Les Eaux Tranquilles, Belvianes et Cavirac. Holiday Rentals

Description for B&B:

Les Eaux Tranquilles is located in the stunning Gorge la Pierre-Lys, a protected area of outstanding natural beauty. Situated at an elevation of 320 meters above sea level, our property is on the outskirts of the charming village of Belvianes et Cavirac, which sits 200 meters below the winter snow line. This prime location makes us the perfect destination for both summer and winter vacations. We are conveniently positioned between the cities of Carcassonne and Perpignan, just a 40 and 50-minute drive away respectively. Both cities have airports serving the UK, Belgium, and Ireland.

At Les Eaux Tranquilles, we have created a warm and welcoming environment where guests can unwind from the stresses of everyday life. Our private park provides a sanctuary by the river Aude, where you can relax on our terrace with a bottle of wine, enjoying the soothing sound of the flowing river.

During the summer, we frequently host barbeques on the terrace, allowing our friends and guests to mingle and soak in the wonderful ambiance of the Pyrenees mountains.

The nearest town to us is Quillan, just 4km north on the D117. There, you will find a variety of restaurants, bars, shops, banks, a railway station with connections to the main line station at Carcassonne, a coach station with links to Carcassonne and Perpignan, a tourist office open year-round, and a main post office. In the summer, Quillan comes alive with outdoor concerts in the two squares, as well as an international folk festival that visits for two weeks in July. Belvianes also enjoys its own three-day fete with live music and entertainment. The region is abundant with vineyards and wine caves where you can sample and purchase local wines. Just a short drive away is the town of Limoux, renowned for its production of Blanquette, the first-ever sparkling wine in France.

The ancient Cité of Carcassonne, famous for its magnificent spires that inspired Walt Disney, is only a 50-minute drive from our property. In July, the Cité hosts a magnificent fireworks spectacular that attracts visitors from around the world.

Our grounds encompass a large private park of 0.75 hectares/2 acres, bordered by the river Aude. This river, home to trout and salmon, was visited by Robert Redford during his stay nearby. Inspired by the Aude's relentless journey to the sea, Redford directed the world-famous film "A River Runs Through It," after reading a book of the same name. Additionally, every other year, we are visited by the Tour de France, as it passes at the top of our road.

A three-minute walk from our property will lead you to our local Auberge, which offers reasonably priced meals with outdoor seating in the summer. It's an ideal spot to relax, eat, drink, and watch the Tour de France.

There are numerous picturesque lakes nearby where you can swim or enjoy a picnic. Within an easy hour and a half drive, you can reach the magnificent Mediterranean beaches, free from the high-rise hotels commonly found in Spanish resorts. Take a coastal road to Spain and explore the small French fishing villages nestled in charming bays. You can even bring back fresh fish from the boats and cook it on our barbecue in the evening, accompanied by an excellent bottle of Languedoc Roussillon wine.

It may all sound idyllic, and that's because it is. We firmly believe that your stay with us, whether for one night or two weeks, should be as enjoyable as possible. We take pride in offering the highest level of customer service, ensuring that no request is too much trouble for us. But don't just take our word for it – take a look at the comments from our previous guests to see what they have to say.

We welcome guests of all nationalities and provide secure parking in our grounds, as well as a secure garage for touring motorcycles and cyclists, who are always welcome.
