Situated among 7 acres of park and wooded land which straddles a trout stream, Le Moulin d'Arques was originally the Mill for Le Chateau d'Arques, one of the region's famous Cathar castles built in the 12th century.
The Mill has been completely refurbished (finished March 2009), this includes exterior walls being double insulated, under floor heating on the ground floor and a new wood burning stove, triple glazing, complete rewiring and new plumbing including refitting of all bath/shower rooms.
There is also a brand new designer kitchen with all facilities.
The main living area opens onto a covered terrace ideal for alfresco dining.
The grounds are a peace haven and once you cross the river you could walk, cycle or horse ride for days without crossing a main road,though in fact you are within 5 minutes walking distance of the centre of the village with a church, two bars, a post office, a general store and a bakery.
The separate apartment accommodation sits above a large garage and is bright and perfect for self-catering holiday makers. It has 2 double bedrooms both en-suite, a large lounge/dining room with a wood burner and an American-style kitchen.
You could of course use the apartment as your own accommodation and the Mill as a guest house.
Everyone's coming to live amongst the pages of Labyrinth and to uncover the reality underlying Dan Brown's fictional The DaVinci Code. Outside of the busy summer season, tourism still provides a good income to this area. Nestled between the Corbieres and Pyrenees mountains,this area is a magnet for tourists who love the outdoors.
