Villa
Les Cerisiers is a large house on the outskirts of the medieval village of Chalabre, surrounded by farmland and forest in one of France's 'hidden secrets'.

About the neighborhood
The area is heaven for walkers and mountain bikers, with literally hundreds of official paths and tracks leading through the hills and mountains. Road cyclists can travel for miles on quiet, almost traffic-free roads. The Mediterranean is just one and a half hour's drive away.
A wide range of attractions is within easy reach; the beautiful medieval town of Mirepoix with its Monday market, the dinosaur museum at Esperaza, the prehistoric cave paintings at Niaux (one of the few remaining where you can actually visit the original paintings rather than replicas) and the remarkable city of Carcassonne, a World Heritage site that from a distance looks like a Disney movie set. The hot springs at Ax-Le-Thermes are great fun for everyone.
Getting around
We are in a beautiful, rural part of France and there is little public transport. Unless you are a very keen cyclist, a car or motorcycle is necessary to reach the various attractions in the area. However, once you get to, say, Foix, the railway will take you north to the lovely city of Toulouse or south to Spain.
Or head east and connect to the 'Yellow Train' tourist line, one the great railway journeys of the world.

How to get there
Chalabre is a hidden gem in a quiet, rural part of France, so you will need a car, either your own or hired at an airport/railway station.
Nearest airports are Toulouse (one and a half hours away), served by Easyjet, British Airways and Ryanair, and Carcassonne (one hour away) served by Ryanair.
The nearest main railway station is Toulouse, served by services from Paris and Bordeaux. From there, connecting services go to Carcassonne, Pamier and Foix.
The road system is excellent, and the only congestion you are likely to find is around major cities at rush hour. The nearest motorway to Chalabre is the A61/A62, exiting at Pamiers.
As we are in the south of France, all the channel ports are at least one day's drive away although many people choose to make the journey over two days. There are multiple budget hotels along the road, offering clean, comfortable rooms at very reasonable cost.
The nearest ports are Bilbao and Santander, about five and six hours away respectively. The two ports are served by Britanny Ferries, connecting to Portsmouth, Plymouth and Cork. Many drivers opt for these services, saving the drive down through France.
The airport at Carcassonne (one hour away) is served by Ryanair. It is a charming airport but with limited facilities. Car hire is available. Toulouse (one hour forty minutes away) is much bigger with more facilities, multiple car rental companies, etc. It is served by Easyjet, Ryanair and British Airways.
