Despite the rural calm, Roubichoux, situated in the commune of Sonnac-sur-L’Hers, is not islolated from good facilities. The shops, cafés & restaurants of Chalabre & Mirepoix (historic bastide with superb market in its arcaded square) are within 20 minutes drive (and what a pleasure to drive these quiet country roads through picturesque countryside !). The castles of Montsegur & Puivert, & other places associated with the tragic history of the Cathar martyrs, are nearby – and in 40 minutes one can see Foix and the prehistoric cave-paintings of Niaulx. The chateau of nearby Chalabre organizes family days, a mixture of pageant, arts & crafts and good fun. The walled city of Carcassonne is about 50 minutes drive & Toulouse just over an hour --- so access is easy from their airports. 90 minutes drive takes you to Andorra and the Mediterranean --in opposite directions, of course !
