We are Susan Martin and Adrian Hussey, Canadian owners of La Serre. We are retired and live in Owen Sound, Canada. We spend as much time as possible visiting our vacation property in France. We love to travel, enjoy fine dining, wine tasting and immersing ourselves in the local French culture. We also enjoy trips to Spain which is only an hour away! We both love to explore the region via mountain bike or hiking and often stop at a local village for lunch. Our local property manager Sam (Samantha) who speaks both English and French will be happy to help you with any issues during your stay.

Paziols is located in the Corbières district of Aude. This area of South West France, is set in the foothills of the Pyrennes, is close to the Mediterranean, and enjoys mild winters and hot summers. In the valley, the walking is gentle. Once you get out of the valley there are more challenging walks, hikes, and mountain biking trails in the surrounding foothills, or for extreme activities you can visit the Pyrenees Mountains, that are located about an hour drive from Paziols. The great medieval castles are a spectacular feature of the region. The Albigensian crusade against the Cathar heresy occurred in this region in the 13th century - a brutal and dramatic history which comes vividly to life among the castle ruins. The extraordinary walled city of Carcassonne, one of the most dramatic medieval sites of Europe, is only an hours drive away. For the bird watcher and naturalist, the area has a wide variety of Mediterranean flowers and birds. Within walking distance of La Serre, our local river, the Verdouble provides a beautiful and safe place for swimming and sunbathing. As well, the Mediterranean is only 45 minutes drive away and it is littered with miles of sandy beaches.
