Mountain View Townhouse is a boutique townhouse nestling in the foothills of the Pyrenees. Conveniently situated in the vibrant town of Quillan, in the picturesque Upper Aude Valley, it is an ideal base from which to explore the famous “Cathar country”. A host of restaurants and shops are within easy walking distance, and the River Aude, perfect for picnics or sunbathing, can be found across the square. Quillan is located at the foothills of the Pyrenees, on the road between Carcassonne and Perpignan. The River Aude runs through the town. At the base of the mountains, fields of sunflowers and vineyards straddle the roads with snow-capped peaks in the distance. The location is thought of as one of the most spectacular in France, which is one of the reasons for the increase in tourism and migration to the area. Peyrepertuse, Montsegur, Puilauren, Queribus, Roquefixade and other spectacular ancient Cathar sites are within easy reach. The beaches of the Mediterranean are little more than an hour away. In the other direction, the awe of Carcassonne is 45 minutes drive, while the majesty and sophistication of Toulouse is one and a half hours away. Quillan is a medium-sized town 6 km from Espéraza, neighbouring the commune of Ginoles, and is popular for whitewater rafting, canoeing, fishing and kayaking on the Aude River and other outdoor activities including cycling, hiking and running. Whether you are looking for a relaxing, romantic getaway or an adrenaline packed adventure, the Aude has something to offer that will suit all tastes.
