Description for B&B:
This particular mansion boasts four generously sized guestrooms, each uniquely decorated and equipped with private shower rooms. The rooms also offer stunning views, perfect for artists seeking inspiration. Formerly the residence of the Duke de Lévis-Mirepoix, the house stands out with its charming and character-filled features, including a spectacular gallery adorned with stained glass windows, Rococo plaster, and decorative tiles. Situated in the captivating bastide village of Léran, which dates back to the 13th century, the property is dominated by the impressive chateau of the dukes. Le Castelou provides various art and film-making activities, catering to individuals of all skill levels. The facility offers painting easels, studios, and digital media resources. The design of our four bedrooms aims to create a sense of spaciousness while highlighting the unique shapes and angles within each room. Le Belvédère, for instance, features a private balcony accessed via a staircase, providing a breathtaking panoramic view. It is an ideal spot to enjoy an aperitif while marveling at the architectural beauty of the Chateau, the charming church of Léran, or the majestic Pyrenees mountains. La Belle Pyrène is a spacious room offering handsome views of the Pyrenees mountains, allowing ample warm atmospheric light in the afternoons and evenings. Even the ensuite shower room offers a delightful view of the village rooftops and the Pyrenees. La Suite Léran consists of two interconnected bedrooms, one with a double bed and the other with a single bed, providing flexibility and space 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, on the other hand, is a spacious room with its own salon area, en-suite shower room, and separate private WC. With an area exceeding 50 m2 (550 sq ft), this suite is perfect for those who appreciate ample space. The windows, positioned at tree-top level, offer splendid views of Cours St Jacques and the Pyrenees.Reviews

Directions
To get to Léran from Blagnac/Toulouse, take the A61 on the peripherique and follow the signs for Carcassonne, Barcelona, and FOIX PEAGE (not Foix RN 20). Once you're on the A61 and have passed the toll booth, look for the A66 fork that leads to Andorra. At the next toll booth, the road merges with the N20 in the direction of Foix. Take exit 6 towards Mirepoix and Lavelanet. Join the D119, the first exit on the right at the roundabout, and continue through Les Pujols, Rieucros, Coutens, and Besset until you reach Mirepoix. On the outskirts of the town, go straight at the first roundabout and at the second roundabout, turn right onto the D625 towards Lavelanet.
If you're coming from Carcassonne, follow the D119 towards Mirepoix. Continue through Montréal and Fanjeaux in the direction of 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.
Pass through the village of La Bastide de Bousignac before reaching Aigues-Vives, which should take around 8 minutes. When you see the sign announcing 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. Take the D28, which will lead you directly to the village in about 4 minutes.
After passing the church, turn right into cours St Jacques. The mairie/school will be on your left. Le Castelou is the next building on the left, number 8 Cours St Jacques, just past the little crossroads. The house is pale yellow with white outlines around the windows.
