In a pretty little village in the heart of the beautiful Corbières valley. The house is superb, the park is magnificent, the swimming pool among the trees is splendid... Everything is refinement!
The chatelaine surrounded by her children and grandchildren will welcome you in the best way. We sometimes feel like we are part of this big family.
Vineyards, scrubland, rivers, ruins of Cathar fortress, endless beech, chestnut and pine forests, and further on the see, the salt marshes of Gruissan ... 27 kilometers from Carcassonne, the Domaine de Montlaur lives in a wild and preserved landscape of legends behind the mountain of Alaric where the Alaric II king is said to be buried with the famous Jérusalem treasure.
An extraordinary country to discover along the Cathar paths and the Roman roads.
