Local area

This part of the Languedoc Roussillon region is an area of outstanding beauty and interest with a wealth of places to visit and enjoy including Carcassonne, Perpignan and the capital Montpellier.

Le Moulin sits just outside the little village of Issel which is about halfway between Castelnaudary and Revel and has easy access to the Mediterranean coast and the Pyrenean mountain range.

Revel and Castelnaudary are about 15 minutes and 10 minutes drive away respectively and provide access to local amenities including restaurants, bars, shops and banks.

The region is famous for “les Chateaux du pays Cathare” with local castles, towns and villages dating back over 800 years.

Historic towns such as Revel, Mirepoix, Foix, Fanjeaux, Limoux and Castres can all be reached within 30-60 minutes as can the three noted wine regions of the area; Fitou, Corbieres, and Minervois.

The nearest market town of Castelnaudary is famous for its cassoulet, which is served in almost every restaurant in town - Rick Stein visited Castelnaudary when he travelled along the Canal du Midi exploring the local cuisine of the area.

Rennes Le Chateau of the Da Vinci Code fame is about an hour and twenty minutes drive via Limoux and is well worth a visit.

There are two lakes – le Lac de la Ganguise and the Lac de St Ferreol within 20 minutes of Le Moulin  which both have beaches and various activities for all ages, including walking, sailing, pedaloes and mini-golf.

Golf courses are available at Carcassonne, Mazamet and near Toulouse.

Skiing - the Pyrenees hosts a number of ski resorts which can be reached in a little over an hour.

Axe le Therme offers facilities for all levels of skier and is an attractive place to visit at any time of the year.
