My stay was very much the result of fortunate chance. A terrible storm cut short my motorbike dash to the Pyrenees, and like several other motorcyclists I dripped in the relative security of the service station, combing the internet for somewhere to shelter for the night. 

It was further than I thought, along serpentine country roads. They were waiting for me to arrive, and the welcome was warm and helpful. My motorbike was brought into their garage, out of the weather. 

This is a lovely old house that has been converted to B&B. The rooms are reasonably large and airy, with high ceilings. Patterned tiled floors. Comfortable beds. Modern and convenient en-suite showers and toilets. There are books everywhere, and a comfortable communal sitting room to enjoy them. The owners are artistic, and the evening I arrived they were lodging one of a troupe of itinerant storytellers who were performing in the village for a few days. 

The rooms are named after notable artistic women in relatively recent history. For example, Karen Blixen and Lavinia Fontana (look them up!). The lady of the house is passionate about art and literature. I had a truly fascinating morning chatting with Le Conteur (the storyteller), and the owners. Given their motivations, there are sure to be local artistic and literary event for those interested. This really was wonderful value-added to my overall experience, in a region already replete with great places to visit, and quite unexpected. 

Breakfast was in the open courtyard in the centre of the house. Traditional French, with local honey and an interesting range of homemade jams. Coffee or chocolate in a bowl big enough to wash your fingers in. 

Thank goodness for the storm!

There is parking for cars on the street in front of the B&B. Nearby there is: a Post Office; cash machine; pizzeria; restaurant specialising in burghers

Charming and Unexpected Value Added!

We spent one night at Les chambers des Dames when exploring beautiful Montagne Noire area. It was a very good choice. The 19th century house retained its charm and is stylishly furnished with the attention to detail. We had a room on the first floor (Eslarmonde de Foix). It was cozy, designed with medieval decor. It had a attached bathroom (shower) and separate toilet. Everything was very clean. The free Wi-Fi was reliable. Directly from the room we had access to a private terrace with the sitting area. The house was located on the main road, but our room, facing to inner block, was very quiet. Outside the room in the hall we could use a good supply of reading materials. The parking was along the road just in front of the house. The host was friendly, attentive and gave us helpful tips for visiting nearby tourist places. We had breakfast in the cozy dining room. The food was copious and tasty with homemade yogurt, fresh fruit and pastries. This B&B is a great place to stay in Minervois wine region.

Pleasant town and B&B

We had a warm wonderful welcome from our hosts. Our room was large showing the age of the building beautifully, which was furnished  to set a romantic relaxed feel. Lovely white sheets and towels, every where was very clean. We had our own bathroom and large private roof top terrace (room 3) ideal to sunbathe and laze around in the sun. We booked for evening meals with wine and Beatrice was a wonderful cook. With 3 large courses and plenty of wine it was a perfect end to the day. In the morning Barnard served us a fresh local produce breakfast, with Beatrice's homemade jams and yogurts. Fresh juice and hot coffee. It was a wonderful treat for a 3 night break. Our hosts were filled with local info. Helping to make the perfect days out. Their warmth and enjoyment of their homely B&B is felt as soon as you enter their house. What a lovely couple. Many thanks to you both. X

Life in a French village

Fantastic B and B. Very comfortable rooms with great attention to detail. Delicious breakfast with local products at the table - fresh fruit, pastries, yoghurts etc. Béatrice is a fantastic cook and we also had an amazing meal in the evening. Béatrice and Bernard are knowledgeable about the surrounding area and able to recommend things to do. The B and B is laid back and welcoming. I would definitely go back again!

Excellent B and B

An old building has been very sympathetically restored, with large, high-ceilinged rooms and excellent decoration. This meant that my bathroom was just outside the room, but it was a small price to pay for the quality of the room.

The helpful owner gave me a very early breakfast.

They promise an evening meal with local produce, but it has to be be booked in advance. This is not at all clear from the listing on Tripadvisor or Booking.com.
