Enjoy the Pyrénées mountain-views and the golden sands of the award winning Languedoc beaches and explore the fascinating history of the Cathar. Corbiere really does have it all from climbing to hilltop castles to relaxing in the vineyards with a bottle of your favourite wine..

Whether its springtime cycling, autumn mountain climbing, winter skiing or beach time sun...The region of the Languedoc has something for everyone.

The neighbourhood:

'Villa Rouge' has been a popular base for tourist destination for the last 50 years due to its perfect position, covering over 6000m2 of landscaped gardens, orchard and vineyard in the centre of the Corbière 'wine route'.

Nearest villages: Fabrézan, St Laurent de la Cabrerisse, Ferrals - all 5 minutes.
Beaches: 20-30 minutes.

The national bicycle routes criss-cross through Corbière providing a rich choice of countryside from the the 100 Sq Km of pine forests with graded mountain bike tracks through to the gentle promenade of the Canal du Midi and coastal paths.

'Villa Rouge' caters for visitors all year around from skiing groups heading up for a couple of days in the Pyrenees (1hr30m to ski resorts) through to Spring and Autumn hikers heading for the beautiful lavender laden hills and of course the summer sun worshipers who are spoilt for choice between pool, sea, river or lake. Most of the Languedoc region is protected as a national park so beaches and forests remain pristine and with over 70 km of beach you can be assured of a place to call your own from the lively beaches of Narbonne to the tranquil lost oasis of 'Franqui Plage' (20 mins) which is also one of the leading Wind and Kite surf destinations in the Mediterranean.

The region is steeped in history as it was the centre of the 11th Century 'Cathar' religion which due to its disagreements with Rome resulted in the building of numerous fine castles and fortifications, the most famous being Carcassonne Castle (20 mins).

With the Spanish border being only 30 mins away you can easily go on a gastronomic tour covering the fine southern French cuisine with its goats cheeses, cassoulet, duck specialities and fine wine but also dip into the Catalan culture of Tapas, seafood and margaritas. Barcelona is only 1hr30m away by car or an hour by train from Narbonne station.

    This was our second year in the most amazing house!

    This was our second year in the most amazing house which provides an excellent base to explore the surrounding area. The stunning pool with its own kitchen area with BBQ and pizza oven, Boules court, hot tub and pool table kept the three generations happily absorbed when not exploring the surrounding countryside.

  • Matt | July, 2024

    We had a wonderful stay at Villerouge last week.

    We had a wonderful stay at Villa Rouge last week. Glorious setting, lovely view and a comfy home with everything you could possibly wish for in a holiday house. Highly recommended!

    Villerouge la Crémade is a tremendous house for a family group of varying ages….we were a family group of 11.

    Villerouge la Crémade is a tremendous house for a family group of varying ages….we were a family group of 11. The swimming pool area with its self contained kitchen and gas Barbecue is a wonderful place to spend the day; a great pétanque court; a lovely children’s play ground; bikes to use; table tennis and superb pool table for the late evenings! Superbly equipped! The situation is perfect for exploring this area of France with Carcassonne and Narbonne both very close as are the stunning villages of Lagrasse and Minerve and the castle ruins at Queribus. Also, many areas for picnics and river swimming and relaxed restaurants are nearby. We very much hope to return in the future.

  • Reem | July, 2022

    I would definitely recommend staying here! We stayed here as a large family with children and it was perfect for us! The villa is lovely, clean and spacious! There is air conditioning in a couple of bedrooms but multiple fans provided which helped in the heat! The pool is great with an outdoor kitchen and BBQ! The hosts responded very quickly to any questions before and during our stay and were extremely helpful! I would definitely recommend hiring a car if staying here - there are many large supermarkets about 15 minute drive from the Villa and it is about a 30 minute drive to Carcassonne. Overall 10/10 holiday! Can't thank the hosts enough for having us!

  • Antoine | July, 2021

    Amazing villa for quality time with friends or family in the middle of the wine yards. The house is fully equipped with brand new kitchens and bathrooms. The pool area offers lot of place to chill, swim and cook and eat with all equipped outside kitchen and dining area. I recommend strongly this rental!
