Our property is in the Pays d'Olmes, in the heart of the Cathar Pyrenees. This region is dominated by the ruins of the Cathar fortress of Montségur, high upon its "pog" which stands out from the hills and mountain peaks surrounding it (some of which reach 2000 m).

In these lush, unspoiled mountains you can enjoy walking, hiking, horseriding, mountainbiking and, in winter, showshoeing.

This area abounds with sites to visit for all tastes, for example:
- Cathar sites : Montségur, Roquefixade, Puivert
- Le Textile Museum in Lavelanet
- the last workshop still producing combs from cow horns is 3 kms away
- The fortified village of Camon
- The intermettente fountain of Fontestorbes in Bélesta
- The Gorges de Frau, the cascades at Roquefort, etc.
- The Foix castle 30 kms away, the "Forges de Pyrènes" museum
- Mirepoix, a magnificent medieval bastide town
- Vibrant, colorful markets in historic towns

Children will delight in the Butterfly conservatory and the Bison farm.

In the winter the ski station of les Monts d'Olmes is about 20 kms away, with the possibility of using the shuttle service that leaves from Lavelanet.
