Self-catering Apartment to let in picturesque Cessenon-sur-Orb. By choosing to stay relive history as half the house, now known as the Breughel apartment, has 17th century origins as the Palais de Justice of Cessenon. The river Orb with all its attractions is at the end of the street!

Walk up the ancient stone steps until you reach the original studded wooden door (listed and therefore maintained by the mairie) of what was the 17th century palais de justice for the village of Cessenon. As you slowly open the door leaving the harsh sun of the Languedoc behind you feel the history as you step back in time. Another flight of internal stone steps take you up to the arched door of the apartment past the little internal courtyard (large enough to sit outside and enjoy a bar-b-que on a balmy summer eve). A little lobby takes you directly into the Breughel-esque kitchen with its huge open fireplace unchanged since the 17th century except newly painted in the traditional basque red.The kitchen allegedly had a hatch in the floor where food was thrown down to the prisoners below during its days as a courtroom! The kitchen accommodation offered is fairly basic as reflected in the very reasonable rates charged. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the utensils, crockery, cutlery, etc for preparing a simple meal. As well as the small gas cooker ther is brand new microwave with grilling facility. The courtyard has a bar-b-que. Beyond the kitchen are three bedrooms. The first (with double bed) is directly opposite the kitchen. The large family bathroom with bath-tub (with shower over) and bidet is off the little lobby before you enter the kitchen. There is a washing machine in the bathroom. Clothes can be hung out to dry in the little courtyard. The 2nd bedroom is along the corridor and can either have a double bed or twins (please specify at time of booking). The third bedroom which can either have a three qurter bed or two singles has its own brand new en-suite shower room (with w.c.). This unit is ideal for a family with 3 children or more. All bed linen and towels are also included in the price! The apartment has been described as very quaint and exudes historical charm......
