Set in a beautiful old townhouse, “L’Appartement Cour” is light, airy and attractive. This spacious, 60 sq m apartment has all modern facilities yet retains many of the original features of the old building. The apartment overlooks Rue des Augustins which has shops and boulangeries and the main square can be seen by leaning out of the window! Limoux is a lively town but modern double glazing ensures that street sounds are kept to a minimum and, for those who like to have fresh air circulating, the double doors at the back of the apartment (which open onto the secure, inner courtyard) provide the perfect solution of allowing the coolest air in during the summer with minimal accompanying noise.

We migrated to the South of France from Yorkshire, England. Both places are beautiful but Limoux owns our hearts. Come visit and you'll see why!

Limoux is a vibrant market town of around 10,000 inhabitants. The town has everything you need within easy walking distance and at its heart is a beautiful archetypal French square full of bars, restaurants and shops. Limoux straddles the River Aude with its excellent picnic spots and the banks are lined with grand houses. Limoux likes to party in a most unselfconscious way! A very musical town, there are concerts and dances on a regular basis as well as markets, fireworks and fetes throughout the year, however Limoux is perhaps best known for its winter festival, the ‘Carnaval de Limoux’, running from January through to March. No description of Limoux would be complete without a mention of its excellent wines, particularly of the sparkling variety, in fact the world’s first sparkling wine was produced here in 1531. Any bar/restaurant will serve you a glass of the delicious local fizz and on busy nights the town resounds with celebratory sound of popping corks. Limoux is also an excellent base for discovering the history of the region and is ideally placed for exploring the coast, the mountains and some of the finest walking and cycling country in France.
