Lovely home
We had a very pleasant week at Gîte de Francouly. Jérôme is a communicative and accommodating host. The home is well equipped and spotless. The pool was delightful and the rural location perfect for a relaxing holiday. Amenities are short drives away and there are plenty of places to explore. We particularly enjoyed Saissac.

Lovely house in a picturesque location. Nice, quiet and rural. The house is charming, very spacious and well appointed. Plenty of grounds outside to run and play around in. The pool is to the side of the house and is fully fenced and gated for security. The shallow end is quite deep, our 6 year old couldn't touch the floor; but apart from that it was nice and warm and perfectly clear. With some lovely shady trees to the higher terrace above the pool, to escape the hot afternoon sun under. Jerome and Genevieve were very friendly, attentive and helpful which helped make our stay excellent. Saint Papoul is a lovely little village and the Abbey is well worth a visit. Lots to do in the local area excepting Carcassonne: Castelnaudery, Chateau du Saissac is just down the road, Canal du Midi, Bram, Mirepoix, Fanjeaux, Gouffre de Cabrespine, moulin a papier at Brousses - make your own paper, Chateau de Pennautier (great kids play area under the trees by the carpark), or just into the Montagne Noir. Or further afield to Narbonne and its beaches. Overall highly recommended

Très belle propriété et hôtes très réactifs
Très beau séjour dans une belle propriété au calme , les hôtes sont charmants, très réactifs, discrets et attentifs aux besoins des vacanciers. Lieu adapté pour des vacances en famille et entre amis. Maison assez isolée (15min Castelnaudary), boulangerie et épicerie de base dans Saint-Papoul. Merci aux propriétaires pour leur accueil!

Nature et tranquillité
La maison est très grande avec des plafonds très hauts. On s’y sent bien. La piscine est de taille très correcte pour enchaîner les longueurs. Le calme nous a accompagné tout au long de notre séjour. Les propriétaires ont fait preuve d’une discrétion extrême.

Agréables vacances estivales en famille !
Un accueil très agréable par les propriétaires y compris des petites attentions à base de spécialités locales. Le gîte est spacieux, bien équipé, confortable tant au niveau de la literie que des assises. Tout est là pour s’amuser en famille dont la grande piscine avec plusieurs hauteurs dans le bassin ce qui est sympa pour jouer, agréable aussi pour nager, pour se prélasser sur les transats et jeux aquatiques! De nombreux jeux de sociétés sont également à notre disposition. Les propriétaires nous ont recommandé quelques bonnes adresses gourmandes :-) Un séjour sans fausses notes ! Encore merci.

Geschmackvolles und toll ausgestattetes Haus
Wir haben hier zwei sehr schöne Wochen mit unseren beiden Kindern verbracht. Das Haus ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und mit allem Komfort ausgestattet. Man findet alles vor, was man braucht, um sich wohl zu fühlen. Der Pool ist sehr gross und sauber und es stehen genügend Liegen, ein Sonnenschirm und ein paar Schattenplätze zur Verfügung. Es gibt sogar ein Poolhaus, in dem man einige Luftmatratzen etc. findet sowie eine Dusche und Toilette. Die Terrasse mit überdachtem Essplatz ist ok, allerdings blickt man auf einen großen Bauschuppen mit Plane und es gibt keinen angelegten Garten. Das wäre vielleicht das einzige Manko, was uns aber nicht gestört hat. Die Eigentümer leben direkt nebenan, allerdings haben wir sie fast nie gesehen. Sie sind sehr nett und immer bemüht, dass man sich wohl fühlt. Schön war, dass man sie jederzeit kontaktieren kann, falls man Fragen hat oder Hilfe benötigt, aber ansonsten doch das Gefühl hat, alleine zu sein. Das Haus liegt recht abgelegen. Direkt in Saint Papoul gibt es einen tollen Bäcker und einen Tante Emma Laden, in dem man eigentlich (fast) alles bekommen kann. Ansonsten gibt es in Castelnaudary auch einen riesigen Supermarkt etc. Man kann von hier tolle Ausflüge unternehmen, muss allerdings immer etwas Fahrzeit einplanen. Also zusammengefasst eine sehr schöne Unterkunft. Wenn wir mal wieder in die Gegend kommen, werden wir hier wieder gerne wohnen.
