Local Area and Things To Do

L’Obit Ouest is nestled within the rolling countryside of the Aude region, with far reaching views in all directions. From the West facing terrace, guests can enjoy views of the Pyrenees, as well as stunning sunsets. There is a wealth of nature within the surroundings, including birds of prey that you can spot most days. There are two tracks that provide easy short walks directly from the house so you can enjoy even more views of the Pyrenees.
