We are sure that if you know France then you will certainly know, or have heard of Carcassonne. It is a town of about 45,000 inhabitants in the Region of Languedoc Roussillon, on the River Aude and Canal du Midi. The Local Information page provides a wealth of information about the area and the Related Sites page gives you the web sites for other places and interesting towns to visit in the area. Please take time to look at these.
Our house, for four persons, is situated in the medieval city (La Cite), just under the towering walls of the Cite Medievale (a World Heritage site) and 15 minutes from Carcassonne Airport. It is a typical French town house in a street of terraced houses. There are cafes, restaurants and shops nearby. There is also free local transport between La Cite, nearby, and Bastide St Louis during the main tourist season.
There are daily flights by Ryanair from Stansted, UK to Carcassonne and Montpelier; also from Brussels to Carcassonne. In addition, there are flights by British European, British Airways and Air France to Toulouse and Montpellier from London Heathrow and Regional Airports such as Birmingham.
There are many places to visit in the area, apart from Carcassonne which is a “must”, including Beziers, Pezanas (for antiques), Perpignan, Montpellier, the vineyards of Minervois and Corbierres, the Montagne Noir (30 minutes away), the Pyrenees of the Ariege and Andorra (for skiing, walking and climbing), and of course the beach is less than one hour away at Narbonne, to name just a few places.
