Domaine de La Vène, our exquisite private domaine in Southwest France, set amongst acres of breathtaking unspoilt Mediterranean landscape. Accommodating up to twenty two guests in eleven beautifully appointed bedrooms across the main house and adjoining cottage, our domaine makes the ideal setting for relaxing getaways. Perfect for all seasons - stunning in the spring and summer sunshine, breathtaking when cloaked in autumnal colours with vines turning various shades of orange and red, and welcoming in the winter months with three fireplaces and coat rooms to retreat to after wintery walks around the grounds. Get in touch today to book your stay! 📸 @simonhird #villaholiday #frenchholiday #visitfrance #carcassonne #southernfrance

When the pastry run is a beautiful drive down the mountain roads into our nearest village, you’ll all be wanting to do it! Then come back and enjoy breakfast in the garden. Perfect way to start the day! 📸 @simonhird #visitfrance #villaholiday #carcassonne

Our surrounding countryside is a fauna and flora conservation zone, with the habitat surrounding the estate being mainly a mixture of garrigue and coniferous pine forest. The limestone chalky soils also produce an outstanding environment for unique flora, with many species of rare wild orchids present on the estate. The area is also truly remarkable for bird watching, and we make every effort to attract as many species as possible. We encourage ecologists to carry out their research on the domaine and, with their help, we monitor the number of birds. 📸 @simonhird

May at the Domaine. The lavender is starting to bloom, the evenings are warm enough to eat outside, and the pool is inviting. There are few better times to be here. A few dates remain this summer. Details via the link in bio ↗ — Photography by @simonhird #FrenchCountryside #Languedoc #Pyrenees

There are very few places in the south of France where you can get married in an authentic family home. The Domaine has been James' family home for over twenty years. For your wedding, it's entirely yours. A few dates remain for 2026 and 2027. Enquiries via the link in bio ↗ — Photography by @simonhird #FranceWedding #ExclusiveHire #SouthOfFrance

The village of Palaja is a five-minute drive from the Domaine, and the boulangerie opens early. When model Lara Stone stayed here, she made it her morning routine - croissants and pains au chocolat, then back to the pool. We think that's about right. The full piece is well worth a read.

Some guests arrive with trainers packed and a route already planned. Others take it a little slower, once the pool has been enjoyed and the long lunches eaten. The roads, the hills, and the Corbières landscape are here either way. Enquire via the link in bio ↗ — Photography by @simonhird #Languedoc #FrenchCountryside #CyclingFrance

The long table seats sixteen. Enjoy cooking with fresh produce from the Carcassonne market, or arrange a private chef for the week. Either way, dinner at the Domaine tends to last longer than planned. Enquire via the link in bio ↗ — Photography by @simonhird #SouthernFrance #CulinaryFrance #ExclusiveUse

Meet James. He has spent many years filling the Domaine with antiques, inherited portraits, and wonderful wine recommendations. He knows everything from which table in Carcassonne to book and exactly why the thick stone walls keep the house cool in August. If you have a stay in mind, he has all the answers and is looking forward to welcoming you. Enquire via the link in bio ↗ — Photography by @simonhird #SouthernFrance #ExclusiveHire #Carcassonne

The Canal du Midi runs less than thirty minutes from the Domaine. Two hundred miles of UNESCO-listed waterway, lined with plane trees. We think it’s worth an afternoon, at least.
