  The terrace in front of the house is ideal for the winter months as it benefits from full sun, being south/east facing. The terrace by the pool is perfect for summer al fresco meals.  Step through the old front door into the hallway, which has retained its original diamond pattern inlaid floor, with a large star motif at its centre. Doors lead off the hall to three bedrooms and the stairs at the end lead to the second floor.     The salon On the second floor is the heart of the house: the large and spacious salon and the kitchen. The salon is stylishly furnished with sofas and easy chairs, arranged around the wood burning fire place with marble surround. The dining table in the dining area of the salon seats eight, and an antique 18th century French "armoire" holds all the glassware. From the salon stairs lead to a mezzanine, which has a day bed for relaxing, and a desk (and telephone point) for those who need to work. A stereo system with CD, cassette and radio and a Television and DVD player provide entertainment. ADSL (broadband) internet access with WiFi capabilities available.  Kitchen The kitchen is fully equipped with dishwasher, microwave oven, electric stove and oven, larder fridge, coffee maker, kettle and toaster. The pale wood units are topped by a pink granite work surface, which harmonises beautifully with the original patterned tile floor.    click on the pictures for a larger view A few paces from the terrace in front of the house and across a lawn is the swimming pool and the old "pigeonnier", which now houses the summer kitchen and the pool operating room. The swimming pool is 18mts long, 3.5mts wide and 1.4mts deep, making it ideal for those who wish to swim lengths as well as just splashing about. Set against the rocks by the side of the pool is a shower with a mosaic base and thermostatically controlled hot & cold water. A WC and wash hand basin is located in the pool operating room.     The terrace in front of the "pigeonnier" overlooks the pool and is ideal for dining in the evening. The kitchen in the "pigeonnier" is fully fitted and equipped with gas cooker, electric oven, microwave oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, electric coffee maker, kettle and toaster.

 Bedroom 4 and bathroom 3 More about Aigne The village of Aigne centres around the old mediaeval nucleus, also called the "circulade" because of it's circular shape. It has become a magnet for artists, and is now home to painters and sculptors, who regularly open their studios and galleries to the public. The village is also home to Lo Cagarol, an excellent restaurant in the village square. A small grocery store and post office provide daily essential within the village, and a number of wineries in the village allow you to sample and buy the local Minervois wines. The municipal tennis court is just across the road from La Maison du Beaupré. Aigne is located close to Minerve, the former Cathar stronghold, which is spectacularly situated on an rocky outcrop between the Cesse and Brian rivers. More restaurants and shops can be found in nearby Olonzac, where a weekly market is held on Tuesdays. Narbonne and Beziers are both a half hours drive away, and the sandy beaches of the Mediterranean are only a little further. Access International airports are located at Carcassonne (53km), Perpignan (90km), Montpellier (113km), Nimes (164km), Toulouse (137km) and Barcelona (290km). |
