Durban-Corbières - Chez Noisette (Durban-Corbières)

Villa for 8 people in the south of France - ideal for cyclists of all abilities

Chez Noisette is perfectly placed to explore the Aude area of Languedoc by bike. For the leisure cyclist, there are endless local routes from the door through vineyards (and there are four free 'house' bike for guest use). For more serious cyclists, the Aude region offers a host of long, flat and hilly routes (see here for ideas) in an area that features regularly on the Tour de France route. Many of Languedoc’s jewels are within reach, including Carcassonne, Beziers, Narbonne, Lagrasse and the Canal du Midi. The village of Durban-Corbières has a bar/restaurant and a mini supermarket for supplies. The villa sleeps 8 people in four double bedrooms and three bathrooms; all bedding and a professional clean are included. There is a pool for warmer months and amazing views of the medieval castle and beyond. Various airports will get you here (transfers available), or take the train to Narbonne (20km). This is a well-priced villa that, split between 8 people, makes an affordable cycling base in one of France's top-notch cycling regions.
