Villa Les Barthes is set in the beautiful Cathar Country and provides an excellent base for a fantastic holiday experience. The property is set in a quiet residential area of the village of Lavalette, just a 10 minute walk to the village centre. The village itself has all key amenities for daily living with a butchers, newsagents, post office, general store / greengrocers and hairdresser / beautician. Several outlets sell fresh bread and croissants etc. A takeaway pizza restaurant is also available in the village centre during the summer and is well worth a visit.

It is ideally located for a mix of village living with all amenities close at hand, yet in a quiet and tranquil area within the Malpere wine growing region, from which to explore everything that the region has to offer.

It is only 10km from the main Carcassonne (Salvaza) airport yet only 15 minutes from the historic city of Carcassonne, with the two World Heritage Sites of La Cité and the Canal du Midi. Major supermarkets of Geant and L'Eclerc are within a 10 minute drive and close by the airport for stocking up en route to the villa. In the past few years, a retail park has opened near to the airport providing some interesting stores alongside the usual fast food outlets...not exactly what you go to France for but can come in handy during transit!

The ancient Bastide area of the Cité provides a range of cultural facilities and an excellent market, particularly on Saturday mornings. The beaches of the Mediterranean are only 45 minutes by car whilst access to the Lac du la Cavayere area takes about 20 minutes where a range of water sports, crazy golf, volley ball courts, swimming and rambling through the vast tree lined paths can be enjoyed.
