Situated between the mountains of the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean coast, there is much to see - abbeys, old churches, castles, pretty villages and fortified towns or imposing cities like Toulouse, Perpignan, Narbonne - museums like those of Toulouse-Lautrec and Salvador Dali, cave-paintings like those of Niaux - or festivals and pageants like those of Carcassonne and Mirepoix and more. You will drive on fine autoroutes and quiet back-roads where driving a car is still a pleasure. But you may want to spend most of your time just floating in the pool, browsing in the sun or dining outdoors in the shade or you can explore without leaving the estate of Roubichoux ! The owners, who live nearby, will gladly give you a guided tour of the grounds, including the ruined castle, the restored chapel and the vineyard, as well as advising you what to see in the region and where to find the best wines. Equally you are welcome to roam around and find things out yourself.
