La Rocaille is situated close to Canal-du-Midi (a World Heritage Site) which provides numerous opportunities for walking, cycling and boat trips. Also nearby is Lac-de-Jourres with its facilities for water sports, picnics & swimming. Beautiful Mediterranean beaches are a 50 minutes drive away (Gruissan plage and Narbonne plage are the closest).

The gite sits in a beautiful and peaceful rural location which has minimal light pollution, thereby allowing for night sky viewing from our terrace and garden. Star clusters, shooting stars and the moon can be seen on clear nights.

The Gorge-de-la-Cesse is within walking distance of La Rocaille and offers plenty of opportunities for walking or cycling, with beautiful views all around. Carcassonne, Beziers and Narbonne are all within easy reach as is the medieval village of Minerve. Minerve is often cited as one of the most beautiful villages in France and can be reached by a 15-20 minute drive alongside the Gorge-de-la-Cesse. Several of the Cathar Castles are also within an easy drive from the gite.
