No.11 Carcassonne France

Carcassonne is in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France and offers a full range of activities and varied locations for you to explore and make the most of your holiday. It is a popular city destination for tourists from all over Europe, and is easy to get to from most European cities and is well served by cheap airlines. There is much to see and do in the city as well as the surrounding area. If you are looking for a city break, in a place with lots of history, wonderful bars and restaurants and a good night-life, Carcassonne is a must visit.

Or, you can experience the more sedate and picturesque surrounding landscape, the Canal du Midi, the acres and acres of vineyards, and the breath taking snow capped mountains.

Our bed and breakfast is perfect for both city breaks and a base for day-trips into the countryside. A beautifully restored 17th century townhouse, we offer accommodation that has original character and historical charm. Batiments de France, the official body that oversees French architectural heritage has described our house as a ‘true gem’.

We have been welcoming guests to the area for over 8 years, and have written tour guides on the city of Carcassonne. We offer weekend breaks and mid-week stays for special occasions or simply a relaxing break.

For wine lovers the region offers a diverse selection from the Malpere, Corbieres, Cabardes and the Minervois, all delicious wines of the Languedoc waiting to be discovered and savoured.

Most famous is UNESCO’s World Heritage site La Cité de Carcassonne. With ramparts dating back to the 12th century this Medieval walled fortress is the second most visited tourist attraction in France.

The Canal du Midi is enjoyed by boating enthusiasts, cyclists and walkers as they enjoy its towpath under the immense plane trees that line its banks. Starting at Agde on the coast it stretches all the way to Toulouse.
