Due to its large windows on each side, it is very light and airy. Its floor is originally terra-cotta paved. The decoration is held in friendly green and yellow, the whole furniture and equipment is new.

The kitchen is decorated by a big stone arch which was actually the window opening onto the lane in the Middle Ages. It is fitted with electric cooking plates, a microwave oven with grill function, a fridge, a hob, a sink and a coffe-machine as well as with cupboards with the necessary cooking utensils, pots, pans and cutlery.

The bedroom is separated from the kitchen by a curtain. Here you find a convertible bed couch, a table and chair, a stereo with CD player and a big built-in wooden wardrobe with drawers and plenty of hanging and storage space. From there, you enter the separate bathroom with shower, washbasin and toilet.

Narbonne is in the Aude départment known for its rich history and Romanesque abbeys and cloisters. The Fontfroide abbey (Cistercian) and that of Lagrasse (Benedictine) are some of the best preserved examples nearby.

Amphoralis in Sallèles d'Aude is a worth seeing unique Gallo-Roman potters' museum with original clay production installations.

The World Heritage City of Carcassonne with its 39 towers spread along the ramparts greatly restored by Viollet-le-Duc is only one hour drive.

Nature lovers will appreciate botanical walks amidst the rich flora of the Massif de la Clape or day tours to Bages and Peyriac-de-mer, traditional fishing villages (eel specialities). The old village of Gruissan with the Saint-Martin island museum (salt production) and the ornithologic observation site are also of great interest.

Narbonne is also a good base for exploring the Corbières. The impressive ruined Cathar castles like Peyrepertuse and Quéribus perched on rocky peaks are doubtless worth a visit.

Last but not least...wine tasting in the Corbières with its great diversity of terroirs, grape varieties and methods of vinification is a must for connoisseurs.
