Can I book a specific room?
Yes. On our Rooms page, each room has its own “Book” button: you choose exactly the room you want, subject to availability.
Do you offer a rate for longer stays?
Yes: 10% off accommodation for 3 nights or more, even in high season, for every booking made on our website. The discount is applied automatically.
Can I cancel my booking?
Yes, cancellation is free up to 14 days before your planned arrival date.
Do you accept ANCV holiday vouchers (chèques-vacances)?

What is included in every room?
Breakfast (when you book direct), Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a private shower room and WC, comfortable bedding, shower gel and shampoo, a hairdryer and toiletries.

Yes: an iron and ironing board are available on request at reception, and you can use our washing machine (price on request).
Can we eat in the room?
Please don’t eat in your room. The dining room and lounge are there for you, that’s what they are for!

Because of allergies, we are unfortunately unable to accept pets, even small ones.

Breakfast & picnic
Is breakfast included? What if I have a food intolerance?
Yes, breakfast is included for every direct booking. It is served every day from 8:30 to 10:00 am as a sweet and savoury buffet.
Gluten-free or lactose-free? Let us know when you book, or at least 24 hours before you arrive, and we will prepare what you need.
Can we have breakfast earlier?
Yes, on request, from 8 am: perfect for being at the Réserve Africaine when it opens. Just let us know the day before.
Can you prepare a picnic for us?
With pleasure! Our “La Réserve” picnic includes a sandwich, a piece of fruit and a drink, for €9.50. Order it when you arrive at the latest.
05
Getting here & parking
Where can I park my car?
Parking is free in the village streets. The most convenient is the town hall square, 50 m from the house. Be careful: it is closed on Tuesday and Friday mornings for the market (cars are towed away), so avoid it on Monday and Thursday evenings. Sigean’s main street and the car park at the bottom of rue Nationale are good alternatives.
A little tip: we are in the medieval centre, where the streets are narrow. If you have a large car, drop your luggage at the door and then park a little further away. All the details in our FAQ.
Can I charge my electric car?
Yes, there are two Révéo charging points on Place du Vieux Sigean, very close to the house, and two more on Place de l’Octroi.
I am travelling by bike. Where can I keep it?
We can keep a few bikes safe overnight. Space is limited, so please contact us when you book to check availability.
Can we come without a car?
Yes. Port-la-Nouvelle station is 10 minutes away: the bus takes you to Sigean for €1–2 (about €15 by taxi). From Narbonne station, it is €2 by bus or about €40 by taxi. The village is then easy to explore on foot. All the routes are on our Getting here page.
06
Réserve Africaine & surroundings
Do I need to book tickets for the Réserve Africaine?
Yes: tickets are sold online only, there are no sales at the gate. In August, book well in advance. Prices, opening hours and our visiting tips: our guide to the Réserve Africaine.
How much time should we allow for the Réserve Africaine?
A full day: a safari by car when the park opens, a walk and a picnic, then a second drive at the end of the day to see the animals that were asleep in the morning. All our tips are in our guide.
What is Lumières d’Afrique?
The Réserve’s giant lantern festival, after dark, every winter: in 2026–2027, from 25 October to 17 January. Bring warm clothes! More information in our guide.
Which is the nearest beach?
The long sandy beach of Port-la-Nouvelle, a 10-minute drive away, with lifeguards in summer. 20 minutes away, La Franqui beach is a paradise for kitesurfing and windsurfing: every April it hosts the Festival Mondial du Vent (World Wind Festival), a spectacle not to be missed!
Can we visit Carcassonne and Narbonne from Sigean?
Of course. Narbonne is a few minutes’ drive away and the Cité de Carcassonne about 45 minutes: allow a full day to enjoy it. Fontfroide Abbey is 30 minutes away. All our ideas for visits are in the day-by-day guide above.
