Frequently Asked Questions
Do we need to bring towels? - No we provide indoor and pool towels for all the guests booked into the cottage.
Is parking available outside the cottage? - Not directly outside, as the cottages are on a narrow street too small for cars. There is plenty of parking in the communal parking at the edge of the village a couple of minutes walk from your door.
I can't find a booking form on your website, how do I make a booking? - Just email or call me with your address, and I will confirm availability with you, and post a booking form out to you at home.
Could you tell me how much a particular week costs? - See our availability page, or email.
I'd like to book for a month or longer is this possible? - Reduced rates are offered for stays by the month in the winter months (October to April). This is ideal for those on sabbatical, or similar projects. Please contact us to discuss your plans.
Is there a stereo in the cottage? - We have just added a little stereo to each cottage.

Booklet: Brissac and its Medieval Seigneurs
The remote hill village of Brissac in the Languedoc region of Southern France, once the heartland of the troubadour civilization, is dominated by a castle dating to the eleventh century. (Not to be confused with the younger and far grander Château de Brissac in the Loire Valley, home of the thirteenth Duc de Brissac — this is just a coincidence of names.) The family which built the Brissac Castle in Languedoc, cousins of the Emperor Charlemagne, founded one of the chief cities of the South of France. Throughout the Middle Ages they were to play a leading role in the turbulent history of the region. This 36-page booklet surveys the mediaeval history of Brissac and its masters (and mistresses), from its links with the Holy Grail legend, to the wars over Cathar heresy which led to the downfall of the Languedoc as an independent civilization, and beyond.
