Neighborhood highlights

Carcassonne is located just 10 minutes from the villa and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in France and the capital of Aude.

The city straddles both banks of the river Aude with the walled mediaeval town on the south bank and the 13th century La Bastide St-Louis on the north.

The battlement and turrets featured in 'Robin Hood Prince of Thieves' as Nottingham castle also inspired Walt Disney’s castles in Sleeping Beauty and within the Disney parks. The popular novel 'Labyrinth' by Kate Mosse also takes place inside the walls.

The Canal du Midi runs along the bottom of Caux et Sauzens making its way towards Carcassonne passing close to the train station in the lower Town and then onto the coast. It follows the route of an ancient highway and was built by Pierre-Paul Riquet over the course of fifteen years. The canal opened in 1681 and was considered at the time a massive engineering accomplishment.

The tree-lined Canal with its signature humpback bridges provide a pleasant path for walks only a few minutes from the villa.

Guests can explore the many historic sites in and around Carcassonne and discover the land of the Cathar and Knights Templars made famous by the Dan Brown novels.

There is wine tasting everywhere with numerous private caves and roadside vendors and beautiful vineyards. Nearby Limoux is famous for its sparkling blanquuette wine, a sparkling bottle-fermented wine that was being manufactured before they knew what sparkling wine was in Champagne.

The Mediterranean coast is easily reached in 45 minutes with beautiful beaches, the perfect scenic day trip from the villa.
