From Carcassonne you take the D118 to Limoux (20 km) next the D620 direction Chalabre, about 5 km before Chalabre turn to the left to “Route de Cretes”, then after 1,3 km turn right on the rural road. After 1,2 km you are at the farm, it is the 2nd house on this rural road.


BONUS
Do not see the donkey program as something that absolutly has to be done, remember the road of "have to" is the longest.

At 15 minutes by car is the beautifull lake of Montbel surrounded by mountains and forests, not yet discovered by mass tourism.
When the weather permits, we can go there.I can inflate an airbed and you can float like in paradise.

When it rains you can choose a book, yes in English.

The country is extremely beautifull, but one can still taste something of the disaster that happened 800 years ago, when pope Innocent the 3rd ordered the only crusade ever made on European soil.
The Cathars followers of an original Christianity plus the whole civilisation they lived in and with, were wiped out by North European warlords, who as compansation for there efforts were given their lands and goods.
If you are interested I can show you around.

You can also just come for a holiday, with your tent or in our house,with or without
renting a donkey.
