The house has a patio at the front, which is entered through the white picket gate. Not far from the house is the private parking space for guests at Liberte. The patio is furnished with quality outdoor furniture, sun loungers and sun umbrella, and has a built in BBQ for outdoor cooking. To the side of the terrace is the summer kitchen, with four ring electric cooker, sink, washing machine, iron and ironing board, and large fridge/freezer. Behind the summer kitchen is a small patio, where you can dry laundry or hide away. The summer kitchen is also useful for storing bicycles and surfboards.

Inside the house the main space is the living area, which is comfortably furnished with a sofa (which can convert into a double bed), round dining table and chairs, bookcase and sideboard. The kitchenette on one side is very well equipped with a full size electric cooker and oven, microwave oven, electric coffee maker and kettle, fridge, toaster and all necessary utensils and crockery. In the living area you will also find a television with satellite receiver, and a DVD player (which also plays audio CDs).

On the ground floor is also a bedroom with double bed (1.6mt) and built in closet. A separate WC and a bathroom with shower cabin and wash hand basin complete the ground floor.

On the mezzanine above the living room are two single beds, a built in closet and a small dressing table. Curtains provide a means of separating the mezzanine from the living area, giving extra privacy to those sleeping there.

Both bedrooms are equipped with fans for the summer months. The house is also equipped with an iron, ironing board and hairdryer.

LES AYGUADES AND SURROUNDING AREA

Les Ayguades is a thriving beach resort on the edge of the nature reserve of LaClape . Here you will find everything within easy reach, to make your holiday enjoyable. Just a few yards from the house is a communal swimming pool (open from beginning of June to end September), for the use of guests in this part of the complex. A little further away are the beach and the lagoon, where you can swim to your hearts content, or bronze in the sun. Wind-surfing, sand-yachting, go-carting, horse riding and fishing are activities which can be enjoyed nearby and the picturesque fishing village of Gruissan is less than five minutes' drive away.

Numerous shops such as grocery store, newsagent, bakery, launderette, butcher, bars and restaurants, are only a short walk away. About half a mile from the house is a wind surfing school, where you can also hire sail boats as well as surfboards. Cycling tracks take you to either Gruissan (10 minutes) or Narbonne Plage (20 minutes), along a tarmaced route. From Les Ayguades there is a regular bus service to Narbonne and beyond.

The "massif de la Clape" is a dedicated nature reserve, where you can explore nature and go for wonderful walks. The Clape area is also famous for it's wines, which you can taste and buy directly at the cellars of the growers. Nearby Gruissan is an interesting village, a "circulade", built on a concentric pattern around the ruined tower atop of the hill. Excellent fresh fish can be bought here and a lot of the restaurants around the port specialise in fish cookery. The salt pans, where sea salt is produced are also well worth a visit. A little further away is Narbonne, with it's impressive unfinished cathedral, the old archbishop's palace and archaeological reminders of the towns history during Roman times.
