Welcome to the land of the Cathars, Templar knights with MUCH history, much peace, many beautiful nearby swimming spots in streams and rivers! Our guests feel very comfortable in the well-equipped, idyllic, cozy, very quietly located, historic natural stone house with plenty of views, and praise the good, comfortable beds.
The house on a slope has a very special charm with lots of atmosphere, and a view of the mountains - Mont Naudech.

Beate W. from München
Live like God in France
The holiday home is an old, very lovingly renovated and tastefully furnished natural stone house with a long history in wonderfully wild, quiet nature:
Hiking trails through old chestnut terraces and oak forests, streams, rivers, gorges, and many swimming opportunities, in the morning the eagle circles in the sky and if you are lucky, you might encounter a mouflon or a badger, nice mountain village with a small charming shop... To explore the area, it is advisable to rent an e-bike at the bike shop in the village of Mons . . . this is really fun and enjoyable here in the mountainous region with the small, narrow roads and alleys and the most beautiful viewpoints!
And then, of course, good food . . . in the numerous small, very fine, and sometimes quite hidden restaurants . . . enjoy the regional products (wine, olives . . .) and cook or grill in the very well-equipped holiday home . . . and enjoy the evening on the beautiful terrace with mountain views. . . everything you need for a relaxing vacation is here ;)

More than just a simple holiday cottage...
Simply wonderful and everything you could wish for. The holiday cottage is a dream, very lovingly designed, almost a bit like in a fairy tale. The path to it is quite steep, but everything is easily accessible directly from the house. One can relax wonderfully and enjoy the splendid landscape, but one can also experience adventure and action. Thanks to the nice contact with the landlord, we were very well prepared and had a lot of experiences. Unfortunately, we didn't do very well with the food in the area, but there were fresh ingredients from the market every day and a very well-equipped kitchen. You can wonderfully go on hiking tours directly from the house. It's also absolutely recommendable with children - if they’re not too little anymore - because you can find the most beautiful swimming spots everywhere. A canoe tour is also highly recommended. And there are plenty of herbs and animals to discover - we had geckos right on the terrace, badgers in front of the house, squirrels in the trees, a small wild boar in the forest, and loads of lizards and colorful insects. Every stone sparkles and everything smells wonderful with fresh herbs. We had a very nice holiday, the long journey was worth it. It is truly more than a "standard holiday home" - because you can feel that a lot of heart has gone into it. We will always happily remember this vacation.

Wonderful
Wonderful, well-kept, old house with a beautiful sense of space due to the very different room sizes. Nice bathroom with a generous shower. Due to its location on the hill, there was always a pleasant breeze. The windows can also be left open in the evening with the light on, as they all have practical fly screen blinds. The equipment is very good, you can tell that the owner comes here on vacation and wants to feel comfortable. The last 400 meters of the driveway may be intimidating at first, but then they are no longer a problem. Mons is also very nice with the small shop down in the village, in general the region around Mons is a dream. Fantastic hiking trail directly from the holiday apartment to the rear part of the gorge. We will be back!

«Mas Bijou» achieves a holiday rating of 5 (rating scale: 1 to 5) at 17 submitted reviews.
Wanderwege durch alte Maronenterrassen und Eichenwälder, Bäche, Flüße, Schluchten und viele Bademöglichkeiten, am Morgen kreist der Adler am Himmel und wenn man Glück hat, trifft man ein Mufflon oder einen Dachs, nettes Bergdorf mit kleinem charmanten Laden...
Um die Gegend zu erkunden empfiehlt es sich im Dorf Mons im Radlgeschäft ein E- Bike auszuleihen ... das macht hier in der bergigen Gegend mit den kleinen, engen Strassen und Gassen und schönsten Aussichtsplätzen richtig Laune und Spaß!
Und dann natürlich gut Essen .... in den zahlreichen kleinen sehr feinen und mit unter auch recht versteckten Lokalen... die regionalen Produkte genießen (Wein, Oliven...) und im sehr gut ausgestatten Ferienhaus selbst kochen, grillen ... und auf der schönen Terrasse mit Bergblick den Abend ausklingen lassen... alles da, was man für entspannte Ferien braucht ;)
Wir kommen wieder !
Das Haus ist geräumig und sehr gemütlich. Es war sehr sauber und der Empfang und die Übergabe von Frau B. sehr freundlich und informativ, mit vielen guten Tipps.
Der Kaminofen macht - wenn man es richtig macht - sehr schnell warm und sooo gemütlich. Man will dann nicht mehr weg.
Die Betten sind sehr komfortabel und neuwertig. Die Küche verfügt über alles was man so braucht. Und die Gegend ist einfach phantastisch - ob zu Fuß oder mit dem Auto, sehr kurze Wege. Wir genossen unsere Ausflüge und besonders, ganz besonders die gemütlichen Ruhetage mit den guten Weinen z.b. von St. Chinian und Faugeres, auf der warmen und sonnigen Terrasse. Wir kommen wieder! Versprochen!
Wir haben den Urlaub sehr genossen und fühlten uns ausgesprochen wohl dort. Auch die freundliche Übergabe und die vielen nützlichen Tipps möchten wir besonders hervorheben.
Gold- und Silberreiche Bilder vom Olymp des Sports *** erfrischende kühle *** und ein mit viel liebe eingerichtetes Haus und ein cooler Kühlschrank, von der großen Ameise ganz zu schweigen - ein toller Urlaub! Danke!
