Accommodation |
||
| The farmhouse is situated on a small working arable estate in a picturesque setting, south facing, right on the banks of the famously picturesque Canal du Midi, which dates from 1667 and has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996. The holiday cottage is adjoined on one side to a working barn and a larger farmhouse on the other side, where the owners live. The gite and main farmhouse directly overlook the working farmyard and the Canal du Midi and we are almost next door to the beautiful Chateau of the Domaine with its fabulous historic 12th century tower. A few friendly families live on this small estate and depending on the time of year you’ll also find some seasonal workers resident on the farm. During the summer months the domaine is a little livelier when the farmer harvests the fruits and of course during the month of September we have the wine harvest or ‘vendange’. This means that there can be some farmyard traffic but there are no animal smells or noises to contend with (except for the birds, occasional dog bark or horse whinny). However, this makes Millepetit an ideal opportunity to sample rural life in the Languedoc-Roussillon at first hand, though the ‘bright lights’ of Trebes, our local canal port, are only a 3km walk away along the old tow path. Please note that this is not street lit, so don’t forget your torch for that late night stroll home. | ||
