A charming gîte in town and close by.

Our comfortable cottage is set in a beautiful walled garden with private lockable access & adjacent street parking. Easy walking to local farmers' markets, restaurants, and delightful walks in the mountains. 10 min drive from a beautiful mountain lake for swimming and relaxing. Close to the railway station & 4 airports - Toulouse, Castres, Beziers & Carcassonne. Good access either by car or public transport to other cultural towns in Occitane for museums, galleries, tourist sites and shopping. The space The gîte is a two bed-roomed 19th century cottage that sleeps 4 people, has air-conditioning and has the 3 Star Award from the local Tourist Office. The bedrooms are next to each other, so you walk through the twin bedroom to get to the double bedroom, or use the French doors onto the garden (perfect for summer nights). The gîte has one large shower room, a large comfortable living room and a separate, well equipped kitchen. All rooms are south-east facing and have shuttered, double French doors leading onto a well maintained garden with lockable street access. The organic garden is very sunny, with shady areas for the high summer and is planted with fragrant plants and herbs. Various birds nest here each year and we have the delightful company of small, harmless lizards. Gîte Wistéria’s position in town is very unique – a 5 minute walk to Mazamet’s amenities and yet 5 minutes walk away from wonderful walks in the Montagne Noire National Park and the Passerelle (a pedestrian sky-bridge across to the ancient hill village of Hautpoul - an absolute 'must visit' if you're in the area). We are probably the nearest self-contained rental cottage to the Passerelle in Mazamet. Guest access Our guests have private access to the whole gite garden. It is not shared with anyone. They also have a lockable gate entrance from the street into the private gite garden. Although the gite is built on one level, there are 9 steps up to the street level from the garden with a hand-rail. Parking for cars, motorbikes or trail bike trailers is on the street or in nearby public car parks. You can bring your bicycles into the garden, but don't forget we have 9 steps from the garden to the street! Other things to note We are close to some of the southern routes of the Tour de France, so check out the dates if you're a cycling enthusiast! Gîte Wistéria is very close to many cultural and historic centres which are featured on our website. If you are interested in medieval history, then this is your country – we are surrounded by castles, fine cathedrals and medieval towns and villages. The major cultural centres of Toulouse, Carcassonne, Albi, Castres and Beziers are all within about an hour’s drive from the gite making exploring the area very easy. Come and discover this relatively unknown corner of France! Registration Details SIRET 819159625
