  About our property

La Pitchoune is a detached property set in its own gardens, bordered by a cascading stream, nestling in the Mediterranean foothills of the Montagnes Noires on the edge of the small village of Boisset with magnificent views over the surrounding hillsides and probably some of the best air in Europe.

Inside the property

The house is very comfortable and pleasantly furnished. The terrace leads to:

A big downstairs living area with dining room table to one side and a cosy sitting area with TV/video, stereo, books, and a fireplace to the other side.

Open plan access leads to the fully equipped kitchen with washing machine, dryer, fridge freezer and microwave.

There is a downstairs toilet and an upstairs shower room/toilet.

There is one downstairs bedroom/living room with a double bed settee and two upstairs bedrooms (one with double and one with single beds) with superb views over the hills.

Bed linen and towels are included.

Outside the property

There is a big terrace partially covered in bamboo with an outside dining table. The soundtrack here is the nearby babbling brook and the views over the surrounding hills are magnificent.

The absence of light pollution allows the full enjoyment of the canopy of stars, watching shooting stars and the movement of the moon over the hills.

The terrace leads down towards the private drive and the enclosed garden with cherry trees. Turning the other direction, a path leads down to the stream, which, on hot days, offers a beautifully fresh atmosphere to relax in.

About our region

Boisset is set in the Parc Haut Languedoc, one hour from the Mediterranean beaches, 10 minutes from the ancient and historic Cathar cité of Minerve with its beautiful gorge and excellent restaurants, not far from Narbonne, and the Canal du Midi (which connects the Atlantic with the Mediterranean), the Pyrenees, the beautiful Corbières area and Spain are all within easy driving distance.

This is a wine growing area - the Minervois, Corbières, St Chinian, Hérault, Fitou as well as the Muscat are all local wines and the many caves offer the most delightful wines. Shops, restaurants and markets are nearby.

There are numerous walks around Boisset, either up the surrounding hills from some of which you can see the Mediterranean, or along the cool stream, where in various places there are pools big enough to swim in - and of course this is a paradise for mountain bikers.

Within easy driving distance you can go horse-riding, climbing, play tennis or go to a swimming pool. There is also a lake nearby where you can swim and windsurf.

This is a place truly for nature lovers – those who want a private, peaceful retreat, or those who want to combine the commercialism and the crowds of the Mediterranean beaches (only one hour away), with the ability to get away from it all, to a place where nightingales sing in the evening, where eagles fly and where wild boars forage close by at night.

We, the owners, live in the village. There is no commerce in the village but shops and supermarkets are within easy driving distance.
