There is one other gite in the grounds (Latour - see separate listing) which gives families and larger groups the option to rent both at the same time. (Maximum of ten guests on site).

The house is situated within the grounds of the historic Chateau Mirabel with its 7 hectares of parkland and gardens, which guests are welcome to enjoy and explore. The grounds lead directly onto the historic Voie Romaine footpath, popular with cyclists and ramblers, which also provides a scenic walk directly into the town of Puylaurens.

The house is situated 2km from the historic town of Puylaurens, a village etape and birthplace of Marianne, the symbol of the French Republic. As well as its weekly market, the town has all the amenities you would expect (2 supermarkets, pharmacy, boulangeries, delicatessen, greengrocer, butcher, tabac, cafes and restaurants etc.).

There is a popular bus route that leaves from the centre of the town to Toulouse, multiple times during the day, should you wish to leave your car to explore this popular city.

As well as the popular tourist destinations of Toulouse, Albi, Carcassonne and Castelnaudary, there are so many towns and villages nearby that are well worth a visit all within 30 minutes by car.

As well as its famous Rugby Club, Castres is blessed with beautiful squares, elegant buildings and a taste of authentic France, from the covered market to the myriad of brocantes and cafes.

Alternatively, the hilltop village of Lautrec is recognised as one of the one beautiful villages in France and you will enjoy exploring its cobbled winding streets and learning about its famous pink garlic.

Not far away in unspoilt Soreze, at the foot of the Black Mountains, you will find not one but two fascinating museums - the Dom Robert Museum is housed in the former military school and along with Museum of Glass, is well worth a visit.

Head north to the historic town of Lavaur and you will find beautiful streets and stunning views, along with the Museum of the Pays de Cocagne, where many years ago, artefacts from Chateau Mirabel were donated, to preserve them for future generations.

The famous bastide market town of Revel is nearby and its Saturday market is renowned (search out the local artisan producers in the covered area of the market).

Should guests decide that they would like a night off from cooking, we work with a Private Chef from Toulouse, who can create a memorable meal for you in your gite. (As he is extremely popular, this will need to be booked well in advance).
