L'Abbaye-Chateau de Camon - Midi-Pyrenees, France
About this Chic Retreat
L'Abbaye-Château de Camon is an elegant and luxurious chambres d'hotes in France's Languedoc region. Owned and run by Katie and Peter Lawton (former General Manager of The Samling) this wonderful Château dates back to the 10th-century and is less than 10 minutes away from the medieval town of Mirepoix. Camon itself is known as the little Carcassonne and is a beautiful and ancient fortified village.
Accommodation
There is a choice of 15 beautifully and individually decorated rooms & suites at L'Abbaye-Château de Camon. Guests can expect fresh flowers, crisp bedlinen and antiques throughout. The large bedrooms are classically French with fat goose down duvets and cool cotton sheets. Peter and Katie's aim is simple: genuine hospitality without fuss in sumptuous surroundings. Twin rooms are also available and small dogs are accepted by prior arrangement for a small additional cost.

The cloistered garden, which was designed for prayer and reflection, is where you can enjoy utter tranquillity.
