    Signature Dish

    A slice of summer
    A slice of summer, is a dish I have fallen into doing, where I prepare different vegetables in layers in a dish, the flavours are retained, and it is always popular. I always cook using homegrown vegetables. And locally sourced meats. I also use a lot of fish. I present my meals in the french style, and if people have special dietary needs, I take great care to cater imaginatively for them.

    • Vegetarian

    Additional food services

    • 2 course dinner

    • 5 course banquet

    • Carcassonne

    • Distance to city: 35 miles

    • Directions to property:
      From Carcassonne airport- At moderate speed this total journey takes about one hour to my Domaine.- On leaving Carcassonne airport (Salveza) turn right.- Follow directions for Montreal.- This takes you away immediately from Carcassonne. Through typically French countryside. Continue.- After Montreal head towards Fanjeaux, and then Mirepoix. This is the most beautiful and scenic drive. Don`t go too fast. Appreciate the scenery as each new view unfolds before you. Don`t be in a hurry.- From Mirepoix follow directions towards Pamiers.- This road passes through several villages; Besset, Coutens, Tourtrol, Rieucros.- After Rieucros turn left following signs for Vira and Dun. Pass through Vira and about 2 miles further turn right signposted Engravies. - Enter village of Engravies over bridge, reduce speed to dead slow(remember you are entering a time warp) continue 100meters turn left at house with green shutters. This narrow lane leads to Domain Thomson.

    Airport

    • Toulouse, France (TLS-Blagnac) 50 miles

    • Directions to property:
      - This route to Domaine Thomson takes about one hour and a quarter travelling at moderate speed.- On leaving the airport follow signs for Toulouse, then once onto the main road (Periferique) follow signs for Montpelier.- Continue along the Periferique, don`t be alarmed if for a while there are no signs for Montpelier, just continue.- At the start of the Autoroute for Montpelier, Carcassonne, and Barcelona, it is also sign-posted to Foix and Andorra. You need to take a ticket, it is a fee paying motorway, then when you leave you pay. - After going along this for some kilometres you branch off the autoroute following the signs for Pamiers, Foix, and Andorra.- Continue until Pamiers. On the way you pass an interesting windmill – very much in style of Don Quixote – it has six sails.- At end of autoroute place ticket into machine. It will cost Euros 4.40 or Euros 5 depending on time of day.- From here you are looking for signs for Mirepoix.- Continue till second exit for Pamiers. You will pass a commercial estate with a giant Carrefour (supermarche) clearly visible from the carriageway. Take this exit sign-posted for Mirepoix. It is a tight turn.- At roundabout take first exit direction Mirepoix.-Continue and pass through Les Pujols.- Take the second sign on the right after this to Vira and Dun. This comes very quickly after a turn-off towards Les Issards.- Follow road through Vira and continue 2 miles.- Turn right direction Engravies.- Enter Engravies over bridge and reduce speed to dead slow (remember you are entering a time warp).- Continue 100 meters and at house with green shutters turn left at narrow lane. This leads to guesthouse.
