Bed and Breakfast



Are you planning a visit to Southwest France? Spring would be the perfect time.

If you decide to go, while driving from picturesque village to village you will often see long straight country roads lined with beautiful Plane trees like this. It is said that Napoleon planted them to shade his marching soldiers from the hot sun. Passing under the colorful Autumn canopy of leaves, with vineyards stretching as far as the eye can see, the peacefulness of a gentle countryside envelopes you...........and you realize that the journey IS the reward.

And if you do go there's another reason for showing you my family's lovely home in the village of Caunes-Minervois near Carcassonne.
You've left the nicest comments about the beautiful garden with inviting pool. You know the food is scrumptious. Sleeping soundly behind the heavy blue wood shutters, in a comfy bed, is the perfect night's rest after a busy day of sightseeing, market browsing, vineyard hiking, wine tasting.........and treasure hunting at the many brocantes and vide-grenier sales.



So, why don't you take a trip to the South of France and stay in this lovely place?

John and Alison will open their home to you for Bed & Breakfast and, if you want a wonderful dinner, they will prepare an evening meal you will never forget!
