To this little corner of French paradise!
Sandwiched between the Pyrenees, the 'Montagne Noire' and the Corbieres (with the Mediterranean not much further on) ... this little area of France is very special. The culture here is steeped in history, the ratio of work:life is fairly well-balanced and the pace is generally slow, affectionately known as Aude Mode.
The regions within Aude are very diverse; from the southern slopes of the Montagne Noire, the rolling countryside of the Razes in comparison to the wilderness of the Corbieres; the plains of the Valley between Castlenaudary and Narbonne with the Canal du Midi running through. The lower foothills of the Pyrenees, with the Haute Vallee of the Aude river and the higher plains of Plateau de Sault. It's a ever changing landscape throughout the four seasons and an area of great natural beauty.
