About Us

My wife Gil and I were drawn to this area about Eight years ago. So taken were we with the people, the history, the mystery and natural beauty of the area that we moved here permanently.

That same folklore, the mystery and the sheer beauty of this wonderful part of France which attracted us draws many visitors from far and wide every year. The Mediterranean sea is just over an hour away as are Spain and Andorra.

   

The region caters for a wide variety of tastes, panoramic walking, folklore and cycling tours, horse riding and for the more adventurous everything from Gliding to White water Rafting.

 

The Cathar castles are a favourite with visitors and the Medieval Walled city of Carcassonne is quite breathtaking.

  

We hope that you are attracted to take a close look at Le Moulin with a view to making it your dream home in France.
