The gite is part of an ancient water mill which has been artistically converted for the ideal location for your self catering holiday in the Pyrenees. Standing in 4 acres of meadows clothed with wild orchids in Spring, colourful butterflies and soaring buzzards, bordered by a tranquil stream fondly known as the babbling brook which is ideal for paddling on a hot summers day.

This charming region is full of history with its crumbling Cathar castles erupting from mountainous ridge tops, fabulous ancient cave painting’s still visible in certain caves today and the interactive museum for Prehistory at Tautavel.
