Anna & Michael were very welcoming & sociable (we visited a local wine bar together). There home was very well kept, with a great kitchen for home cooking (double hob/oven, huge fridge freezer, dishwasher etc.) The apartment has its own balcony and access to a private section of the garden with a bbq area, sun lounges & terrace overlooking the Aude. The apartment is located a 5 minute walk around from Limoux Central Station for those who wish to use the rail network.
As cyclists, Limoux was the perfect base. The town itself has plenty of grocery stores, butchers, fish mongers, mini markets etc. and a decent selection of brassieres and restaurants.
From Limoux we cycled through the valleys eastwards and visited a number of little villages, from Bugarach, Massac, Tornissan, Fontjouncouse and the scenery was beautiful. The terrain can be quite hilly depending on you're chosen route with maximum altitudes of over 800m. Nonetheless, this part of the world is still relatively untouched and the roads/villages were all cycle & hiking friendly.
Would definitely return to Anna & Michael's apartment.
