Welcome to the Cathar Lands
“Autour d’une toile” welcomes you to a village house in the Haute Vallée de l’Aude, surrounded by greenery, in a peaceful setting crossed by its river, the Faby.
During your escapades, you won’t be at the end of your surprises with the mysteries that revolve around the famous “Pech” of Bugarach, the domain of Rennes-le-château, the intriguing story of Abbé Saunière, the castles of Cathar country and many other mystical places.
Discover the beaches of the Puivert and Montbel lakes in summer, or the hot springs of Rennes-les-bains, as well as the famous, picturesque Espéraza market. There’s nothing to miss during your stay.
And let’s not forget the multitude of walks in the surrounding area, some of which start at the foot of the village.
