Live it up in Limoux

The Languedoc’s Limoux produces some rather lovely sparkling white wine that was a forerunner to Champagne (thanks to the Benedictine monk Dom Perignon if popular myth is to be believed) The town’s carnival has been running since the Middle Ages. Confetti, masks and effigies feature in Mardi Gras celebrations during early March.

Here we pick a trio of sparkling properties in and around Limoux.

Surrounded by vineyards and fields of sunflowers, this Aude four-bedroom home sits on the edge of a village with stunning elevated views.

This four-bed property with a pool is a brilliant family home. Comes with garden, garage and pool.

This sweet stone built cottage has been beautifully renovated, is close to all amenities and is at a great price.
