Le Caussigne is only a few minutes away from the local towns of Chalabre and Puivert (boulangeries, cafés, restaurants)where one can while away the hours by the lakes of Monbel(windsurfing, canoeing, pedalos) or Puivert (ideal for young children). The towns of Limoux and Mirepoix with their wonderful markets are close by as are the cathar castles of Montsegur and Puivert. All the Cathar castles including Carcassonne - a World Heritage Site - are within easy reach of the house. Being on the borders of the Aude and Ariege the caves of Niaux(cave paintings),Mas d'Azil(inhabited for 1000's of years) and castles of Foix and Roquefixade are nearby. Follow the trail of the Holy Grail at Rennes le Chateau or visit the Canal du Midi. If you come in the winter there is skiing at the Mont d'Olmes and Ax les Thermes and cross country skiing on the Plateau de Sault although Easter skiing is unreliable as it is usually too warm by then. At the end of the day just relax around the pool!
