La Souqueto B&B. A very successful 2019 season.

It’s fair to say that 2019 has been another successful season for La Souqueto B&B.

We do not measure our success by income but, by the number of wonderful and thoroughly interesting International guests that visit and use La Souqueto B&B as a base to explore the Languedoc region of South France. We have never made so many friends from all corners of the globe! A testament to this fact is that 52 couples returned in 2019 to continue their exploration of this richly diverse area of France.

Our self catering accommodation!

Now our guests staying at La Souqueto can choose from B&B or self catering accommodation in the Languedoc, South France.

Winter of 2019 we completely refurbished the family room, increasing the size of the main double bedroom, creating a new space for the twin bedroom, installing a kitchen/dining area and shower room.

A new name for the Languedoc region.

Languedoc has a new name! Use La Souqueto b&b Occitanie to explore it!

The regions of Languedoc-Roussillon and the Midi-Pyrenees have merged to form the larger administrative region of OCCITANIE. The new name was selected after a public poll, being the popular choice of almost a quarter of the voters.

All aboard for a Canal du Midi cruise!

Combine your stay at La Souqueto B&B with a Canal du Midi cruise!

Over the last year we have responded to our guests requests by extending the services of our boat Bella Mia from short day trips to piloted ‘stay overs’. Combining a stay at La Souqueto B&B with an extended two or three day canal du midi cruise is a unique service that has been really well received. We also offer trips to various restaurants along the canal du midi for lunch and return or evening meal and stay over-return the following day.

A B&B in the Languedoc for all seasons of the year!

The Languedoc boasts over 300 days of sunshine a year. Spring and summer months are stunning but this October and November has been so wonderful here in our part of the Aude. The Autumn colours have been just so vivid and with temperatures reaching the high 20’s our guests have taken advantage of the clement weather to walk and cycle and witness first hand the vibrant winter colours! We have even been able to continue to run day cruises on our boat Bella Mia on the Canal du Midi!

We  continue to explore the wonderful black mountains and the foot hills that surround us and have found some of the most beautiful walks and bridal paths within close proximity to our B&B in the Languedoc.

 

B&B accommodation South of France

A morning by the sea…30 mins from La Souqueto B&B

A very good reason for booking B&B accommodation South of France is witnessing some of the most beautiful and peaceful coastline in the Languedoc with villages dotted along it.

We took an early morning trip to find this small fishing village on the Island of St. Martin.

A small inlet off the Etang (lake) is surrounded by fishing shacks stacked full of nets and bouys. In the little harbour fishermen were unloading their early morning catches to sell on the make-shift harbour sides. We bought some beautiful sea bream for our evening meal.

Later that morning we drove a mile or so towards Gruissan stopping off at the salt flats and had lunch at a fantastic restaurant La Cambuse du Saunier.
