    Very charming little B&B at the top of the village. The rooms are as beautiful as in the photos, comfortable beds and tastefully decorated. Towels are provided and you can help yourself to tea and coffee in the hallway. Good value for money - we...

    The host was fantastic and super friendly and this B&B is charming. It’s an old house that has been restructured so do not expect AC or modern facilities. But is has character to sell and I adored it. Great breakfast too!

    Incredibly relaxing stay at the lovely Maison Rives. Great location with lots of free parking nearby. Beautiful high ceilings and a lovely atmosphere. Comes complete with a cat that plays fetch with corks!

Olivier
You will enjoy "la Maison Rives" because it is well situated in the famous bookvillage of Montolieu and very near from Carcassonne and the Canal du Midi.
In addition to welcoming you to Maison Rives and doing everything to make your stay as pleasant as possible, I am a bookstore in the village du Livre, right next to the guest house. I am inexhaustible when it comes to discussing literature, science fiction, comics, etc. I also take care of the Montolieu comic book festival which takes place every year in October, as well as the Freelance Book Fair which takes place the last weekend of June.
It is a nice old house in the village of Montolieu, wich is famous for his 17 Librairy !
