Bouquerie Lagrasse opened its doors in July 2023, in the beautiful medieval village of Lagrasse, in South West France, and offers contemporary accommodation in a historic building overlooking the village square, in the center of Lagrasse. Listed as one of the one hundred most beautiful villages in France, Lagrasse lies on the banks of the Orbieu river facing the famous Abbey Sainte Marie which was founded under the protection of Charlemagne in the 8th century. The iconic building once housed a famous bakery, where the local baker and his family protected a Jewish couple from the occupying forces, during the Second World War. This building has now been completely renovated and will continue with a fully equipped kitchen workshop at its heart, on the ground floor, and seven luxury accommodation options, five of which have fully equipped kitchens. Design elements draw heavily on Scandinavian influences, with kitchens and washbasins by Vipp, and furniture by Vipp, Karl Hansen, Normann, More and Skargaarden. A continental breakfast will be served daily in the large kitchen and dining room on the ground floor or, weather permitting, in the courtyard. Languages spoken at Bouquerie Lagrasse include English, French, Spanish and Portuguese. Lagrasse is ideally located in the Corbières, a region famous for its wines, rugged beauty, mountains and hiking trails. Located approximately 30km from the Mediéval Cité of Carcassonne, its Cité and its Canal de Midi both being UNESCO World Heritage Sites, 43km from the historic Roman port of Narbonne and 141 km from Toulouse and its international airport.
