We are based at a picturesque farm-house gîte in the hills near the village of Montréal d’Aude, about 10 miles from Carcassonne, where you can unwind, think and create in a relaxed atmosphere away from the stresses of modern life. It is a tranquil haven in the rolling countryside overlooking the Pays Cathare and the Pyrenees mountains, offering both excellent accommodation and table d’hôte breakfasts in a farm environment.

Attractive traditional French accommodation is provided incorporating spacious and comfortable lodgings as available upon arrival, either a double room with private facilities or self-contained chalet with all mod cons and private facilities. Students also have full use of lounge/common room with TV, and garden/grounds if required.

Our standard package provides daily breakfast only, ie, we do not provide lunches or evening meals. Students/guests are expected to make their own arrangements for these via local restaurants, shops, etc, (a boulangerie, corner shop and supermarket, as well as a local bar and restaurants are situated in the village 3-4kms away).
