Maison de Laura is situated in a valley 20 minutes north of Carcassonne in the foothills of Montagne Noire in the small village of Salsigne. There is a local shop selling most items including fresh bread and croissants. We are within walking distance of the Cathar castles of Lastours. The historic walled city of Carcassonne is 30 minutes by car and 15 minutes to the canal du Midi where you can take a boat trip or simply walk along the canal banks or even hire bikes and cycle along the banks. .In Carcassonne on a Saturday there is a market selling local produce and often live music playing which all adds to the atmosphere. It is ideal for walking holidays as we are in the heart of the countryside. You do need your own transport to really enjoy the area.
