General Info |
|
| |
L'Escapade is an ancient village house now completely restored to the highest standard. It is situated in a quiet backwater of the listed village of Lagrasse, and has stunning views of the Abbey and hills beyond, yet is only a few minutes from restaurants, cafe, village shops and bakery. It adjoins the main "place" with its 14th century Market Hall and mediaeval galleried houses plus the 12th Century bridge leading to the Abbey. Ideal for up to six people, it has three beautifully furnished double bedrooms (one with an en suite "wet room" bathroom) - there is also an exceptional family bathroom. The surrounding region is both beautiful and endlessly fascinating, featuring the ancient city of Carcassone alongside the natural features and wildlife through nearby Narbonne. |

Details on the area surrounding the property/accommodation |
|
| |
One gets the best of both worlds here - halfway between the World Heritage site of Carcassonne's City and the ancient Roman port of Narbonne, the gateway to vast sandy beaches and marinas for sailing enthusiasts and the famous "etangs" (land locked salt lakes)with flamingos and other delights for nature lovers. It’s an ideal holiday location for people interested in history, wildlife, gastronomy, sampling the local wines; or just relaxing in the sun on the terrace! |
