We stayed in Le Vieux Relais for 4 nights at the beginning of September. This chambre d'hote perfectly combines original features and a real feeling of authenicity along with all the modern comfort one needs after a day of exploring medieval villages! The room was immaculate, extremely spacious and I loved the details like the wooden shutters and beams! The... more

After finding Le Vieux Relais on the web, Mike and Val were able to find space for us at pretty short notice and were ready with a welcome (even if we were a bit late arriving!).

We had a great stay in Pepieux. Lovely accommodation and very handy for the wine regions and canal du midi. We have stayed in Carcassonne before but this is far more my style, and nice and handy for everything. more
