Domaine Montclar is a group of five newly restored houses at the top of a hilltop village and near to the church. Montclar is a secluded medieval village just 11 miles from the spectacular fortified city of Carcassonne in the Languedoc Roussillon, with panoramic views over winegrowing valleys and mountains.

On-site there is a modern shared swimming pool set in a tranquil garden (with secure storage for bicycles). Each house has its own patio area, fully equipped with BBQ and garden furniture. Every house also has a washing machine, dishwasher, DVD player (you need to bring your DVD's!) and satellite TV. Although there are daily deliveries of bread, meat and vegetables, the surrounding villages and markets sell a wide selection of delicious local foods and drinks including the local "Blanquette".

The stunningly beautiful countryside around Montclar is ideal for walking, whether just a stroll or more serious hiking and cycling. Nearby you can play golf and tennis, go canoeing or whitewater rafting, or indulge in gastronomic pleasures. There are numerous cellars to visit and as Montclar is on the wineroute, sample the local wines or visit the hot springs at Alet which date from Roman times. The area is rich in Cathar history and the spectacular fortified city of Carcassonnne should not be missed. Within an hour's drive you can go skiing or snowboarding in the Pyrenees and reach the Mediterranean beaches.
