A wonderful holiday home
We had such a lovely time on our week's holiday and the excellent gite was an important part of the experience.
Martine and Christophe, in whose large grounds the gite is situated, were fantastic hosts, very friendly, helpful, responsive, and between our little bit of French and their little bit of English, we were able to communicate pretty well. We felt very welcome and very well looked-after.
The gite is cosy and has everything needed for a relaxing and comfortable stay. Beds are comfy, the kitchen is well-equipped, the Italian shower is great, and the effective air-conditioning means the gite is a cool haven on very hot days. The pool is amazing, very well maintained and has amazing views. Guests have exclusive use of the pool between 10 and 6 and, between visits to other places, we tried to make good use of it.
The local area is also lovely: the gite is just outside a sleepy village and within a short drive of Narbonne. We fell in love with Narbonne during our stay. It is very French, authentic and non-touristy and such a pretty, friendly town. There are many excellent restaurants, especially on either side of the canal. We ate extremely well and prices were very affordable - similar if not a little less than in the UK. Hiring an electric boat to explore the canal for a few hours was also a great decision. We visited several lovely local beaches and particularly liked Narbonne Plage, where you can rent very comfy sun loungers with parasols at reasonable prices. We had an exciting kayaking trip on the Orb, described as a very 'playful' river - it was certainly livelier than the Dordogne of a previous kayaking trip! Be prepared to get wet but it was a great experience.
Altogether a wonderful holiday home in a excellent location, which we definitely plan to return to.
