Languedoc Roussillon

living in the Haute Vallee de l'Aude

Come and visit our beautiful region

We live in a small village called Fa, with its very own visigoth ruin, between Carcassonne and Quillan. The area is surrounded by fascinating history, and mythology. Rennes le Chateau within cycling distance (up hill all the way...), Limoux and its blanquette, the skiing, the swimming, and not too far, the Mountains... the Sea, hang on, i forgot esperaza!

Esperaza is a small village, with a large market. On sunny sundays, of which there are plenty, the market square explodes into a frenzy of meetings, spending, coffee drinking (and the rest). There is often impromtu music, bands play and processions take place. To stay in esperaza i recommend the maison de la riviere, a non-smoking chambre d`hotes run by Roy and Jo, among other possibilities.
Sometimes you can see all your friends on a sunday morning and not do any of your shopping...
Rennes le bains - the hot baths are amazing. There are several to chose from and each holds its own special atmosphere. A "hippy"-attracting village with a reputation to uphold, it is full of contrasts.
Rennes le Chateau - since Dan Brown's book this hill top village needs little introduction
