Carcassonne castle situated in Languedoc Roussillon France is a magnificent medieval
fortress the largest intact fortified citadel in Europe. Jewel of the Aude a UNESCO World
Heritage site. 52 towers and 3km of ramparts a remarkable piece of architecture. Amazing
aerial views will astound you when you fly into Carcassonne Salvaza airport. By auto route
especially from Spain Carcassonne stands proud and dominant on the skyline.
Built in the South of France near the Mediterranean at the turn of the 12th Century by the
Viscounts of Trencavel Carcassonne is named after Lady Carcass who sounded (sonne) the
trumpets to warn Charlemagne of invading enemies. Her sculptures proudly stand at the
Carcassonne cité entrance.
Cathar Castles unique to the Languedoc Roussillon region are within easy reach of all our
Holiday Accommodation. Queribus, Aguilar, Termes, Peyrepertuse and Puilaurens were built
to defend this magnificent Chateau called the 'five sons of Carcassonne'.
Today over 50 restaurants lie inside Carcassonne's walls offering the famous Cassoulet and
other gourmet delights of the region. Pavement cafés and bars invite tourists from all over
the world. Fun dungeons, ice cream parlours, sweet counters and gift shops where children
can buy souvenirs to become a Princess or Knight for the day. Antiques, tapestries and local
crafts are also available.
Visit the Museum or take a guided tour of the inner walls and discover the history of
centuries past. You will be astonished to know that it was saved from demolition. This is
credited to Jean Pierre Cros-Meyrevieille without whom we would not be able to enjoy this
outstanding Chateau.
The Carousel at the entrance adds to the occasion and is enjoyed by adults and children too.
Horse carriage rides and a tourist road train are also fun. Well worth a visit at night the
floodlit fortifications add to the atmosphere. Entrance to the castle is free except the tour
of the inner walls and museum. Special medieval events are held throughout the year and on
'Bastille Day' a spectacular firework display illuminates the sky. Used in the film "Robin
Hood Prince of Thieves" a fairytale place where you will want to return.
