Far from everything but close to the essential

Welcome to Belsoleil!
We welcome you in a house of character, renovated with benefits of charm and comfort. It is accessed after a small dirt road of 1300m ...

Located in the Regional Natural Park of Haut Languedoc, 700m above sea level, in a wooded environment, Belsoleil is a unique place, isolated from the world, where you will appreciate the calm and the silence, where you will be able to find your personal rhythm and rest body and spirit.
During the day, you will admire the Canigou massif in the background while at night, the absence of light pollution will allow you to rediscover the existence of stars.

Accessible on foot from the house, vast plateaus of altitude offer an exceptional panorama, from Sète to the central Pyrenees.
While enjoying a large network of marked trails, ideal for hiking or mountain biking, you can meet many animals and birds remarkable because here the natural environment is really preserved.

Many visits can be organized for the half-day or the day. When it is very hot, we head to the Plateau des Lacs (Somail and Espinouse) and when it is cooler, we visit the scrubland, the wine plain and the coastline (Minervois, Cabardès or Narbonnais).
Several possibilities exist to make sporting routes mtb but also to pedal quietly with family on the green way "passa païs" which borrows the circuit of the old railroad of Mazamet in Bédarieux. Bicycles can be rented at Saint Pons de Thomières.

The Minervois offers a great variety of beautiful landscapes but also a rich cultural and architectural heritage to discover.

You will not miss visiting the Cathar sites of Minerve (future Grand Site of France) and Lastours, the city of Carcassonne and the Canal du Midi, both listed as World Heritage by Unesco and the wonderful abbeys of Caunes Minervois and Fontfroide.

In the heart of their vineyards, the winemakers met will be happy to make you taste their oenological treasures. In the mountains, the breeder, the market gardener or the beekeeper, the miller or the sawmill ... will share their quality products and their passion of the soil.

If you are interested in Romanesque art, archeology, caving and caves, Romans or Cathars, we will put our knowledge of the region at your disposal to fill your curiosity for this original and endearing region.

On site, you have at your disposal a shared swimming pool with the small cottage (2 people); it is heated (solar heating) and secured (8x4x1,50). Also available, a table tennis table but ... no TV or wifi.

The house consists of two bedrooms and two mezzanines, each sleeping 2 people.

Super weekend dans un cadre merveilleux
On était accueilli chaleureusement par Marcel et Ingrid dans cette magnifique endroit, loin de tout. C'est une maison tres cosy, on s’y sent bien. Ils nous ont indiqué une super balade à faire avec nos enfants jusqu’au plateau, avec une vue impressionnante. Un séjour à refaire avec plaisir, et pour plus longtemps.

Belsoleil porte bien son nom
Agréable semaine dans le calme et la beauté du lieu. balades en forêt, farniente au bord de la piscine depuis laquelle la vue est somptueuse, pétanque et apéros, nuits étoilées.... Nous avons trouvé chez Ingrid et Marcel ce que nous cherchions. Un merveilleux séjour !

Paradise on earth
Before coming we referred in our family to Belsoleil as ‘paradise’. This was based on the photos. - and was risky as our expectations were as a result extremely high. After two weeks we can only say that it deserves this name even more then we could have imagined beforehand. Belsoleil is a magical place. It is to be enjoyed by anyone who loves butterflies, trees, aclovely pool and above all: silence. Especially the latter is still resounding within us. Added tot this is the incredible hospitality of Ingrid and Marcel, who did everything they possibly could do (and even more) to make us feel welcome. The house felt as our own within 24 hours, our sole regret is the two weeks went by so quickly. But this is at the same time a motivation to return to this place perhaps even longer. Belsoleil will be in our hearts forever!

Calme et repos au bout du monde
Belle semaine passée dans ce gite du bout du monde, ou, du moins, du bout du chemin... Calme et repos sont les mots qui me viennent pour définir notre séjour. Beau domaine, très bien entretenu, départs de promenade à proximité qui nous entraînent vers de superbes paysages. La piscine indispensable avec une vue splendide sur le parc du Haut-Languedoc. Ce gîte pour 8 personnes est un peu trop petit, une des chambres (sous pente) n'est pas agréable, claustrophobes s'abstenir! Il est bien équipé, fonctionnel, pensé pour le bien-être des vacanciers. Un grand merci à Ingrid et Marcel pour leur accueil, leur gentillesse et pour leur disponibilité. Nous leur souhaitons bonne continuation .
