Description
The cottage "La Garrigue" is situated on a huge estate stretching across more than 17,000 sqm and is therefor very suitable to allow children to behave freely - though open fire is strictly forbidden. Scattered across the landscape are some neighbouring houses, sufficiently far off to experience real silence and tranquillity. After all, the next house is about 80 m and the country road approximately 500 m away. Built in the late 1970s, it isn't very young anymore but it is nevertheless equipped with modern building services (heating, air conditioning, washing machine and refrigeration). There are 2 bedrooms, one with its own sink and each equipped with a double bed and separate mattresses. In the living room there is a convertible sofa, suitable to accommodate 2 further persons. All necessary kitchenware and household aids and appliances are available, as well as spices and cleansers.

Location and surroundings of object
From the village Siran a narrow winding road (D 56) leads to the "Curiosité de l'Auriole". After 5,5 km, just behind the Curiosité, an unpaved path turns into the scrubland called garrigue, the typical vegetation of the Languedoc. Here the cottage "La Garrigue" is waiting for you with a stunning view of the Minervois and the Corbières, down to the Pyrenees.
Siran, a picturesque wine village with 700 inhabitants is situated at the foot of the Montagne Noire. Apart from a bakery, a grocery store and a post office, you can find here 3 restaurants. 5 km away, there is a big lake, where swimming and windsurfing are possible. It's the same distance to the supermarkets. The surroundings are known as the Land of the Cathares with its splendid monuments as Quéribus, Peyrepertuse and many others more. It is not far to the Pyrenees and to Spain, Barcelona is reached in a 3 hours ride. Trips to Minerve (after which the Minervois is named, 10 km) and to the world cultural heritage sites Canal du Midi (15 km) and the Cité of Carcassonne (35 km) are considered as a must.

A wonderful place to seek and find peace and relaxation
We spent 4 wonderful weeks in this house with 3 senior citizens. The house is very quietly situated on a huge property in the middle of the "Domaine Garrigue". The equipment of the house
was good and nothing was missing. The friendly and sympathetic owner was always available by phone and helpful with any questions. Apart from small excursions into the extraordinary landscape and mountains of the surrounding area, we mainly relaxed as it was very hot
In the evenings, on the terrace, we could experience thunderstorms with wonderful weather lightning. We, as seniors, had a very good time there and would, if we stay healthy and fit, visit "La Garrigue" again
visit "La Garrigue" again.

Natur pur
Wir haben 3 wunderschöne Wochen in La Garrigue verbracht. Das Haus liegt, wie beschrieben, mitten in der Natur. Ideal für Leute, die Ruhe suchen und einfach mal abschalten wollen.
Der schöne Ausblick ins Tal und der Pool versüßen den Urlaub. Im Haus ist alles vorhanden. Bei Fragen steht der Gastgeber jederzeit zur Verfügung.
Sehr interessant war für uns, das Verhalten der vielfältigen Insekten zu beobachten. Seine Einkäufe sollte man allerdings gut planen, da die Geschäfte nicht mal eben um die Ecke sind.
Es war ein wunderschöner Urlaub.

Situated with a view of the Pyrenees at an altitude of the Minervois.
With a view of the Pyrenees at an altitude of Minervois
This house impresses with a good description of the approach and the furnishings. After 40 years of holiday home experience mostly in France, we can say that this house is worth a trip. The equipment of the household works very well.
We booked again immediately
If you have any questions, Mr Schneider will be happy to answer them
The house is a good base for excursions to the cultural cities of the Cathars. I recommend the book "Land of the Cathars" by MSM-editions.fr
- Although the nearest bakery is 5 km away in the valley, it is worth going there. It has an organic concept and very good croissants. Still real artisan tradition and quality without baking mix. In addition, there are good value restaurants nearby and on the de Midi.
The winegrowers in the area are to be recommended ( Siran, Oupia, Liviniere).
But there are also very well-stocked supermarkets and the associated petrol stations
If possible, fill up as soon as you get there!!!
You shouldn't miss the Dolmen des Fades: a gallery tomb dating from about 3500 years before Christ in the middle of the vineyards near Siran.
And if you want to refresh yourself from the hot weather, there is a cute pool with a view of the mountains. The house can be kept cool even in the hottest weather if you close the shutters in time.
We are happy to recommend this house.

Sensational panorama, tranquility and many possibilities
We spent 2 relaxing weeks on vacation in La Garrigue with a couple of friends from Berlin. If anything was missing, we found it in the house. The view is unique, the pool refreshing, and there are many opportunities to experience nature in the surroundings. The many cuckoo calls are part of the house.
Our highlight was Minerve with the Canons of Cesse and Brian. The boulangerie in the alleys of Siran makes buying baguette and croissant an experience.
The use of the telephone and internet upon request is comfortable. The tips for using everything are good and helpful, so you can get along well without the presence of the landlord. And if there is still a question left: a call is enough.
So: Recommendation!!!

Wunderbares Ferienhaus in wunderbarer Lage
Eine Bemerkung vorweg:
Ich beurteile das Ferienhaus gemessen an den ganz subjektiven Erwartungen, die die Beschreibung im Internet bei mir geweckt hat. Und da diese Erwartungen komplett erfüllt oder übertroffen wurden, gebe ich die volle Punktzahl.
Mit meiner Familie mache ich seit vielen Jahren in Ferienhäusern und -wohnungen Urlaub, und hier habe ich mir zum ersten Mal keine Liste von Dingen gemacht, die ich beim nächsten Mal von daheim mitbringen müsste, weil sie im Haus nicht vorhanden waren. Hier hat nichts gefehlt. Alles war da.
Der Besitzer war bei Fragen gut erreichbar und außerdem sehr nett und hilfsbereit.
Das Haus liegt, wie beschrieben, sehr ruhig, man hat einen herrlichen Blick aufs Tal. Die Terrasse lädt zum Essen im Freien ein und der Pool zum Reinhüpfen.
Die Baguette zum Frühstück kann man im Dorf (etwa 6km entfernt) holen, Selbstverpfleger finden Gemüse, Obst, Käse und Wein auf den Märkten der Umgebung, im Supermarkt in Olonzac (12km) oder in den in Frankreich so beliebten Hypermarchés.
Wir haben die vierzehn Tage vorwiegend lesend und plaudernd verbracht, die Gegend eignet sich aber auch sehr für Radtouren, Spaziergänge oder Wanderungen. Zum nächsten Strand fährt man eine gute Stunde. Carcassonne, Béziers, Nîmes bieten sich für Besichtigungen oder Museumsbesuche an und Sète ist immer einen Besuch wert.

Traumhaft schöne Lage
Dieses Domizil war ideal zum Relaxen und bot unseren Kindern vielfältige Freitzeitmöglichkeiten. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und werden sicherlich noch einmal dort hin reisen.

Pure relaxation!
A beautiful landscape, perfectly suitable for all activities. The house leaves nothing to be desired. No neighbors in the immediate vicinity, pure tranquility.
The contact with the landlord went smoothly - he is also very helpful.
It was a great vacation and our passion - motorcycle riding - had no limits in this wonderful area.
