Tijdens de twaalf dagen dat wij in
Montplaisir mochten verblijven hebben
wij het ontzettend naar onze zin gehad.
Genoeg ruimte, prachtige omgeving, een
huis midden in schitterende groene
bossen met uitzicht in de verte op de
Pyreneeën.
Leuke plaatsen in de omgeving zoals
Mirepoix, een stadje met meerdere kunst
ateliers en een leuke weekmarkt. Ook een
tocht naar Andorra, bijzonder mooie
omgeving en uiteraard Carcasonne is aan
te bevelen. Dus meer dan genoeg om te
doen en je geen dag te vervelen. Erg
aangename vakantielocatie voor iemand
die ook van rust houdt!
During the twelve days we were staying
in Montplaisir we have had a lovely
time. Enough space, beautiful
surroundings, a house in the middle of
beautiful green forests, overlooking the
Pyrenees in the distance.
Nice places nearby such as Mirepoix, a
town with many art studios and a nice
weekly market. Even a trip to Andorra,
particularly beautiful surroundings and
Carcassone off course is recommended. So
plenty to do and days you do not get
bored. Very pleasant holiday location
for anyone who also like peace and
quiet!

| We spent a wonderful week at Montplaisir. The view is truly fantastic and the house and amenities outstanding. Mirepoix is a lovely village and the house is within an easy drive to other interesting Medieval cities. |

| After many months, we are still extolling the rustic elegance and exquisite appointments of Montplaisir. Which feature was best: the splendid view of the Pyrenees, sublime woodland privacy or proximity to cultural attractions (sans touristes) such as the market village of Mirepoix and ancient Carcasssonne? Not far south lies Catalan country and the mountain principality of Andorra. We enjoyed a balance of road trip destinations, local fare and quiet hang-time, frequently accompained by the supple wines of the Languedoc. |

We were lucky enough to spend 2 weeks last August at this lovely house in Belloc, near the wonderful town of Mirepoix. All 5 of us fitted very comfortably, with plenty of room to spare. (The house is rightfully listed for 6 persons).
The whole experience can be described as "utterly charming" from the quiet location of the property (high hills with prime, unobstructed views of the Pyrenees) to the sense of tradition and history. Everything is functional, solid, and no-nonsense and has been this way for centuries. We were greeted every morning by the cutest, most friendly threesome of donkeys! They became our pals as we learned to share our leftover vegetables and fruit!
The area is an endless well of great visits and discoveries: Carcassonne, Toulouse, Albi, Andorre etc. And you are a close enough to the sea and great mountains for winter sports.
Finally, my wife and I appreciate a good meal and good wines and the offerings were plentiful: all with great price/quality ratios (despite the value of the Euro last summer) and certainly much better values by far than the Provence/Cote d’Azur area.
Would we like to return to Belloc? You bet!
