Les Eaux Tranquilles, Belvianes et Cavirac. Holiday Rentals

Description for B&B:

Les Eaux Tranquilles is located in the beautiful Gorge la Pierre-Lys, which has recently been designated as an area of outstanding beauty. Situated at an elevation of 320 meters above sea level, we are on the outskirts of the charming village of Belvianes et Cavirac, just 200 meters below the winter snow line. Our location makes us the perfect choice for both summer and winter vacations. Additionally, we are conveniently positioned between the cities of Carcassonne and Perpignan, with a 40 and 50-minute drive respectively to their airports, which offer flights to the UK, Belgium, and Ireland.

Our aim is to create a welcoming and relaxing environment where guests can escape the stresses of everyday life. Our private park, bordered by the tranquil river Aude, provides a sanctuary where guests can unwind on our terrace or by the riverside, enjoying a bottle of wine while listening to the soothing sounds of the river.

During the summer months, we often host barbeques on our terrace, allowing our friends and guests to mingle and soak up the delightful ambiance of the Pyrenees mountains.

Just 4 kilometers north of us is the town of Quillan, easily accessible via the D117 road. Quillan offers a variety of restaurants, bars, shops, banks, a railway station with links to Carcassonne and beyond, a coach station with links to Carcassonne and Perpignan, a tourist office open all year round, and a main post office. The town also hosts outdoor concerts in its squares during the summer and welcomes an international folk festival for two weeks in July. Belvianes also enjoys its own three-day fete with live music and entertainment.

The surrounding area is rich in vineyards and caves where visitors can sample and purchase local wines. A short drive away is the town of Limoux, renowned for its production of Blanquette, the first sparkling wine in France predating champagne.

The ancient Cité of Carcassonne, famous for its spires that inspired Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty, is only a 50-minute drive away. In July, the Cité hosts a magnificent fireworks display that attracts visitors from all over the world.

Our grounds encompass a large private park of 0.75 hectares (2 acres) bordered by the river Aude. The river, known for its abundance of trout and salmon, has even been visited by Robert Redford, who stayed nearby and was inspired by its beauty to turn a book about it into a world-famous film, "A River Runs Through It." Additionally, every other year, the Tour de France passes at the top of our road.

Just a short three-minute walk from us is our local Auberge, where reasonably priced meals are offered, and outdoor seating is available during the summer. It's a perfect spot to relax, dine, and watch the Tour de France.

There are several picturesque lakes nearby where guests can swim or have a picnic. As we are located in the South of France, it only takes an easy hour and a half drive to reach the stunning Mediterranean beaches, which are known for their long sandy shores and the absence of high-rise hotels commonly found in Spanish resorts. Guests can also explore the coast road to Spain and visit charming French fishing villages nestled in small bays. They can even bring back fresh fish to cook on our barbeque, enjoying it with an excellent bottle of Languedoc Roussillon wine in the evening.

We truly believe in providing the highest level of customer service, ensuring that every guest has an enjoyable stay with us, whether for one night or two weeks. Don't just take our word for it, take a look at the comments from our previous guests to see what they have to say.

We welcome guests from all nationalities and offer secure parking in our grounds, as well as a secure garage for touring motorcycles and cyclists, who are always welcome.
