L’Abbaye-Château Camon is a Benedictine abbey dating back to the 10^th century which dominates the beautiful little village of
 Camon, ten minutes from the medieval town of Mirepoix and 35 minutes from Carcassonne airport. This is one of the last wilderness
 regions in Europe, which is steeped in history of the Cathars and the knights’ templar with the majestic Pyrenees as a backdrop  This
 historic monument is now a extremely unique six-bedroom chambres d’hôte, with character in abundance.. 

 The large bedrooms are classically French with fat goose down duvets and cool cotton sheets. Peter and Katie’s aim is simple: genuine
 hospitality without fuss in sumptuous surroundings. The beautifully decorated bedrooms and baths have all the modern conveniences to
 pamper you on your stay with us.

 After a wonderful nights sleep, you'll be ready to indulge in our scrumptious breakfast that is by no means small.  Our delicious
 breakfast consists of fresh squeezed orange juice, fresh fruit salad, croissants and pains au chocolat, baguettes, honey, jams Spanish
 ham and local cheeses.  Breakfast is served from 08:30 to 11:00.

 Food is an important part of the experience here: local, seasonal and fresh food cooked simply with an emphasis on flavour and quality.
 If you will advise us the night before or the morning of the same night, we will prepare dinner for you. The most wonderful part about
 dinner [weather permitting] is to serve you out on the terrace by candlelight, overlooking the Pyrenees.  The view of the Pyrenees as
 shown on our home page, it is truly a moving experience.  Please notify us if you have any food allergies or intolerances prior to your
 arrival.

 We also cater private special occasion or business dinners [up to 30 people], set in an elegant and warm  and inviting atmosphere.  We
 have one menu [with three courses], to ensure that everything is fresh.  Our meals are not frilly or nouvelle, but simple, tasty and the
 best quality of fresh and seasonal foods locally grown that include some wonderful French cheeses.

 In the winter log fires burn in the salon, decorated with 18^th century canvasses depicting the four seasons, and in the summer meals
 are taken on the terrace overlooking the mountains or by the pool next to the 200 year-old magnolia tree. The cloistered garden, which
 was designed for prayer and reflection, is where you can enjoy utter tranquillity.  Enjoy the park and gardens, it's quite lovely to stroll
 about [or for daily jogging] with a feeling of total calmness and peace of mind.

 The abbaye-château is also available for exclusive use, so you can have the whole place to yourselves.
