Sleeps 8 | MAP

Maison Pujol stands on the mountainside at 640 m altitude looking south in one of the most beautiful valleys of the Ariege and has outstanding views of the Pyrenees. The property extends for 3 hectares (7 acres) across the mountainside. The Maison Pujol is a traditional mountain house located a few minutes walk from the owners' house, in which they also offer bed and breakfast accommodations, with a swimming pool and tennis court in between them. From the house you can see the Chateau de Montsegur and from the gardens you can see the Chateau de Roquefixade which is in the next village. There are many small villages to explore and all around are magnificent views. The valley is one of the sunniest in the Ariege.

Leychert itself is a small village with no shops but facilities nearby are excellent with the nearest large supermarket a 15 minute drive away and small shops in a local village 10 minutes away. Lavelanet is 11 km distant and Foix 12 km. There is a wide selection of restaurants, bars and cafes around at varying prices from the simple pizza to fine dining.

Le Sentier Cathar, the famous pathway of the Cathars, winds its way up the mountain behind the house. This pathway starts in Foix and leads to Narbonne, 250 km of beautiful walking trails. Many walks can be taken directly from the house and the views over the valley are magnificent.
