| Esperaza is about a 30-40 minute drive from
Carcassonne and about 1 hour 10 minutes from Perpignan. 1 hour 45 minutes from
Girona. Driving south from Carcassonne on the Bis route to Perpignan you pass
through Limoux, Alet-les-Bains and Couiza. Immediately after Couiza there is a
right turn signposted Montazel and also Esperaza. Take this turn, go over the
bridge and turn left at the T junction. Drive 2km towards Esperaza. As you come
into the village there is a grocery store called Petit Casino on the left. The
House is 30 metres after on the right. Drive down the side street and you can
park in the garden. Coming north from the other direction you pass through Quillan
and then Campagne Sur Aude. 3km later you will see a left turn to Esperaza. Follow
signs to the dinosaur museum or Mairie. We are on a continuation of that street
heading towards Montazel. The House is on the left hand side about 500 metres
from the Mairie. | |
