Vacation Rental Description
The cottage is in the small friendly village of Montazels, just off the D118 between Limoux & Quillan. The south facing vine shaded terrace is ideal for taking in the fantasic views. Ideally placed for walking, cycling, fishing, canoeing, swimming and skiing, the local airports - Carcassonne, Perpignan, Toulouse and Gerona are all serviced by Easy Jet or Ryanair.

Being at the centre of the Cathar region, surrounded by hill top castles and the medieval city of Carcassonne just 40 minutes away, reminds you of the fascinating and often tragic history for which this region is renowned.

Just across the valley from the cottage is Rennes le Chateau, centre of a mystery still very much alive. The mystery is one of sudden wealth of a village priest, (Bérenger Saunière was born in Montazels in 1852), secret codes and a search for treasure in the latter part of the 19thC. This story and the surrounding area have been written about many times. The origin of the plot for the Dan Brown Book 'The Da Vinci Code' began right here. In her best selling historical novel 'Labyrinth', Kate Mosse uses Carcassonne and its fascinating history as a backdrop to the story, and in her latest novel, 'Sepulchre' the nearby village of Rennes-les-Baines features in the plot.

The local rivers, lakes and natural spas provide bathing opportunities plus the coast is just 90 minutes away. If skiing is your thing, the nearest resort at 40kms away is Camurac, with 15 slopes, two of which are green, 8 blues, 2 red and 3 black. With 7 ski lifts, 13 snow canons and 14 km of cross-country ski tracks. Buses leave twice a day from Quillan (11kms) during the season.
