Rougé is a small hamlet roughly in the centre of the Ariège. The hamlet is at about 600 metres, in the foothills of the Pyrénées. It is also roughly in the centre of the Parc Naturel Régional Pyrénées Ariégoises which was approved in 2009 to preserve and develop the area.
The Ariège has a long and fascinating history, from pre-history and some of the earliest evidence of human activity in Europe, through early industrial development, with mines and quarries as well as textiles. It was also the centre of the Cathar heresy and later a centre for Hugenots. It has lovely scenery and a varied natural life, with excellent local food.
Our house is one of the original farmhouses, now renovated. It is surrounded by fields and forest with walks in every direction. We have tried to maintain original features while making the house comfortable, meeting current accommodation standards.The original farmers who lived here with their families would not have had inside bathrooms and the fire was for cooking, not heating the house.
The evening meal is prepared and served by us and everyone eats together at the same table.
TheSuite consists of two rooms with a private bathroom opening at the front on to the south-facing balcony. There are a double bed and a single bed in the front room with a sitting area and a single bed in the back room.
The second room, the Grenier, is in the old loft at the top of the house with a private shower room. It opens at the front on to a south-facing balcony. There are a double bed and a single bed with a sitting area.
