  About our property

Marseillette is between the Corbieres and the Minervois wine growing areas and close to the villages of Trebes and Capendu (10 minutes) and Carcassonne (15 minutes) and 40 minutes from the beaches of Narbonne.

Les Petites Ecuries' (The Small Stables) owners have started to renovate the property and have named the house nearest the pool, Tango after one of the four horses from the old stables. The grounds around Tango are landscaped and the majority of the acre around the main house is currently in lawn, with some large trees. Tango has been equipped and decorated to a very high standard by its interior designer owners.

This is a beautiful single level house with views over the pool (70 sq.mtrs). The accommodation comprises

Living/dining room with CD player with a selection of CD's. Twin double doors open up onto the terrace and pool.

New open kitchen fully equipped to a very high standard and includes dishwasher, electric hob and oven, family fridge/freezer, espresso coffee maker.

Master bedroom with a king size double bed, double doors onto pool terrace

Bedroom 2 twin single beds - sleeps (2) with cot and views over the garden at the rear of the house. TV for showing Videos.

Bathroom with shower, large sink, toilet and hair dryer.

Outside

The pool and house are surrounded by a tiled terrace, lawn and gravel. Passing the barbecue, steps lead up to the rear of the house to a quiet shaded area, which generally enjoys a refreshing breeze. The "lunch tree" provides excellent shade and a conducive area to consume the fine local wines (which we can provide) and French cuisine.

Tango guests have the sole use of a beautiful HEATED (28 degrees all year round) salt water pool. This sun soaked pool is great for the whole family in that the pool is split into thirds, the first third is 900mm deep so young children can stand up and play, the next is sloping down to the final third which is 2 meters deep great for diving etc. At the deep end there is a ledge that young children and the less confident swimmers can stand on when in the deep end.

Mountain Bikes

Even though we have about 20 bikes to rent its best to order to ensure that the right ones for you are available on your arrival, as we do rent these out to others.

About our region

Southern France is beautiful in the Spring and early Summer. Its not that hot that you need to take shelter from the midday sun. Ideal for walks or cycling along the tow path of the Canal du Midi, playing golf, or exploring the local villages. 

For your arrival and enjoyment at Tango we have prepared a book containing all the local information, supermarkets, doctors, dentists, Boulangerie/Patisserie and Charcuterie/Boucherie. Marseillette, Trebes, Capendu and Carcassonne have all the essential shops and there is an excellent choice of restaurants within a reasonable distance (walking and by car). Markets in the villages around Marseillette are on different days of the week and are well worth a visit.

There are riding stables 3 kms from here and tennis courts in Trebes (7 kms), hiking or cycling routes into the Alaric hills or along the canal. The Jouarres and Cavayre lakes (15 and 10 kms) have supervised swimming and a hire base for sailboards and kayaks. The beaches of Gruissan, Leucates and Narbonne Plage are about 40 minutes by car.

The medieval city of Carcassonne (15 minutes by car) and the ancient Cathare chateaux (within an hour's drive) are all well worth seeing. The Canal du Midi and the locks at Marseillette and Trebes are interesting places to pass the time of day, while some prefer to walk along the Canals' tow paths under the shade of the large plane trees.
