Surrounded by wooded hills and fragrant garrigues, Palaja is an ideal starting point for nature lovers. Trails winding between oaks and pines invite hiking or cycling, offering breathtaking views of the rolling landscapes of Cathar country.
Carcassonne
Carcassonne
In the heart of a department with great diversity and a rich cultural heritage
Benefiting from a mild and sunny climate, the Aude department offers a great variety of landscapes, alternating between fine sandy beaches, garrigue-covered plateaus, vineyards, and mountainous reliefs, combined with a significant built heritage. It is the perfect starting point for a multitude of tourist, cultural, and historical excursions, including:
  • the famous city of Carcassonne (10 minutes by car from the house), the largest fortified city in Europe, with its centuries-old ramparts and cobbled streets, watching over the region for over a thousand years;
  • many towns of Art and History (Narbonne, ...) and some of the most beautiful villages in France (Lagrasse, ...);
  • the romantic Canal du Midi, a true haven of peace with remarkable flora and fauna;
  • the Cathar castles, a historic treasure forming a unique heritage ensemble;
  • the Abbey of Fontfroide, a sumptuous Cistercian complex from the 12th and 13th centuries nestled in a typically Mediterranean landscape;
  • local gastronomic specialities, influenced by the Mediterranean Sea, the mountains, and the wine-growing plains (cassoulet, fréginat, boles de picolat, oysters and mussels from Leucate, eel from the Bages lagoon, charcuterie, cheeses, wines (Corbières / Minervois), ...);
  • the six seaside resorts of the Aude and the Pyrenean ski resorts (an hour's drive away);
  • Spain (1h30 away) or Andorra (2h30 away).
Beaches of the Aude
The beaches of the Aude
Less than an hour from a diverse coastline featuring some of France's most beautiful beaches
On the Languedoc coast, the transition from land to sea happens slowly, naturally, and respectfully.
You must pass through the lagoons, their string of ponds, and the dune cordon to reach the Mediterranean shore.
The Thau lagoon - one of the largest in France - is a true inland sea, making it an exceptional spot, especially for water activities. Oyster farms line the northern shore of the basin. Shellfish farming has long earned its reputation here, with the famous Bouzigues oyster, renowned worldwide for its flavour.
The Languedoc lagoons are also real environmental treasures and a preserved paradise for birds.
On the edge of the lagoons - between Narbonne and Perpignan - the Sigean African Reserve hosts several thousand animals in semi-freedom over more than 300 hectares, offering both young and old an unforgettable day of wonder.
The beaches of the Aude stretch over long expanses of fine sand, with protected areas and ideal spots for water sports, including some of France's most beautiful beaches (such as La Franqui Beach in Leucate).
The beaches and the Mediterranean Sea are less than an hour's drive from the house.

  • Peaceful residential environment

  • Excellent energy performance
  • The villa has a buried 5,000-litre rainwater tank, supplying the two toilets, the washing machine, and the two outdoor taps (allowing a 35% annual water saving)
