About the host

Host profile image
Jean marc and Laurence, who have owned the pré des Jacques for 25 years, welcome your on their 3000 m2 property. Laurence is a choreographer but is also passionate about gardening and her botanical garden and vegetable garden are organic. She is searching for harmony with the help of her husband, who is master craftsman:
he is very resourceful when it comes to construction and built the buildings and the terraces by combining modern architecture and stones...
Both of them are culture enthusiasts and combine the richness of this land's heritage with their more contemporary ideas.
They will give you great ideas to discover the land away from the usual tourist areas.

Why they chose this property

Around 1980, they decided to settle down in Aude and to build their house as well as to express their jobs...They have three children and it was love at first sight with the valley.After raising their children, they decided to build an independent rental building to share with people who, just like themselves come from somewhere else, the quality of life in this valley...Conviviality is the emblem of this house...

What makes this property unique

The property is very comfortable, terraces, swimming pool, garden...Everything is full of details and beauty...The property was built on the hillside, with a terraced arrangement, surrounded by low wall stones, facing south and shaded in summer...really relaxing and far from the noises, this place is perfect to recharge your batteries...
The villagers are very welcoming with the visitors who take part in the local festivals in summer and in the Christmas markets in winter...
