Property Details

Millepetit is in a small domain on the banks of the Canal du Midi where farming is the main activity. The cottages (which were recently seen on Rick Stein's "French Odyssey", adjoin a barn, which is adjacent to a small chateau. Four families live in the domain as well as seasonal farm workers. Besides vines, the farm produces a variety of fruits and vegetables, which can be bought directly from the farmer - fresher and more local would be hard to get! Depending on the season, the farm can be a hive of activity. Early mornings are the norm! The house is split into 2 cottages, and can be rented as a whole unit for 10 people, or as 2 separate cottages sleeping 6 & 4. There is a bridge across the Canal where the farmer has a paddock with goats and a pony. Next to the paddock, we have created a more secluded garden area with shade, and there are stunning views of the Corbiere hills. Loungers, table, chairs and a cool box are provided - you just provide your book!
