<\/p>

Nestled on the edge of the spectacular Narbonnaise en Mediterran\u00e9e National Park, surrounded by rocky gorges and rivers, lies this idyllically placed property. Villa Ripaud was originally built in early 1900 as a Railway station\/Auberge for the old railway linking the coast to Narbonne via the vineyards and wineries in the Corbieres. It is now a family home and accommodation for holidays and residential courses. Situated on the Route des vins and Chemin des Cathars, it\u2019s perfectly placed to enjoy the rugged natural beauty of the countryside. Wine, castles, breathtaking scenery, wild swimming on the doorstep and the vibrant city of Narbonne and beautiful Mediterranean beaches are just a 25 minute drive.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
