Great Place to stay and enjoy the windy and quiet Place. The streets to get to the house are narrow if you follow the short route in heaps… but after once all was easier :)

We had a lovely stay in this house in Capendu, enjoyed the friendly neighbours and locals - we even met the mayor! A great location to a whole host of activities and interesting places.

We had a great time in Le Bijou! The living-room is spacious and light, with a comfy couch and a big round table. The kitchen is very well-equipped. The bedding in the master bedroom is good with a firm mattress. It's really convenient having 2 toilets, one upstairs in the bathroom and one downstairs too. The street is quiet and kids can play there safely. We had a busy time in the area: We visited the medieval city of Lagrasse, went for walks and a mini-cruise along the Canal du Midi, took a little hike up to the 4 cathare Castles of Lastours, admired the 'Gouffre de Cabrespine', spent 4 hours in the Fontfroide Abbey and its garden, drove to Gruissan on the shore of the Mediterranean See and went on a guided tour of Carcassonne. We also had several meals in local restaurants, of course! We definitely had a great time in Capendu! Thanks, Fiona for your flat and your availability :)
