  The Thouzery family offers bed and breakfast and table d'hôte on their organic farm, located at 860 m elevation at the end of a small winding road and surrounded by woods and meadows. Le Paquetayre enjoys an impressive view of the famous Cathar fortress of Montségur atop its lonely "pog".
Children will delight in the farm animals: 100 sheep, 2 horses and a donkey. If you wish you can participate in the work on the farm, in summer visit the flock on the high summer pastures, learn about medicinal plants which Michèle and Michel both cultivate and gather in the wild and which they transform on site, or help make bread which they bake in the old wood-fired bread oven in the house.
Le Paquetayre is located 2 km from Montferrier, 8 km from Montségur, 15 km from the ski station at Monts d'Olmes and 25 km from the Montbel Lake. It is also near the Chemin des Bonhommes and the Sentier Cathar, walking circuits linking many Cathar sites. |
The meals are prepared using organic produced from the farm and are served around a long wooden table in the spacious dining room, warmed by a wood fire and the bread oven. Specialities include lamb tajine, "aligot" (made from potatos, cheese and garlic), whole grain fritters, spiced vegetable soup, blueberry crumble,...).

| WARNING : Le Paquetayre is a mountain farm and our gîtes and B&B will please those who love nature and authenticity. But it is a place full of life where you may encounter spiders, mice, dormice, flies and other insects banished by our so-called developed society. And when it rains, as on all farms there is mud. So we don't recommend this place for anyone obsessed with perfect hygiene, luxurious comfort or complete security. We welcome anyone who has remained young at heart and loves life. |
