Très bien situé ds le village magnifique avec d'excellents restaurants juste à côté belle randonnée à faire, vue splendide sur l'étang Un séjour très réussi, merci Nadia

If you are looking to slow down your pace of life and just relax, this is a gorgeous place to do so! The house is a great combination of old charm and modern conveniences. The owners have been very thoughtful with stocking the house with everything you may possibly need. There is plenty of space for multiple couples or families with kids. The terrace on the top level is pure joy and beauty. The village is lovely and lively. You can walk out the front door for drinks or a meal. You might hear music until 11:00 at night, but it is what makes the village vibrant. We hiked from town and also rented bikes from the nearby town of Peyriac de Mer. Both experiences were great - we even spotted the famous flamingos! Nadia was so helpful, rebooking our stay twice as we waited for green lights with Covid. She checked in with us on arrival too. Good people! We loved our stay in Bages! Great house, sweet town, peaceful area, and wonderful hosts! Enjoy!

La maison est située dans un petit village, sur une place (très jolie) avec 2 petits restaurants et un petite épicerie et une fontaine. La vue est superbe. La maison est très bien équipée, et joliment restaurée. Ménage très bien fait. La région est très belle, étangs, mer, abbaye, vignobles... Nous y reviendrons.

Parfaitement située et au calme. Tout est réuni pour passer des bonnes vacances.

Auch Anfang März mit wechselhaftem Wetter hat sich der Aufenthalt in Bages sehr gelohnt! Das Haus war warm und gemütlich, durch die stilvolle Einrichtung, perfekte Ausstattung und den herrlichen Blick auf den Dorfplatz und das Meer wurde es ein wunderbar erholsamer Urlaub. Der Ort, die Umgebung, die Natur sind einzigartig und sehr authentisch. Und das Frühstück bei Morgensonne auf der Dachterrasse mit Blick auf die Lagune einfach herrlich! Sehr empfehlenswert!!!

Une maison agréable au calme alliant le charme d’un petit village et non loin des étangs et chemins de randonnée. En famille ou entre amis une bonne adresse pour se ressourcer.

Wir haben bereits zum zweiten Mal dieses wunderschöne Haus gebucht, und wieder waren wir begeistert von seiner Lage inmitten des charmanten Fischerdorfs, von der wohnlichen und geschmackvollen Einrichtung und vor allem von der Dachterrasse mit fantastischer Aussicht auf die Lagune. Wir sind sicher, dass wir nicht zum letzten Mal da waren! Vielen Dank Nadia und Mark! Ursula W.

Dieses großzügige und äußerst geschmackvoll eingerichtete Ferienhaus ist ideal für Menschen, die typisch französisches Flair lieben. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der Balkon mit Blick auf den Etang. Das Haus liegt zentral in einem wunderschönen traditionellen Dorf. Auch abends ist dort noch eine angenehme, belebte Atmosphäre. Ein traumhaftes Ferienhaus.

Totally randomly rented this location as did not have much time for the research and it was the first result appearing in the research. Nevertheless of the fact that location is rather far from the sea : Gruissan plage 30 min by car , Leucate plage 35-40 min by car we enjoyed it 100 proc. It made us discover something new, very cosy, local, original. Loved it. Just a small note to put wd40 on the doors of the bedrooms. Some locks on the bathrooms would be nice as well.

Merci à Nadia , très jolie maison . Bien équipée et joliment décorée .

Nous avons passé un séjour de rêves dans la maison de Nadia. La communication avec Nadia a été parfaite et très chaleureuse. La maison est très belle et dégage une belle sérénité , on s'y sent tellement bien ... L'emplacement sur la place est certainement le meilleur de Bages, et la vue en haut est merveilleuse ! Merci Nadia , nous reviendrons, c'est sur !

Belle maison agréable, bien située, on s'y sent comme à la maison ! Penser juste à réparer la porte fenêtre de la terrasse et à remettre les lampes grillées dans la pièce de vie, sinon très bon séjour !

Très agréable maison de village pleine de charme. Tout confort, idéalement placée près de l'étang. Promenade à vélo (tour de l'étang - 50 km - incontournable), plus belles promenades à pieds et nombreuses visites alentours. Un très agréable séjour.

Geweldige woning in een oud pand met 3 verdiepingen in het rustieke dorp Bages. Gelegen aan een pleintje met 2 restaurant en een fontijn. Op de 3e verdieping een prachtig terras met uitzicht op het meer. Een zeer complete keuken, 2 badkamers en 3 slaapkamers. Het (enige) winkeltje, behorende bij één van de restaurants was niet alle dagen open. Wij haalden s'ochtends brood bij de bakker in het naastgelegen dorp Peyriac-de-Mer. Een mooie route met veel flamingo's onderweg. Wij hebben enorm genoten, een week was tekort en zijn zeker van plan terug te komen. Als je slecht ter been bent is het dorp en het huis niet zo'n goede keuze.

Das Haus und die Lage ist wie beschrieben - einfach klasse! Unkomplizierter netter Kontakt mit den Vermietern und Haushälterin. .... und wunderbar ist das oberste Zimmer mit der wunderschönen Aussicht, an die ich mich immer gerne zurückerinnern werde. DANKESCHÖN!

Cette superbe maison bénéficient d'un panorama exceptionnel sur l'étang de Bages/Sigean grâce à sa très belle terrasse. Les importants volumes de chacune des pièces et les équipements permettent à 6 adultes de passer un séjour des plus confortable.

Très belle maison au centre d’un petit village protégé en bordure d’étang

Wir (4 Erwachsene) haben den Aufenthalt im sehr liebevoll eingerichteten Haus sehr genossen. Es fehlte an nichts, die Küche topp ausgerüstet. Die Terrasse mit Blick über den Etang - traumhaft. Wir würden wiederkommen, allerdings eher im September, das Meer schon rauh, die Strände leer, für Sightseeing in der näheren und weiteren Umgegend wars aber perfekt. Empfehlenswert!

Amazing renovated character home in the best location in Bages..just steps down onto the small central plaza complete with a restaurant and epicierie from which we availed ourselves of fresh bread and croissants each morning. Well appointed with modern appliances ( huge fridge, dishwasher) and more than ample dishes and cutlery. Immaculate condition and pristine. Huge bathroom on second floor with tub and shower. All needs have been anticipated to facilitate a worry free stay. Communication with owners and prompt responses to all questions and concerns was greatly appreciated and...in ENGLISH ...seamless. We thoroughly enjoyed the large terrace on the top floor, with its sunny exposure until about 3 p.m. and the protection from the wind as well. A great place to enjoy the french wines. Our favorite restaurant was located in Peyriac de Mer, ...10 minutes by car. Would suggest making reservations....extremely busy place even in October. Location near beautiful Narbonne is also a definite asset ...only 20 minutes to the lovely centre ville, train station and huge market, Les Halles. Only “downside” is the necessity of utilizing a vehicle to experience this idyllic little piece of heaven ....and the outlying surroundings for day trips. Thank you for sharing your home, Mark and Nadia, Your explanations and descriptions were extremely accurate ...so ....absolutely no disappointments....just sheer joy and anticipation of a future stay.

We loved being in this lovely village. The house, the view from the terrace, the birds, the friendly bric a brac wine bar, eating the freshest possible oysters under the shade of olive trees. The lagoon. We have already booked to come back next year.

We spent a wonderful holiday in this beautiful, spacious house, perfectly located on the square in Bages. Lovely local restaurants and amenities.( car advisable) Perfect location for walking/ cycling and exploring Languedoc- Roussillon. We walked most mornings to see the flamingoes and other bird life. Special feature of house is the roof terrace overlooking the square and lagoon. Highly recommended. Lynda

Dear Nadia, dear Mark, yesterday in the morning we had to leave your wonderful house in pittoresque Bages. We spent three relaxing weeks there, and enjoyed the people in the village, the landscape, the wineries, the Katharer´castles , Abbaye Fontfroide and much more very much. In particular we have often and with pleasure bought food in Les halles, prepared it in your well-equipped kitchen and then ate it on the terrace. Oh, that view ! The weekly concerts at Place Juin were entertaining, and the party went on into the early morning every time. You just have to join in! Les Beaux Arts were closed, no one told us why, but Les Jardins de Bages was great and unique in its concept, épicerie, bar and restaurant. We have eaten with friends for one time in Le Portanel, a real recommenation for those who like fish. We were also in Le Nautique, a great atmosphere and proper food. If we were in the village we had our evening apéro at Jérome the broccante and winebar owner, here we got to know most of the people of the village. Wine always connects ! After all, we often enjoyed riding the bikes to Peyriac, Plages de Doul, Chateau d´Ille, down at the Étang or up through the hills. Once we had a Bicycle tube in the hose, we replaced it after we bought a new one at Décathlon. The tours have always brought a lot of joy. In everything, it was a wonderful time. Kind regards, Peter und Caroline

Vom ersten Augenblick an haben wir uns in diesem schönen Haus sehr wohlgefühlt: Großzügige, schön eingerichtete Räume, alles sauber und auf dem Esstisch eine gute Flasche Rotwein zum Empfang! Ein ganz besonderer Höhepunkt war die tolle Dachterrasse mit herrlichem Blick über den malerischen Ort Bages und die Lagune. Dort konnten wir uns bei (fast) jedem Wetter aufhalten. Besonders gefallen hat uns auch der charmante, sehr französische Dorfplatz mit Epicerie, Café und Restaurant direkt vor der Haustüre. Vielen Dank, Nadia und Mark, für den schönen Urlaub. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Belle et grande maison. Que de belles balade dans et autour de Bages! Nous nous sentions privilégiés. C'est pas beau ça? Merci...

This is a beautiful house in a friendly, quiet, traditional French village. It feels as though you are in the middle of nowhere but within a 10 minute drive you have any convenience you could possibly require on the outskirts of Narbonne. The bedrooms are well appointed with comfy beds and beautiful linen. The kitchen has all you could need to cook interesting finds at Les Halles in Narbonne. The terrace looks out over beautiful views and the village square. Really lovely. The Bagois people are friendly and welcoming, even when you’re inadvertently driving the wrong way up their one way street! Highly recommended.

Das Haus in der Mitte vom kleinen Fischerdörfchen ist wirklich toll. Vor allem der grosse Raum im Dach. Leider meinte es das Wetter nicht so gut mit uns. So brachen wir unsere Ferien früher als geplant ab.

Das war eine wunderbare Woche, die wir in Bages verbracht haben. Das Haus ist toll gelegen, direkt neben einem Café und einer Epicerie, was das Leben sehr angenehm macht. Das Haus ist sehr geräumig und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Es ist alles da, was man braucht. Die Vermieter sind sehr nett, was uns beim etwas schwierigen Buchungsprozess sehr geholfen hat. Und das Land der Katharer ist natürlich sowieso ein besonderes Urlaubsziel.

The property was a lovely traditional French house and very nicely furnished and equipped however it overlooked the main square of the village which supported a popular restaurant. This we were not told in the details until we got there which advised you might like to join in the music evening on Thursday and book table as it goes on till 11. This was the worst night with noise till 2 am! The general noise from the restaurant might be considered ok by some and the music concert welcomed as it was a friendly restaurant but we wanted peace and quiet on holiday and if we had known would not have booked. Two nights we also had someone in the other restaurant (currently closed) cleaning his furniture with ahouse pipe about 3 am. All in all we didn’t get much sleep in the week with only 2 quiet nights.

We spent two weeks in Bages. The house is wonderful with a unique charme. On the technical side, all worked very well. Our hosts were absolutely helpful and efficient. Esther & Henning with two kids.

This is a really smart conversion of a very old house in the centre of the village. It’s next to two of the three village eating places, one of which doubles as a small grocery. We used all three. They’re very different but all have something to offer. We loved the house which is spacious and well equipped. There is a huge master bathroom and all three bedrooms have lots of storage space. The third floor lounge is large and there is a small open terrace which we used extensively. The cooking facilities are excellent and converted me to induction. Parking in the village is restricted and you have to park a short walk from the house. Narbonne is 10-15 minutes away. We used the splendid daily market at Les Halles for most food and there are several accessible hypermarkets. Narbonne is an interesting town with Roman and Medieval sites and the Canal Robine running through the middle and lots of good eating. We’ve been in the area many times and revisited various places by car and train from Narbonne. Bages itself is an old village with lots of lived in charm. The locality pleased us with the wildlife in the Etang and the visually striking walks. However what we enjoyed most was having family members and friends staying for some of the time, entertaining them and traveling around the area. The house and its location were perfect for this. We all loved the place and were in a consistently self-congratulatory mood at having found it. It was all helped by the friendly and informative efficiency of Nadia, the owner who could not have been more supportive. All in all it made for as successful a rental as we have had in forty years of holidaying and I’d recommend it unreservedly.

We arrived in Bages 9pm Saturday night and managed to get a table at the smaller restaurant in the square - Les Beaux Arts ignored our requests to book a table by phone/facebook/email!! The house is great, with everything you would need for a stay, including beach towels to borrow, all the kitchen essentials, DVDs and games, internet and above all - plenty of space. 3 great double bedrooms (2 with kingsize beds and one set up as a twin bed. 2 bathrooms, 3 toilets. The top floor "sun-room" is great too - it opens out onto a terrace which overlooks the square and has great views over the rooftops to the lagoon. Bages itself is a quiet village - 3 restaurants with mixed opening days/times - a small shop within one of the restaurants - only a couple of galleries to spend your money at. The speciality of the area is eels and you could go wild and have a full "eel-fest" at La Portanel reataurant with every course being eels in one form or another. We had lots of seafood, with the Dorado Royale my favourite (sea bream in other words), and if you can catch the fisherman down by the dock in Bages, then you can buy them fresh everyday but Sunday. Just down the road (3 mile walk/drive) from Bages is Peyriac de Mer, where you can find a few shops and a Tapas bar and a restaurant. Nearby beaches are of the wide open, flat sand variety, with Gruissan Plage the best of the bunch especially if you have kids as the water is shallow for quite a long way out. We visited Narbonne (20 mins away), and enjoyed the food hall and the river. We went to Carcassonne (1 hour away) and loved the Old City, which for some strange reason is decorated in yellow stripes at the moment? We travelled down the coast towards Spain for an hour to get to Collioure which is a lovely little arty village around a fortified harbour. We also went into the hills to visit the gorge town of Minerve, and walk up the gorge then moved onto La Grasse for ice-cream and drinks and a visit to the Vinegar shop - you can taste them all if that floats your boat? We also enjoyed a trip to Fontfroid Abbey - beautiful wines and walks around the grounds. We flew into Beziers airport which is the nearest to Bages and I nervously drove a brand new car through the Peages, numerous roundabouts and the narrow streets of Bages. I deserved the beer I had when we arrived!!! You will love the house in the square in Bages, you will have to visit to see if you love Bages and the are too.
