Welcome to Montclar Holidays 5 Self Catering Gites in the heart of Cathar Country
Tariff
A collection of 5 beautifully restored timber and stone houses set in a tranquil garden with swimming pool in the centre of a charming “village circulade” in the South of France. Whether you want a bijou pied a terre for four or bring the whole family (up to 30!) there is something for everyone to enjoy. You might even use the conference and function room for that team building week or residential training course you had planned.
Situated in the heart of Cathar country, Montclar is ideally situated to explore the mysteries and myths of the Da Vinci Code. Rennes le Chateau, where the priest Sauniere allegedly found secret manuscripts and built his church, is just down the road. The romantic ruins of Cathar castles, perched high on mountaintops evoke tales of Templar knights, fair maidens and ancient legends. The medieval walled city of Carcassonne on an evening is unforgettable.
When you’ve had enough of history, you could try whitewater rafting or explore the magnificent unspoilt countryside on foot, bike or on horseback. You could also head for the Pyrenees, which can be seen from the village. The beach and Mediterranean is also just an hour away. Beautiful Barcelona is three hours away.
Montclar is in the wineproducing area of the Malepere and you could while away many a pleasant hour sampling the local produce. The foodmarket, which is held in a different village every day, is a good place to buy wonderful home produced fare and to take in the sights and sounds from one of the cafes in the square.
After all this you could return to your newly furnished house, lounge around the pool, and enjoy a barbeque in your own garden. Whatever your preference, we think you will have a wonderful holiday in Montclar
