4 Bedroom House in Cruzy

Whether you are a small group of hikers, bikers or strollers, then 'Joyeuse' is just the base for you....or if you’re a couple who wants somewhere comfortable to relax after a day of sampling the region’s history, countryside , coast and gastronomy . Small family reunions have enjoyed the house’s facilities when the sun shone in summer and celebrated a warm Christmas in the gentle chill of a Languedoc winter.
'Joyeuse' is large spacious early twentieth-century 'maison de maitre' situated beside a historic sixteenth-century fortified church. The upstairs bedrooms will sleep nine. Two of the bedrooms are en-suite and there is a well-appointed bathroom for everyone else, as well as a downstairs toilet and shower. If there is anyone in the party for whom the staircase could be a problem, there two single beds in the study downstairs.
The kitchen is well equipped for meal preparation; the lounge is comfortable with TV and wifi connection to stream entertainment to your devices. There is also another reception room for those who need to spread out their maps or play a board game.
Cruzy is surrounded by vineyards and hills; take a couple of hundred steps from the house and you are in the open, surrounded by vineyards with the opportunity to walk for kilometres into the surrounding hills. It has a splendid butcher/ charcuterie, a baker, épicerie and small café-bar. Nearby Capestang on the Canal has supermarkets and restaurants, just ten minutes’ drive away (or a few stops on the local bus) .
If you want a gourmet restaurant there’s one of the best in the region within a short walking distance (2km 15 mins walk) and another on the Canal du Midi just three miles away. A little further afield but still within less than half an hour’s drive there are small towns and villages with their auberges, cafés and bistros.
Above all, Cruzy is brilliantly situated for those who want to visit interesting places or have more vigorous activities in mind – as well as those who want do wine-walks or tasting (or buying!) of Saint-Chinian, Minervois, Fougères and many more.
A ten-minute drive brings you to the Canal du Midi, with its tow-path stretching for miles in each direction, taking walkers and cyclists through small villages and towns. One such is Le Somail with a couple of restaurants, boat trips and an amazing second-hand bookshop. If you fancy a swim, there is a small natural lagoon in Bize.
Further afield but still only a half-day trip will take to you to major towns, each with their own history. Beziers is one of the major centres of Cathar history. Its castle and cathedral dominate the surroundings and a must-see in the area is the cascade of nine locks on the Canal du Midi.
Narbonne’s history goes back to Roman times. It has a brand-new Museum of Antiquities, and a Museum of Contemporary Art. It’s just five minutes’ drive from the town’s spectacular Market Hall; you’ll need to take several supermarket carrier-bags to stock up with the local produce. From there, it’s only about twenty minutes’ drive to the coast with sandy beaches and endless fish restaurants.
For those who want a day out the choice is sans pareil whether your bag is history or physical activities. Minerve, the Cathar village, is poised high above a gorge. Go east to the spectacular Pont du Gard, a fifty-metre high aquaduct built by the Romans to supply water to Nîmes where the wonderful Roman amphitheatre hosts jazz and other concerts in the summer.
For walkers of all abilities there are trails and rock-climbing opportunities in the Gorges d’Héric. If it gets too hot then there are rock pools to cool off in.

Summary: We had a lovely week in this quirky village house. Very roomy bedrooms most with their own ensuite. Property kept quite cool as the walls are so thick and there are shutters on all the windows. Gorgeous area to explore with some fantastic restaurants. Incredibly friendly village with a great bakery. Loved our holiday here. Thank you Carol for letting us enjoy your very grand property.

Summary: We loved this old Maison de Maitre right in the middle of the village next to the church and village square. Thank you to the owner Carol for all the information and ideas for great days out. We enjoyed days out visiting the amazing village of Minerve, walks through the Gorges and great meals out along the Canal du Midi. Close enough to the coast for beach days and for visiting the 9 locks and Beziers. The old book shop at Le Somail is a must for book lovers and a great ice cream parlour nearby.

Summary: Our family stayed in Cruzy for one week and let me just say: It was a week of pleasure and indulgence. The majestic house is situated in the middle of the village, in very short distance to the local bakery, butcher, post office and church. After arriving, we explored the house, feeling like a character from Downton Abbey who has just bought a new estate. With its high walls and doors, tasteful furniture and general spaciousness (3 bathrooms, 5 toilets!), the house makes you feel truly royal. Our usual day: In the morning, we went down to the lovely terrace for breakfast, enjoying the fantastic Pain Au Chocolat and Croissants from the bakery. After that, we visited several villages and attractions, including Roquebrun, the Gorges d'Heric and the Canal Du Midi. In the afternoon, we went swimming, which is possible in several lovely rivers 15 minutes away. We finished our day with lunch, tasting all kinds of local specialities and finally spent some time on the terrace before falling into our soft beds in the cosy bedrooms. Dear Carol, thank you for sharing your wonderful house and preparing everything in the best way possible. We absolutely loved our stay and enjoyed every single minute!

Summary: We absolutely loved staying in this house in Cruzy. This was one of our family's favourites during our recent European holiday. This house certainly has it's quirks being as old as it is but really, this added to its charm. We felt that it was a bit like staying in a house that a french Jane Austen type novel would be set in. We could have quite happily stayed a lot longer. Cruzy gave us all a taste of real village life in the South of France. We quickly got used to the early morning 'alarm' bells at 7am from the local church. We initially thought that when the owners had stated that you will not miss anything that happens in the village because the loud speakers let you know, we thought that this was a euphamisim for the church bells, but no....there really is a loud speaker announcement when anything happens eg, market, fish van arrives etc. This is a rural, quiet village and within easy travelling distance to the coast and many attractions. We enjoyed the local Fossil Museum, the access to the Canal Du Midi at many locations, Minerve (big hit with our family) and the surrounding countryside and towns in general. There are plenty of good wine tasting opportunites as well. We stayed out of the main tourist season and found plenty of things to keep us occupied, including lovely walks around the village of Cruzy itself and up into the surrounding vineyards. We bought bread and croissants daily at the local bakery and voted them as some of the best we have eaten on our trip around France. We also bought food and wine from the local grocery store and found the prices to be quite reasonable. The Supermarche is not far away either. The locals were friendly towards us. We enjoyed the markets that are held in many local villages, details in the house. We also found the best tasting apricots that we have ever had on sale at the roadside just north of the village. Cruzy will always be a family favourite. We fell in love with the area and it's way of life. If we lived closer, we could see us visiting every year. The house also has the biggest entry key we have ever seen! Our children were very impressed! This house has everything that you could need on your holiday, we found it to be very well equiped. Make the choice to stay here and you will not be disappointed, we felt that this was a real 'french' holiday experience.

Summary: Dear Carol: I was lucky enough to be invited to share my friends Jim and Simon's vacation and our week in your wonderful home was so much fun and we were very comfortable. Each day we ventured out to see a highlight following the Crusader's paths and down to Spain to the Dali Museum and to the beaches, perhaps we didn't see it all but we didn't miss much - and then I got a book about the Canal du Midi and was enthralled with the drama. The little French I know got me around and the last evening we dined at the restaurant you recommended and it was pleasant weather. We sat outside, relaxed and really enjoyed the menu presented to us. Otherwise, we cooked and truly enjoyed the delicious food we purchased in Cruzy and nearby villages. Your home was a paradise we rushed to it after our daily excursions; Jim always found the road home. So, thank you for sharing and we will tell our friends and perhaps one or two will follow suit. I wish you and your family well and know that you will be enjoying Cruzy soon. Always - Joan

Summary: This is a glorious house. It is full of grandeur and elegance. It has been beautifully renovated by the owners, in keeping with the period, and yet also maintains a comfortable and lived in charm. It has a great, functional kitchen, a plethora of places to eat, lovely big beds and good bathrooms. Cruzy, itself is a lovely little town, worth a browse in its own right. It also has enough amenities to keep you going before your big supermarket shop! It is well placed for the canal de midi and some wonderful places of interest, and, of course, the region's wine is fantastic!

Summary: True French country experience. Although small, the town is welcoming having a feeling of stepping back a bit in time. The property is well maintained with a special character that uniquely fits the town itself. One must adapt to the requirements that a house of this age poses to its renovation. The layout may be somewhat quirky, but nothing is lacking. The town has all conveniences including bakery, butcher, and small grocery. A large supermarket is 15 minutes away. Even in February, we found much to see within an hour's drive of Cruzy. We never lacked for things to do. The owner is quite accomodating, and she was very prompt in her communication. We have stayed in several rentals throughout France, and not only would we recommend this property, we intend to return.
