Bed & Breakfast
Guests may choose between four rooms, each having its own bathroom and toilets. The guest wing has just been completely renovated and offers all comfort needed to insure a lovely stay.
Madame Gazelle
Madame Gazelles’s room bears the name of the owner who, nearly a century ago, created and planted the park’s paths. Its three windows, including that of the bathroom, open on the largest cascade, antique gingkos, and towards Summer’s end, a dense carpet of wild cyclamens.– Queen-size bed and possible extra single-bed ; private bathroom and toilets;
– 90 € per nignt in full season..
Monsieur Loup
Monsieur Loup’s room’s three windows look upon the two main cascades, part of the river Dure lined by buddleias, and the gigantic Douglas for which is one of the glories of La Forge. Aside from its private bathroom it has an open vestibule which makes it even more spacious.– King-size bed and possible extra single-bed ; private bathroom and toilets;
– 90 € per nignt in full season.
La Rivière
The River room, full of light, opens on the river Dure running along the East side of the house. On the other side is a “wild slope” where green oaks, ferns, a “lost” fruit tree rise, all contorted, between huge grey rocks eaten by moss.– Queen-size bed and possible extra single-bed ; private bathroom and toilets;
– 90 € per nignt in full season.
Le Héron Gris
The Grey Heron room has two twin-beds and, like the others, its own bathroom. The windows open also on the river where, eaarly in the morning, one can spot — sometimes — a couple of grey herons buzzy fishing methodically between rocks and giant ferns.– Two twin beds; private bathroom and toilets;
– 85 € per nignt in full season.
Included with the use of the guests rooms :
– A large living-room with books, DVDs, a DVD reader, USB Key, TV screen, family games, and a stove for cool evenings ;– A kitchenette allowing guests to prepare coffee, tea, or a baby’s bottle at their convenience ;
– Free access to Wifi 2 m.
Along with the above, the Forge offers:
The city of Carcassonne in 15 minutes; Toulouse in 1h 30m; Barcelone 3h; Albi 1h 33m; the beach 1h; Ski 1h;— Direct acces to the Pays Cathare and its history;
— The feeling of being completely isolated in nature — all while being 5m from the village of Montolieu with its 15 bookshops, 2 museums, artists, communal pool;
— A stay in a historical context linked to Napoleon and later industrialisation;
— Gardens and grounds now classified by the "Comite de Parcs et Jardins de France" with an amazing selection of trees and shrubs — some being the largest of Europe;
— The soothing sounds and refreshing properties of a river and three waterfalls;
— The growing notoriety of the Forge's fusion cuisine: with the possibility of lunch and dinner meals cooked with locally grown produce, meats and cheeses — all accented by herbs, flowers, and fruits from the garden and wines from one of the most flourishing wine regions of France.
With these changes, the Forge de Montolieu has attracted the attention of several labels and reservations have already started to happen. As always, it is always best to reserve early to ensure that we will have the pleasure of your company during the upcoming year. Finally, note that the Forge de Montolieu is one of the few B&B's that is open all year — thus one can discover the beauty of each season and its hidden secrets...
With hopes to meet you soon,
Charles and Laure Cowen
