The departmental council also calls it 'Cathar Country' (French: Pays cathare) after a group of religious dissidents active in the 12th century.<br /><br />Its prefecture is Carcassonne and its subprefectures are Limoux and Narbonne. As of 2016, it had a population of 368,025. Aude is a frequent feminine French given name in Francophone countries, deriving initially from Aude or Oda, a wife of Bertrand, Duke of Aquitaine, and mother of Eudo, brother of Saint Hubertus. Aude was the name of Roland’s fiancée in the chansons de geste.<br /><br />Each natural region of the Aude has its own particular landscape. In the east, lagoons or coastal lakes form a barrier between land and sea. These were formed by accumulated sediments brought down by the rivers Aude, Orb and Hérault. There are many such lakes of brackish water. This environment is demanding for flora and fauna, as it suffers from the rigours of sea, sun, dryness and floods. Halophile (i.e., salt-loving) plants grow there. The area is also noted for the pink flamingo and white stilt.<br /><br />Inland to the east, shrub and scrub dominate the landscape of the drylands of the Aude and Corbières. This landscape is the result of forest clearance and was maintained by the raising of livestock. The flora is varied and typical with many species of orchids. The Sault countryside is dominated by beech groves and fir plantations up to the mountains. These forests are known for their mushrooms and have a rich flora and fauna, including the Pyrenean lily, the euproctis moth and horsetail of the woods.<br /><br />To the north and west, the Black Mountain country is made up of forests of oak and beech. The Lauragais is a wooded landscape where grain farming has shaped the hills. There are bodies of water like the Lac de la Ganguise. Finally, the high valley of the Aude, otherwise called the Razès, consists of a riparian forest made of beech, alder, poplar or ash. It includes some peatlands that are very rare in southern France.<br /><br />Main Features<br /><br />• 167m2<br />• 85 land plot<br />• 3 Bedrooms<br />• 2 Bathrooms<br />• Massive potential in the holiday rental market<br />• Stunning views<br />• Street Parking<br />• Close to essential amenities like such as supermarkets and pharmacies<br />• Close to many excellent bars and restaurants<br />• Great base from which to discover other fantastic areas of France<br />• Many excellent sports facilities, fishing, walking and cycling areas near by<br /><br />Contact us today to buy or sell your property overseas in France.
