Les Palmiers

About this property

Framed by sweeping views of the Aude countryside, Les Palmiers is a contemporary holiday home that balances modern comfort with the natural beauty of southern France. This detached, air-conditioned abode welcomes guests into a pretty setting where Mediterranean blooms scent the air and long, lazy days revolve around the poolside below.

Inside, the open-plan living and dining area is effortlessly inviting, with soft light streaming through large windows and a calming, neutral palette throughout. The kitchen is well equipped for relaxed holiday meals, while the living space offers a warm corner to unwind, complete with Wi-Fi, a wood-burning stove and Smart TV with Netflix and Amazon Prime. Two stylish bedrooms provide restful sanctuaries, one a double with ensuite shower room, the other a twin alongside a family bathroom.

The south-facing garden is designed for outdoor living. Begin the day with breakfast under the covered terrace, linger over barbecues with a glass of local wine or sink into a lounger by the heated swimming pool, reached via steps from the terrace and outdoor lounge.

Les Palmiers is located within the sleepy village of Brézilhac, where the rhythms of rural life continue. Just ten minutes away, the villages of Montréal and Belvèze-du-Razès offer bakeries, cafés and local restaurants, while Castelnaudary’s traditional cassoulet and Bram’s vibrant market add flavour to any outing, alongside the banks of the Canal du Midi. Carcassonne’s medieval citadel, Mirepoix’s half-timbered square and Limoux’s sparkling wine heritage all lie within a half-hour drive.

Whether you’re exploring ancient castles or enjoying summer afternoons in the garden, Les Palmiers offers the best of the Languedoc lifestyle.

Located in the pretty village of Brézilhac, Les Palmiers offers a picturesque escape in the heart of the Aude countryside. Surrounded by gently rolling hills and vineyards, this idyllic location strikes the perfect balance between rural charm and easy access to some of the region’s most captivating towns and landmarks.

Within just a 10-minute drive, guests will find the neighbouring towns of Montréal (8km) and Belvèze-du-Razès (6km). Here, you’ll discover everything needed for a comfortable stay from traditional boulangeries and local cafés to charming restaurants and small grocery shops.

For a wider choice of amenities, the towns of Bram (12km) and Castelnaudary (23km) offer larger supermarkets and bustling weekly markets. Castelnaudary, in particular, is a must-visit for lovers of French cuisine as it’s the undisputed home of cassoulet, the region’s famed slow-cooked dish. Both Bram and Castelnaudary lie beside the Canal du Midi, perfect for long cycle rides and boat trips.

Just 26km away lies the medieval cité of Carcassonne — one of France’s most iconic and breathtaking attractions. With its turreted ramparts, cobbled streets and atmospheric squares, Carcassonne is a treasure trove of history, gastronomy and artisan shops. Whether you’re attending a summer concert within the castle walls or enjoying a long lunch overlooking the Aude River, the city offers unforgettable experiences in every season.

For a more laid-back day out, the market towns of Mirepoix (23km) and Limoux (21km) are both within half an hour. Mirepoix enchants visitors with its colourful half-timbered houses and Monday morning market, while Limoux is renowned for its sparkling wine, Blanquette de Limoux, believed to be the oldest brut in the world. Both towns also boast excellent dining options, showcasing the region’s love of fresh produce and rich flavours.

Whether you're exploring ancient castles, tasting world-class wines or simply soaking in the sun from your private terrace, La Belle Vue offers a gateway to many wonderful highlights of this part of southern France.
