services ✧ all
Access ✧ station 10mins walk; town/mainline station/airport 30mins: +1h Toulouse, +2h30 Barcelona, +5h30 Paris or night
Area ✧ a fairly lively little riverfront town in a locality with (prettier) typically French villages and castles all about, and offering varied attractions heading into the hills, plus down the lower valley and towards the plains; is well known for is sparkling wine, and has a nice square
✦ during the off season, there's carnival events every weekend for several months helps offset the slightly dreary climate
✦ a nearby village hosts a well known weekly creative/hippie market with many foreign alternative folks living around
✦ in 35mins drive another small town has an even more picture-postcard medieval square
only one there-and-back hike from the door, but climbs onto a ridge going a long way; others start 20mins along lanes; good variety for biking
✦ more adventurous routes closeby (and possible by bus); wild swimming and warm springs; cathar castles, great countryside, mystical woods, forests, gorges and a via ferrata in around 30mins
✦ many activity centres offering kayak, rafting, canyoning, climbing etc, plus 2 lakes also 30mins drive
station with all trips at €1 with Carcassonne (last 7pm) in 30mins; slated for reopening into the mountains around 2025 putting more villages and Quillan at the end of the line in reach for better hiking/biking
✦ daily Barcelona train April-September, a seasonal flight to Porto, and 4 more cheapflight airports including for Morocco, plus there's a Lisbon Flixbus; the Paris night train runs only some days (daily may be restored), all other cases require a change in Narbonne or Toulouse
✦ the heart of the mountains is a hefty drive at 1h30, same for the coast so not reasonable for a day out, however there is a lake in 35mins with boats and SUP but the rivers are much better, and there's close peaks of 1200m
✦ the climate is better than down in the valley because it's sheltered from the winds that carry rain down there, thus there's a decent number of mild sunny days to take advantage of the outdoors even in winter

✦ 250m2 of main building on each of 3 floors
✦ 65m2 terrace
✦ 240m2 (slightly raised) garden with trees and wall from street
