The Gite
Accommodation comprises a large open and light
sitting/dining room with French doors to both the garden and a private
terrace.
There is a well equipped kitchen with gas oven/hob, fridge/freezer,
dishwasher etc and three good size double bedrooms. The
décor is simple but attractive with traditional terracotta
tiling and white walls with original paintings by a local artist,
throughout.

|
There is a large dining table with chairs,
comfortable bed settee and several easy chairs – the emphasis
is on informal and comfortable living.
There is modern bathroom with separate shower cubicle (photo left).
There is also a woodburning stove for use in the winter and cooler
autumn evenings.
|
| |
|
Outside there is a private terrace with table and chairs, barbeque
and lovely views over the Verdouble valley, a beautiful spot to sit
in the evening with a glass of wine in your hand to watch the sun
going down behind the Pic de Bugarach.
In the garden is a swimming pool area with loungers, tables and
chairs. The pool is shared with the two other smaller gites. There
are also a trampoline, ping-pong table and bikes. There is ample
parking.

|
| |
|
The property is reached by a track that is approx
1 km long. In the grounds there are miles of tracks including one
to the hidden Pierrepergesse, a little known keep to Peyrepertuse.
It is possible to walk from the garden to Peyrepertuse but it is
quite a hard climb!

In the local villages (left, photo
of Duilhac) are potteries, artists’ studios, restaurants,
shops and wineries. Other things to do in the area include
visits to the many castles, vineyards, and abbeys.
Visits to the town of Lagrasse, the Dali museum just over
the border, in Spain, the spectacular Pyrenees, Ceret, the
sea, the list of places to visit is endless. You can also
walk the many signposted routes, do white water rafting, and
pony trekking and swim in the local rivers. |

The most famous attractions in the area are Carcassonne with its magnificent
walled medieval city dominating the countryside, a wonderful day out,
many shops and restaurants, but often open air concerts and opera,
son et lumiere and fireworks.
Perpignan, with its famous Castillet (photo below), is very close,
as are the many resorts, including St Cyprien and Argeles-sur-mer
with their long sandy beaches.

|
| |
|
The picturesque fishing port of Collioure
(photo below right) is a ‘must visit’ place. Here,
local Catalan style fishing boats tie up by the quay and you can
get excellent fish dishes served at the many pavement cafes and
restaurants.

La Redouniere is situated between the villages of Soulatge and Rouffiac
