We, Anya and Axel, have been involved in environmental and animal protection for many years. We want to create a place that allows our guests to experience a climate-neutral holiday. The beginning of this is our small biological purification plant, which cleans waste water and returns it to the natural cycle. It is regularly maintained and checked.

Carcassonne
When most people think of Carcassonne, they think of the massive medieval citadel sitting on the hill overlooking the new town of Carcassonne. It’s no wonder the castle dominates the town in people’s minds – it is France’s second-most visited tourist spot after the Tour Eiffel. Mountains
Occitanie is a cyclist & hikers paradise. From flat canal banks to undulating vineyards and steep mountain roads; whatever your style there is, something is here for you. There is an excellent local bike rental business that are very happy to deliver and pick up. Wine You won’t find a better region in the world to go wine tasting. The wine makers in Occitanie are keen to show off their vineyards, offer tastings and talk about their latest creations. Lakes There are a lot of lakes in Occitanie to explore: Lac de Montbell (~25 km away), La Cavayère and Bassin de Saint-Ferréol (~40km away). Grottes There are hundreds of caves scattered all over Occitanie. Discover the origin of humankind in the caves of the Cro-Magnon. Canal The Canal du Midi is a UNESCO-World-Heritage-Site. The ~240km long Canal is one of the greatest construction works of the 17th century. Markets There is something special about a French Market; somehow it epitomises much of what goes to create the unique character of France – the lack of haste, the gentle friendliness of the people who live here and, above all, an abundance of great fresh products.

It meanders along side the river Aude which is literally littered with centres for white water rafting, kayaking, cannyonning & rock climbing.
