Escape to
My husband and I own a hotel and restaurant called Le Sainte Anne in
Sigean, which is situated in the heart of the Cathare country and about 45 mins from the Spanish border. This corner of France is still wild and still largely unclaimed by the ever thirsty tourist industry. Fives mins drive will take to the coast where you'll find huge streatches of golden sandy beaches. Step off the beach and into the sea, turn around and snow peaked tops of the Pyrenees mountains wink back at you. Five minutes walk from us will take you to the Etangs (lakes) where you'll be greeted by Flamingos and oyster beds. Perfectly located in the heart of the Cathare country 'La Cite' of Carcassonne is a mere 45 minutes from us and if you chose to take the route via the Corbierres it will take through some of most the breathtaking terraine France has to offer! A must see for fans of the Labyrinth by Kate Mosse, it's also perfect for walkers and cyclists looking for a challenge. We moved here about 18 months and it was the bravest thing I think I've ever done, I didn't even speak french when we first moved here! If you are looking for a change in lifestyle I would highly recommend it but it's no holiday! Choose your destination carefully, if you can afford to live there for 2 or 3 months before you buy, it also helps to have a general grasp of the language! Please do come and visit us, you can see more about us on our website at www.le-sainte-anne.com |
