French Holiday Cottage

Siran

Hortensia Cottage is in the charming French village of Siran, with a population of approximately 600, set in the heart of the Minervois wine growing region close to Carcassonne. Siran has a small local supermarket, a boulangerie & a friendly bar which serves bar meals & regularly has live music. The village also has two excellent restaurants. Siran has an annual village fete which is usually held over the first weekend of July & includes stalls, live music, dancing & wine from the area.

Siran village is 5km from the Pepieux leisure lake for swimming, boating and wind surfing. A short drive to the north east brings you to the beautiful fortified citadel of Minerve with its ramparts and deep canyons. Alternatively, a short drive south will bring you to the tree lined banks of the Canal du Midi. A 30 to 45 minute drive will take you to the French Mediterranean coast & the excellent beaches of Narbonne, Gruissan & Valras.

The walled city of Carcassonne with its narrow streets, museums, bars & restaurants is just 30 minutes away by car. Just outside the city is Carcassonne Plage, a man made beach on a fresh water lake ideal for a family day out. Siran is therefore the ideal base from which to explore the Languedoc-Roussillon area.
