Location:

Montréal benefits from being in a near perfect location in SW France.  The hilltop town is close to the Mediterranean coast, within easy reach of the Pyrénean Mountains for winter sports, and a close neighbour of Carcassonne with its’ international airport and superb modern amenities.

Living in Montréal you will never be bored with the view.  It is a landscape of beautiful rolling countryside and you can almost taste the wine as you watch the hot summer sun ripening the grapes.   Although not a large town, Montréal has much to offer.  There is a café, bar and a restaurant as well as a fabulous bakery.  It has no less than 3 outdoor public swimming pools, a lake and public tennis courts - all within easy reach of the property.  

Finally we should mention Carcassonne which has an excellent golf course, and offers almost any sporting activity you can think of! There are lakes for water sports, leisure parks and the lovely Canal du Midi for a spot of long boating.  It is a beautiful walled city and its castle was the inspiration for Walt Disney’s Sleeping Beauty.  Budget airlines operate several flights into Carcassonne from a number of UK cities.
