2 Bedroom Gite in Carcassonne

Petites Ecuries offers three 4* luxury fully equipped, self-catered, independent gites that sleeps 4. Located in the middle of a French village. Marseillette is elevated and runs alongside the Canal du Midi and overlooks the Alaric Mountains. Only 20 minutes away from the historic medieval walled city of Carcassonne. 
 
The three gites are named after the horses that used to work the vineyards. While the horses have long gone the stables have been converted to two gites and the owner’s house. The property is on a UNESCO world heritage site and the stables (and chicken shed) have been developed. Come and see for yourself! 
 
We believe that holidays are important and we will do everything we can to make your holiday memorable. All gites are equipped with food essentials (it’s like going to your own home but in a different place) salt, pepper, coffee, wine, beer, dishwasher tablets etc.. Oh and yes a couple of meals in the freezer.  
 
We believe that even Mum deserves a holiday so ask about our prepared meal service. It’s not expensive and allows you to enjoy your day without having to spend time preparing the families food.
