This particular mansion features four spacious guestrooms, each uniquely designed with private shower rooms and stunning views that are perfect for painting. Previously the residence of the Duke de Lévis-Mirepoix, the house exudes charm and character, highlighted by a magnificent gallery adorned with stained glass windows, Rococo plaster, and decorative tiles. Léran, a delightful bastide village dating back to the 13th century, showcases the grand chateau of the dukes, which dominates the skyline. At Le Castelou, guests can engage in art and film-making activities, with a variety of courses available for all skill levels. The property provides painting easels, studios, and digital media facilities. The décor of our four bedrooms is meticulously designed to create a spacious ambiance while emphasizing the beauty of shapes and angles within the rooms. Le Belvédère offers a private balcony with a breathtaking panoramic view, perfect for enjoying an aperitif while admiring the architectural wonders of the Chateau, the picturesque church of Léran, or the magnificent Pyrenees mountains. La Belle Pyrène is a spacious room with magnificent views of the Pyrenees, allowing for an abundance of warm, atmospheric light during the afternoons and evenings. Even the ensuite shower room offers a delightful view over the village rooftops to the Pyrenees. La Suite Léran consists of two interconnected bedrooms, featuring double and single beds, providing ample space and flexibility for couples, families, or friends. This suite also offers a private shower room and overlooks Cours St Jacques, a section of the ancient pilgrimage route along the Pyrenees from France to Spain, known as the Camino Santiago de Compostela. La Suite Castelou is a generously sized room with its own salon area, ensuite shower room, and separate private WC. With over 50 m2 (550 sq ft) of space, this suite is perfect for those who appreciate room to stretch out.

Directions
To reach Mirepoix from Blagnac/Toulouse, take the A61 on the peripherique and follow the signs for Carcassonne, Barcelona, and FOIX PEAGE (not Foix RN 20). Once on the A61, continue past the pèage and look for the A66 fork in the direction of Andorra. At the next péage, the road merges with the N20 towards Foix. Take exit 6 towards Mirepoix and Lavelanet. Join the D119 towards Mirepoix (first exit on the right at the roundabout), passing through Les Pujols, Rieucros, Coutens, and Besset before reaching Mirepoix. Proceed straight at the first roundabout on the outskirts of the town. At the second roundabout, turn right onto the D625 towards Lavelanet.
From Carcassonne, follow the D119 towards Mirepoix. Continue through Montréal and Fanjeaux towards Mirepoix. After crossing the bridge, follow the signs for "toutes directions". At the second set of traffic lights, turn left and then go straight at the roundabout onto the D625 towards Lavelanet.
While passing through the village of La Bastide de Bousignac, you will eventually reach Aigues-Vives (approximately 8 minutes away). When you see the sign for Aigues-Vives, slow down and indicate left because the left turn to Léran is hidden behind some buildings on the left side of the road. This is the only sign for Léran. The road (D28) will lead you directly to the village, about a 4-minute drive.
After passing the church, turn right into cours St Jacques. The mairie/school will be on the left. Le Castelou, located at number 8 Cours St Jacques, is the next building on the left, just after the little crossroads. The house is pale yellow with white outlines around the windows.
