Hello,
La Baysse is a large 18th century,
stone Farmhouse nestling in approximately 4 acres of park, gardens
and fields. Many trees (Poplar, Sycamore, Flame Cedar and Fir)
border us on one side along a "Petit
Ruisseau" (stream). An ancient track surrounds
the property. The path of "St Jacques
de Compostella" and this Petit
Chemin (pathway) runs from the end of our property
to "Les Moureaux".
a tiny hamlet of stone houses a few minutes walk away. The name
of the hamlet derives from centuries ago and means "The
Place of the Arabs".
Access to La
Baysse is good from:-
Toulouse Airport
(Blagnac, 75 mins away)
Carcassonne (45 mins
away)
The A62 Motorway or Route National
N113 (45 mins away)
It is a good day’s journey (including breaks) from the channel
ports, St Malo/ Caen/Cherbourg.
We are 1 hour east of Toulouse,
just in the Tarn Border,
5 mins from Sorèze,
8c a small medieval arty village, which is beautiful to wander
around. In the opposite direction is Revel
c1342 in la Haute Garonne, a small town with
a superb 14c covered market square listed in France's top 100
preserved sites. Also Revel
being a Major Centre in France for creating fine Furniture - Bronze
& Marquetry work as supplied to the Kings and Presidents of
France.
The stunning back drop to our
area are The Black Mountains
which spread through many departments, the northern slope culminates
in the Pic de noire (1210
metres) and its southern slopes drop gently (700 metres) to our
Lauragais region.
The oaks - beech - fir - spruce
woods are a joy for walkers, bird watchers (240 species) or just
visiting the many petit villages that take your breath away with
their quaintness (Arfon).
The vast lakes (Saint Peyres / La Raviège)
Dams and Reservoirs are a magnetic lure for fishermen, the views
are stunning.
The Mediterranean, the beaches
of Narbonne are just 90 minutes
away. A further 30 mins will put you at the border of the Pyrenees
for Spain!. Between the two are the sun drenched beaches with
a backdrop of the Pyrenees and Vineyards in abundance. Collioure
is a must see place to visit as are Perpignan,
Narbonne, Carcassonne and Toulouse.
