L'Orée de la Cité

We are your hosts, Samira and Jim - an Anglo-French couple who have recently settled in Carcassonne after many years living in Asia and the Middle East. Jim is a bronze sculptor and painter, working from a fabulous studio space in the stone barn, while Samira works in education. Our home is the guardian's house near the entrance to the estate, while guest accommodation remains completely private, overlooking the gardens and pool on the other side of the grounds. 

Accommodation

The property features two independent, self-catering holiday homes, each fully equipped with its own kitchen and living areas. One house offers 6 bedrooms and 3 walk-in shower rooms; the other has 4 bedrooms and 2 walk-in shower rooms. During July and August both houses are exclusively rented together, accommodating up to 22 people. Renovated in 2015, each house is fully air-conditioned and heated.

The private estate is completely enclosed and accessed through a secure, coded gate. Free parking is available for up to ten vehicles. Mature trees shade the grounds, where you'll find an enclosed, private swimming pool and a barbecue area.

Location

L'Orée de la Cité is ideally situated at the foot of the Medieval Citadel of Carcassonne, with restaurants and bars only a short walk away. The vineyards and river Aude are also directly accessible on foot from the gates of the property, providing stunning views of the Pyrenees, the Black Mountains and the Citadel.
