Our house is centrally located in the medieval city (La Cite), just under the towering walls of the Cite Medievale (a World
Heritage site). It is a typical town house in a quiet street of terraced houses. The Bastide (later town) is only 12 minutes walk over the old bridge where there are many restaurants, shops and a market 3 times a week.

Discover the Lac de la Cavayère!
Description It took sixths to build the dam (155m long, 23m high, 142m thick at the base and 5m thick at the top), working from May through November 1988.Located near the Medieval City's sensitive boundaries, in a natural environment.
If you walk all the way around the lake (in about an hour) you'll discover a wide variety of landscapes and environmental conditions, from freshness to aridity, from woods to wastelands, from shadow to full light. You'll notice this region's three dominating hues: blue, green and ochre.

The lake of la Cavayère is not just for taking a stroll. It is also a health resort, an amusement park, a place where adults and children can have fun, a special place where you can relax within a stone's throw from Carcassonne.
