Further details for this vacation barn rental in Ariege, France

'THE HIDDEN JEWEL OF THE ARIEGE.: Our newly renovated barn 'Le Tournesol' is situated a short drive from Mirepoix and provides a comfortable base from which to explore this exquisite part of France. Mirepoix has at its centre a medieval square surrounded by 13th century timbered houses supported on impressive oaken arcades, which provide wide,shady walkways around the square which is an ideal spot for watching the world go by from one of its several cafes. Each Monday morning there is a typical French market held in the square and is an experience not to be missed.Pamiers also has much to offer, both as a busy market town and an excellent place to shop and also has interesting historical links to the Cathars.

ACTIVITIES IN THE AREA: There is lots to do and see both locally and a little further afield. Mirepoix has a swimming pool, tennis courts and there are riding stables in the locality. Montbel is a lake a few miles away where you can enjoy swimming, canoeing or windsurfing. There is a golf course at Carcassone approx. 45 mins away and the ski station at Mont D'Olms is 1 hour away offering a wide variety of runs. Further afield on the road to Andorra are several ski stations to accommodate all levels of skier. The area also caters for children with theme parks and animal sanctuaries, whilst cycling and walking reveal the lushness and drama of this beautiful part of Southern France.

HISTORY: The area abounds in history and there are several Cathar chateaux which demand a visit, not least the wonder of Montsegur, a famous Cathar stronghold, and Perypertuse and Queribus are approx 1 hour away towards Perpignan. This part of Southern France is famous for its prehistoric sites and there are several of these within an easy drive, particularly in the area surrounding Foix which also boasts an impressive chateau. There are subterranean caves which offer boat trips and grottoes which provide an interesting day out. The ancient cathedral in Mirepoix is well worth a visit and the church at Vals is an absolute must as is also the old Cite at Carcassone which is where 'Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves' was filmed.

Other Activities: Tour de France route is just 15 mins drive
