GÎTE LES ECHAUNES 9 PERSONNES
In the city and in the country! Gîte passionately restored with local materials, in the former miller's house dating from 1870, in a charming Lauragais village, 30km south-east of Toulouse
Sorze pine for the bedroom floors, exposed stone and beams on the ground floor. It was in the former home of the miller of the four Montbel mills—which no longer exist—that Marie-Célie, the owner, undertook four long years of renovations before opening this guesthouse. With a deep passion for the local region, she offers you a comfortable, family-friendly stay in a quiet residential neighborhood.
Thanks to its proximity to the village, everything is within walking distance: shops, restaurants, the lake, and more. The Les Echaunes guesthouse takes its name from the old neighborhood where Marie-Célie’s parents lived—a family originally from the Drôme region.
The photos will make you want to discover this wonderful region of Lauragais: Toulouse, 30 km away, with its Place du Capitole; the cuisine of the southwest; Caraman, with its swimming lake and market. The names of the rooms have also been carefully chosen: “Violettes de Toulouse,” “Cocagne,” “Souleilla,” and “Canal du Midi” (an exceptional creation by Pierre-Paul Riquet, linking the Atlantic to the Mediterranean), which is 20 km from the guesthouse. Revel-Lac-Saint-Ferréol is 23 km away: a Grand Site Occitanie, a swimming lake, and a City of Art; and Carcassonne is 78 km away.
