We bought our house in Leucate in 2008 as a family holiday home. We chose it because it had a lovely feel to it, We love its original unspoiled interior with the winding staircase and the terracotta tiles in the bedrooms. The first floor has two bedrooms and a bathroom with shower WC. The second floor has a spacious room with sofa, armchairs, beds and a recently built en-suite bathroom with shower and WC. The terrace is also on 2nd floor. The street is friendly and calm, yet very central to everything.

We are a French/British couple and live in the foothills of the Pyrenees. My husband is a sculptor. We have four grown-up children and six small grandchildren. We love the outdoors and the good simple pleasures of Life .
