Our vacation home is located in the attic of the main house and has a separate entrance. Eric and Mieke, the owners, have their own cottage next to the main house. The vacation home is equipped with all modern amenities. We’ve tried to preserve the home’s authentic character while incorporating contemporary furnishings. Each room has its own shower room, and there’s a room with a bunk bed for three children. The sauna is located in this children’s room. We’re a half-hour drive (to Olonzac) from major stores, a bakery, butchers, pharmacies, and so on, which is why a large refrigerator and freezer are provided. Since we live largely self-sufficiently, this farm is partly self-sufficient. All kinds of products—such as various vegetables, our own meat products, bread, jam, eggs, and other items—are available (depending on the season). If you don’t feel like cooking, Eric will prepare tasty meals and Mieke will provide a delicious dessert (for a small additional fee).
Nature and surroundings
Our farm is situated on 56 hectares, with two small rivers flowing through our property. We have a mix of meadows and deciduous forest. At an elevation of 560 meters, it cools down enough in the evening to ensure a restful night’s sleep. The surrounding area is perfect for hiking and biking. You can swim in the pool or in the natural pools along the rivers. You can also enjoy spending time with our farm animals. The nearest village and neighbors are 3 km away. Attractions such as Minerve (car-free), Caunes, and Homps (Canal du Midi) are about a 20-minute drive away, while Carcassonne and the coast are about an hour’s drive away. In July and August, there’s a local market on Sundays in our village, which also has a restaurant. A larger market takes place every Tuesday in the picturesque village of Olonzac. The surrounding wineries are definitely worth a visit for a wine tasting. It’s the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse yourself in the peace, quiet, and stunning natural beauty.

It was a unique experience for our family to be able to “live on the farm” run by Eric and Mieke, who have so much knowledge, love, and passion for nature. We feel a deep sense of respect and gratitude for having been able to share in this experience for a week. The kids were taken along on the daily rounds to feed the chickens, the pig, the bulls… to water the vegetable gardens, or to fish for trout in the pond. They even got to ride along on the tractor!
We also enjoyed delicious meals when they cooked for us… accompanied by pleasant conversation over a nice glass of wine on the terrace under the linden tree.
In addition, the children (and we, too) loved playing with the grandchildren who were also there for a week.
Definitely highly recommended for families who love nature and/or farm life. For the little ones (under 2 years old), do be careful with stairs and changes in elevation.Het was voor ons gezin een unieke ervaring om te mogen “leven op de boerderij” gerund door Eric en Mieke met zoveel kennis, liefde en passie voor de natuur. We voelen heel veel respect en dankbaarheid dat we hier een week lang deelgenoot van mochten zijn. De kinderen werden meegenomen op de dagelijkse ronde om de kippen, het varken, de stieren… te voeden, de moestuintjes te begieten, of de forellen te vissen uit de vijver. Of zelfs mee op de tractor te mogen rijden!
Ook heerlijk gegeten wanneer voor ons gekookt werd… met fijn babbelen bij lekker glaasje wijn op het terras onder de lindeboom.
Daarnaast vonden de kinderen het ook heerlijk (en wij ook) om te spelen met de kleinkinderen die er net ook een weekje waren.
Zeker een aanrader dus voor gezinnen die houden van natuur en/of het boerderij leven. Voor de kleinsten (minder dan 2 jaar) wel uitkijken met trappen/hoogteverschillen.We had an unforgettable time at this organic farm, thanks to the passionate and incredibly hospitable owners and the beautiful, rich, and diverse natural surroundings…
The farm is conveniently located in the wooded “mountains” of the Haute-Longuedoc. As described, there’s a small river where you can enjoy a wonderfully refreshing swim. You’ll feel like you’re in paradise. Due to the elevation and the forest, the temperature there is up to 10 degrees cooler than 30’ further out on the plain, which is more than welcome during hot summers.
Life on the farm is all about living in harmony with nature: vegetable gardens, animals, a fishing pond, butterflies, birds… So there’s plenty of “buzz” here :-)
A 20-minute walk to the mountaintop takes you to a completely different landscape—rugged, rocky, and with breathtaking views.
A 30-minute drive through a mysterious nature reserve on a plateau overlooking the “gorges” takes you to the French Midi region, with vineyards, plane trees, and medieval villages. More than enough variety to explore!!We hadden een onvergetelijke tijd op deze bio-boerderij met dank aan de gepassioneerde en super gastvrije eigenaars en met dank aan de heel mooie, rijke en diverse natuur…
De boerderij is gunstig gelegen in de beboste “montagnes” van de Haute-Longuedoc. Zoals beschreven is er een riviertje waar het heerlijk verfrissend baden is. Je waant je in een paradijs. Temperatuur is er door hoogte & bos tot 10 graden frisser dan 30’ verder in de vlakte, wat in hete zomers meer dan welkom is.
Ook op de boerderij is het samenleven met de natuur: moestuinen, dieren, visvijver, vlinders, vogels… Er is dus veel “leven in de brouwerij” :-)
Op 20’ stappen tot aan de bergtop ben je dan weer in een heel ander landschap, ruig, rotsachtig en met adembenemend uitzicht.
Op 30’ autorijden door een mysterieus natuurgebied op een plateau met zicht op de “gorges” ben je in het Franse midi met wijnvelden, platanen en middeleeuwse dorpjes. Meer dan genoeg diversiteit om te ontdekken!!This text is automatically translated. -

A beautifully restored gite. You live along on the farm among the dogs, geese, chickens.... You are woken by the sun and a rooster. The cottage is equipped with all modern comforts. Delicious meals and cozy chats you can get right in. Blessed vacations!
Een mooi gerestaureerde gite. Je leeft mee op de boerderij tussen de honden, ganzen, kippen... Je wordt gewekt door de zon en een haan. Het huisje is voorzien van alle moderne comfort. Lekkere maaltijden en gezellige babbels kan je er zo bij krijgen. Zalige vakantie!
In the middle of ancient forests you will experience a nice and quiet vacation! No neighbors, only farm and wild animals. Swimming in a small river. Hiking through the woods to the mountain top. Pure nature!
Midden in de eeuwenoude bossen beleef je een fijne en rustige vakantie! Geen buren, enkel boerderij- en wilde dieren. Zwemmen in een riviertje. Wandelen door de bossen naar de bergtop. Puur natuur!
