Charming holiday flat in picturesque village of Cucugnan in the Corbiere Hills of the Languedoc region of France. Stunning scenery of mountains, vineyards, castles perched on rocky crags, yet within an hour's drive to Mediterranean beaches, Narbonne, Perpignan, and the Pyrenees. Here you may experience small French village life with 3 excellent restaurants, a historic bakery specializing in organic, artisan breads baked in a wood fired oven, and wines unique to this region. You can discover the lesser known (and less expensive) wines,derived from unusual grape varieties. The rich reds benefit from the long hot summers, and the sweet dessert wines are a local speciality; some are unobtainable elsewhere. Cucugnan is an excellent home base for hiking, cycling, (bikes for hire nearby); h... Charming holiday flat in picturesque village of Cucugnan in the Corbiere Hills of the Languedoc region of France.

Here you may experience small French village life with 3 excellent restaurants, a historic bakery specializing in organic, artisan breads baked in a wood fired oven, and wines unique to this region. You can discover the lesser known (and less expensive) wines,derived from unusual grape varieties. The rich reds benefit from the long hot summers, and the sweet dessert wines are a local speciality; some are unobtainable elsewhere. Cucugnan is an excellent home base for hiking, cycling, (bikes for hire nearby); horse riding, quad bike tours, wine tours (most villages feature wine growers offering free tastings), or exploring the medieval past. This is the region of the Cathar crusade, featured in Kate Moss's novel "Labyrinth", and the ruined castles on the surrounding hills lead the imagination directly back to the Middle Ages. Excursions may be made to Perpignan, Narbonne, Carcassonne, Barcelona (now one hour by train from Perpignan),or up into the Pyrenees. The beaches of the Mediterranean are about an hour away by car. Lovely, spacious one bedroom apartment in quaint village house with separate entry. Fully equipped large kitchen, sofa bed, spiral staircase to large bedroom with queen bed, large bathroom with tub, outside garden area with beautiful views. British owner is fluent in English and French and happy to advise on activities and the history of the area. French language courses an available option!

About the neighbourhood
Cucugnan is situated almost equidistant from Perpignan and Narboone, but inland, not on the coast.. Walking, swimming in the river pools, and exploring the area, especially the old castles, are the main activities. The food and wine are both excellent. A car is a necessity unless one simply wants to relax with a book, and go for walks. Cars may be hired from the various convenient airports, which are, in order of proximity, nearest first : Perpignan, Carcassonne, Béziers, Nimes, Montpellier, Toulouse, Girona, Barcelona.
