environment
between agricultural plains and the high mountains; good trails from doorstep
servicesbakery, supermarket at door; large village 10mins bike
accessstation 30mins bus, +1h15 Toulouse, 6–7h Paris or overnight; airport 1h drive
area
✧ somewhat elevated yet very good winter sun
✦ very calm rural little village on edge of small mountains and little town but not at all lively
supermarket 30mins walk / 5mins bike
✦ town centre 10mins bike
✦ 20mins walk to a trout farm
✦ 40mins walk to next village with an epicerie/cafe
✦ hikes from door climbing to 1200m/montsegur castle easily in 2h, and 2300m in 5h
tennis 5mins walk
✦ all year kayaking and rafting 30mins
✦ lake 25mins drive 40mins bike walks and biking from door reaching waterfalls and woods, montsegur and climbing up to 2300m in 5h / 2h bike
✦ 10mins bike to a greenway that reaches Mirepoix in 2h
✦ 25mins drive for nordic skiing with lifts
bus 6–7 times daily but stop is 20mins walk, half not pedestrian friendly but not busy; nonetheless the bus makes it easy to be independent and reduces pickup effort though generally an outing to town could coincide; last bus regrettably 6pm
✦ electric scooters would solve this giving easy access to the town and other buses, nontheless a car/minibus would be essential
✦ two good towns of Foix and Mirepoix both 30mins and several nice villages
✦ Carcassonne is 1h15 so plausible for daytrips
✦ Airport would be Toulouse (not Carcassonne) with 1h15 train and 30mins bus both ends
from Paris the night train departs 10pm and arrives 9am thus great for connectivity but can be more expensive than simply overnighting, otherwise 7h with 1 change and last at 1pm
✦ from Barcelona (R3,TER) a single 30min change at the top of the Pyrenees, last 2:30pm (3 earlier but with 1h30 change); is hoped that a direct Barcelona-Toulouse train will be reintroduced
✦ there's also an overnight bus from Barcelona which allows for later flights without having to overnight but is 7h (10pm–5am, 1h30 change for train)
✦ last train to Foix from Toulouse is actually quite late (8:45pm/9:45pm fridays) nontheless could do pickups (20min drive)
there's a very pleasant public streambank directly opposite just over the old stone bridge next to the house
✦ the village owns an old ruined factory opposite comprising some sheds and 1000m2 of land which is planned for demolition and restoration into a park spanning stream and canal; could be possible to preserve one of the sheds as a public coworking space
✦ the village also owns a truly impressive old factory building (Ets. Bernadou) having a 700m2 footprint next to the canal with unsupported 16m roof trusses its entire length; currently unused and slated for redevelopment but with no current plans; not unduly difficult if gradually converted as coworking/innovation/events space
the neigbouring property (160m2) appears abandoned and may come onto the market for easy affordable expansion
