Self catering accommodation France -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 French 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.

The house has tiled floors throughout and is furnished in French style. Electric convector heaters provide warmth in the cooler months. Parking is available “on street” outside of the house.

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.

Discover the Lac de la Cavayère!
Description Born of the ashes of a 1985 fire that devastated the sector, the lake of la Cavayère is a splendid retaining reservoir of 1.5 million cubic metres covering a surface area of 18 hectares.
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. In the middle of the lake, you'll see a bird's island used for the nesting of ducks and other aquatic species.

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.
With its picnic areas (with barbecue), children's games, water sports, sandy beaches and grassy edges, fishing, and the ideal place for walking, this lake is a true haven of peace, freshness and delight.
