For buying and selling property in Belpech
Belpech is an ancient village situated in the south of France in the department of the Aude. It is also close to the border with the Ariège, and has easy access to both the Pyrénéan Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. Belpech has a long and rich history, and retains plenty of its interesting heritage to this day. The countryside surrounding the village is typically that of the Lauragais plain, with cereal crops and sunflower fields, backed by rolling hills.
Belpech has a good collection of small shops and even a supermarket, while access to many larger shops and commercial zones is just a matter of zipping a few miles along the road to the large town of Pamiers. However all the usual necessary services can also be found in Belpech, with a school, doctor's surgery, petrol station and cash point. Residents can dine out in the village's restaurant, which organises occasional entertainment as well. Belpech's heritage includes the ruins of the original castle keep, a Gallo Roman bridge and a mediaeval church.
Close to Belpech is the beautiful lake of Montbel, where there are lots of leisure activities available in, on or around the water. The Lauragais is famed for its cuisine of cassoulet and duck products, and if this takes your fancy, it is but a short drive into the town of Castelnaudary where you can taste the most authentic cassoulet in France… or so it is claimed!
