Set beside the Canal du Midi, À Côté de L'O offers a uniquely charming getaway in the historic hamlet of Le Somail. With its blend of traditional furnishings and generous open-plan living-dining area, this spacious home invites you to relax and reconnect in a characterful setting.

Inside, the house unfolds over two levels. Downstairs, a large open-plan living and dining area features air-conditioning and flows seamlessly to the well-equipped kitchen and al-fresco dining terrace beyond. Whether you're preparing a leisurely lunch or chatting over a glass of Languedoc wine, this versatile space is designed for laid-back comfort.

Two ground-floor bedrooms include one with an en-suite bathroom, while a separate family shower room serves the other. Upstairs, beneath the sloping eaves, a further two bedrooms and another full bathroom create ideal flexibility for families or groups of friends, allowing À Côté de L'O to sleep up to 8 guests.

Outside, the dining terrace sets the scene for long summer meals, while the courtyard garden is home to a private 8-metre swimming pool with sun terrace, perfect for lazy afternoons after a morning bike ride or local market visit. It's also great being right next door to a popular restaurant. 

Le Somail is one of the Canal du Midi’s most enchanting little villages/hamlets, known for its arched stone bridge, 17th-century charm and canal-side eateries. Everything you need is just a short stroll away: restaurants, cafés, a floating grocery store delivering croissants each morning and scenic walks, boat trips or bike rides along the water’s edge. A larger supermarket is just 1.5 km away, and day trips to Narbonne’s lively market or the medieval citadel of Carcassonne promise memorable outings.

À Côté de L'O is perfectly placed for exploring the Languedoc’s captivating landscapes. Whether you're seeking culture, coast, good wine or simply a relaxed and authentic stay in a bustling village setting, this canal-side holiday home offers it all.

  • There’s ample space across the large open-plan living-dining area and brilliantly-equipped kitchen
  • It’s fantastic to be so close to restaurants (including a popular one next door) and the village’s floating épicerie for daily fresh bread and groceries
  • Hire bikes or boats to explore the famous Canal du Midi
  • This is a superb base for exploring the wider Languedoc region from vineyards, wine villages and market towns to historic cities including Narbonne and Carcassonne

What you should know
