Ostal de la Placette

Charming gîte at the foot of a Cathar castle to discover authentic Aude

Padern is ideally situated for exploring the historical and natural wealth of the Corbières. Hiking enthusiasts will appreciate the many signposted trails winding through vineyards, hills and Cathar castles. The Château de Quéribus, Peyrepertuse, the abbeys of Lagrasse and Fontfroide are jewels of medieval history. The Verdouble waterfalls and the Gorges de Galamus are nearby whitewater swimming spots.

If you're a wine lover, you can visit the local wine cellars, which offer tastings of local wines, and discover the new generation of "natural" wines... Fancy spending a day by the Sea? The Mediterranean beaches (Leucate, Le Barcarès, Port-la-Nouvelle) are just an hour's drive away. Here you can enjoy water sports or simply relax. You'll enjoy the quiet streets of this authentic village. Just ten meters away, picnic tables await you for an open-air meal with a view of the surrounding countryside, and nearby, free public parking lots. You'll always find a place to park.
