Description for B&B:
This particular mansion features four extremely spacious guestrooms, each uniquely designed with their own private shower rooms and stunning views perfect for painting. Once the residence of the Duke de Lévis-Mirepoix, the house exudes charm and character, highlighted by a magnificent gallery adorned with stained glass windows, rococo plaster, and decorative tiles. Located in the charming bastide village of Léran, dating back to the 13th century, the village's skyline is dominated by the imposing chateau of the dukes. At Le Castelou, guests can partake in art and film-making activities, with a variety of courses available for all skill levels, along with painting easels, studios, and digital media facilities. The design of our four bedrooms aims to create a sense of spaciousness while emphasizing appreciation for the shapes and angles within the rooms. Le Belvédère features a staircase leading to its own private balcony, offering a breathtaking panoramic view, making it an ideal spot to enjoy an aperitif while admiring the architectural beauty of the Chateau, the picturesque church of Léran, or the majestic Pyrenees mountains. La Belle Pyrène is a spacious room with handsome views of the Pyrenees, allowing for an abundance of warm atmospheric light in the afternoons and evenings. Even the ensuite shower room provides a delightful view over the village rooftops to the Pyrenees. La Suite Léran consists of two adjoining bedrooms, one with a double bed and the other with a single bed, providing flexibility and space for couples, families, or friends. The suite also includes a private shower room and overlooks Cours St Jacques, a part of the ancient pilgrimage route along the Pyrenees from France to Spain known as the Camino Santiago de Campostella. La Suite Castelou is a grand-sized room with its own salon area, en-suite shower room, and separate private WC. Spanning over 50 square meters (550 square feet), this suite is perfect for those who appreciate ample space. The windows, situated at tree-top level, offer splendid views of Cours St Jacques and the Pyrenees.Reviews

Directions
To get to Mirepoix from Blagnac/Toulouse, take the A61 on the peripherique and follow the signs for Carcassonne, Barcelona, and FOIX PEAGE (not Foix RN 20). Once on the A61, after passing the toll booth, look for the A66 fork in the direction of Andorra. At the next toll booth, merge onto the N20 towards Foix. Take exit 6 towards Mirepoix and Lavelanet. Join the D119 towards Mirepoix (first exit on the right at the roundabout), and continue through Les Pujols, Rieucros, Coutens, and Besset until you reach Mirepoix. At the first roundabout on the outskirts of Mirepoix, go straight. At the second roundabout, turn right onto the D625 towards Lavelanet.
From Carcassonne, follow the D119 towards Mirepoix. Continue through Montréal and Fanjeaux towards Mirepoix. After crossing the bridge, follow the signs for "toutes directions." At the second set of traffic lights, turn left and then go straight at the roundabout onto the D625 towards Lavelanet.
Pass through the village of La Bastide de Bousignac before reaching Aigues-Vives (approximately 8 minutes). When you see the sign for Aigues-Vives, slow down and indicate left because the left turn to Léran is hidden behind some buildings on the left side of the road. This is the only sign for Léran. The road (D28) will take you directly to the village, about a 4-minute drive.
After passing the church, turn right into Cours St Jacques. The mairie/school will be on the left. Le Castelou is the next building on the left at number 8 Cours St Jacques, just after the little crossroads. The house is pale yellow with white outlines around the windows.
