Beautiful day for a local stroll in 15 + degrees sunshine. Sprinkling of snow visible on the highest peaks, butterflies still numerous, a large hare spooked as we walked past it and birds everywhere feasting on a bumper crop of hedgerow berries. Bon weekend a tous.

After a couple of extremely wet days earlier in the week, the sun is now making up for lost time and the high peaks have a decent coating of snow. Some great views to be had of the Pyrenees and the Ariège landscape on this morning's walk around Belpech just over the border in Aude. Also found confirmation of something that has had me wondering for some time, that there was a tramway for transporting local produce to the main line at Castelnaudary. Will investigate further!

Some incredible wildlife within the gardens here and locally at the moment. Our resident Red Squirrels are busy stocking up on walnuts and yesterday we had some incredible views of European Rollers, Marsh Harriers, Black-shouldered Kites, a Short -toed Snake Eagle and a White Stork a few kilometres away. We have also had Honey Buzzards overhead and stopping briefly on their migration south.

Two stunning birds posing long enough to have their picture taken - a rare treat. The Golden Oriole (male) is one of the most striking birds we have here but is adept at evading the camera lens. This one was happily singing away for quite some time out in the open. The second bird is a Hobby taking advantage of a tall tree at the edge of our woods to pick its next hunting zone.

We still have some availability for July and August. If you fancy relaxing by the pool, enjoying the wildlife and colourful gardens or exploring the wonderful Ariege countryside, nearby Toulouse and much much more, please get in touch. www.roudeille.com

Great panoramic views of the Pyrenees this morning on one of our local walks.

Lovely paddle down the Hers river this afternoon. New business well deserving of support. Very organised, quality equipment, clear course and safety briefing. Looking forward to next season!

The beauty that is the Ariège Pyrenees.

It's a few years since we last visited this amazing underground experience, a short distance from Roudeille. It cannot be recommended highly enough. An incredible boat trip - on three levels - deep under the Ariège hills.

Just over an hour's drive north of Roudeille and at the western edge of the Montagne Noir, lies the oldest barrage in France, built between 1667 and 1672 to supply water for the Canal du Midi. Pleasant lakeside walk, picnic, ice cream (and water activities for those inclined) with impressive waterfalls and fontaine (La G***e).

Last few dates available in our gites for this summer including the beginning and end of July and early August. Special last-minute discounts for friends and those working in schools. If you fancy relaxing by the pool, surrounded by colourful gardens whilst being serenaded by birdsong, please get in touch.

Good walk - although not the one we set out to do as that was closed due to rock falls - but plenty of views and orchids, including Military and Butterfly (not sure if Greater or Lesser). Crazy bungee jumpers at the cave itself - but another activity to add to everything else this fabulous part of France has to offer!

Decided to make the most of the glorious weather before threatened thunderstorms arrive and attempt a new walk (for us). The Sentier des Demoiselles did not disappoint. Steep in parts but so worth the effort for the views, rock formations, orchids, gentians and other wild flowers, black kites, butterflies, including a very friendly Common Blue, red squirrel and newts in the local fontaines.

First Swallowtail of the year and what a beauty! Heard our first Hoopoe of the year in the garden yesterday, male Blackcap has been singing his heart out and we now have a pair of Little Owls so hoping they will nest and raise young. I do love this time of year.

29/03/2023

Spring has definitely sprung here in the Ariège - it is amazing what a bit of rain does for the garden. The incredible frog chorus has started with frogspawn and toadspawn in our two ponds, our resident Little Owl is calling and has just been joined by a Scops Owl (need to try and get a photo of this stunning but very elusive bird) and our friendly pheasants (one male with two females) regularly ignore the cats in our back garden, although if chicks arrive I think this will change!

Magical winter walk this afternoon in the foothills of the Pyrenees Ariegeoises just 50 minutes from Roudeille. Two very close encounters with Red Deer just added to a fabulous 7.5km trek. Stunning.

Happy New Year from the Ariège!
Incredible start to the year. Walking our local circuit from the house, we came across an amazing site - Australian Zebra Finches apparently happily coexisting with local sparrows and flitting about the trees. This place never ceases to amaze!
All good wishes for 2023.

First sharp frost of the season. Chilly (particularly as out wandering in my dressing gown and slippers - just as well we don't have any close neighbours!) but beautiful.
