Home away from home! Charming house close to Carcassonne

Welcome to Le Bijou De Capendu, a true gem in the South of France! This completely renovated home, with modern furnishings, is situated at the very heart of Capendu, a village circulade at the foot of Mount Alaric. With magnificent views over the vineyards and conveniently located to all the tourist attractions, our home is a perfect vacation spot for 2-5 guests. Positioned next to 10th century ruins and belltower, the village offers all of the basic amenities, including a community pool and epicerie, boulangerie, and the nearby town of Trebes has additional restaurants, supermarkets and shops to explore.

With a bright and comfortable living/dining area with TV and wifi, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and WC, sleeping 4-5, Le Bijou has all the amenities you need to make your holiday comfortable. Capendu is conveniently located 15 minutes from Carcassonne and it's airport (budget flights from the UK and other European cities) and train station (with trains to Barcelona and Paris). The international airport of Toulouse is 70 minutes drive away. The beautiful city of Narbonne and the Mediterranean is 30 minutes away, and the spectacular Cathar sites and wine region of the Languedoc Roussillon region are all within a short drive.

For outdoor enthusiasts, the Canal du Midi and the Aude River are a short 2km walk away, and mountain biking and hiking trails are close by. Lac Jouarre, offering swimming, is within a short drive from Capendu.

Le Bijou is ideal for a family holiday or a romantic getaway!

Absolutely Charming
Delightful property conveniently located in a quiet village. The 5 of us loved our holiday here and returned very relaxed and refreshed. Very close to the lake - Carcassone's Beach which was absolutely fantastic. Would highly recommend...

Location atypique mais c'est ce qui fait son charme
location situé au point culminant du village de CAPENDU, tout en face de l'église actuel et ancienne typique des villages de l'Aude, difficile d'accès en voiture mais qui en fait son charme ! Bien située pour visiter la Région quoiqu'un peu loin de la mer. Un véritable lit ou un canapé lit digne de ce nom dans la pièce passante du haut serait une réelle plus-value ;-) ! Communication avec le gérant lointaine mais efficace.
