Cité of Carcassonne

Home description

Self catering gite along the Canal du Midi with a breathless view of the famous Cité of Carcassonne and the Pyrénnées.

The house was built in 1960 in a nice and peacefull area. The view is just unbelievable.

A part of the house has now been comfortably renovated and offers a nice, sweet gite. The gite offers its clients a beautiful place to stay with personal attention provided by its owner, Hugues. You will not be disappointed. The gite is set between Toulouse and Narbonne above the majestic Canal du Midi in the sunny Languedoc region in South of France.

Carcassonne is located in the beautiful wine growing region of the Cabardès, Corbières and Minervois, between the stunning slopes of the Montagne Noire and the Mediterranean Sea with a magnificent natural back-drop of the great Pyrenees. The area is ideal for exploring on bicycles (which are provided for four persons) and for car and canal boat excursion.  Contact the owner about cruising.

About the location

The self catering gite is set in the department of the Aude in the Languedoc region of the South of France. Situated only an hour and a half from the Spanish border, the gite is above the majestic Canal du Midi, faced south to the famous Cité de Carcassonne and the Pyrénnées.

Things to do and see in the area:

• The Canal du Midi Work classified in the Patrimony for the Humanity by the UNESCO, the Canal du Midi, built by the bitter Pierre Paul Riquet in 1680, crosses all western Languedoc Roussillon to join the Atlantic ocean to the Mediterranean Sea. With its length of 240 km and its 65 locks, it represents the most beautiful and the most different landscapes of the region. Carcassonne, the medieval.
• The city of Carcassonne, one of the most extraordinary sites registered by the UNESCO to the world patrimony of humanity. The Aude department and the Canal du Midi separate the town - built in the XIIIth century and restored in the XIXth century by Viollet le Duc - from the low city.

• Gruissan - fishing harbour and beach leading to huge sea lakes, with fishing villages and a Safari Zoo.
• Narbonne - The magnificent Cathedral towers over the town, once the capital of the Roman province of Narbonensis. It is the home of the truly remarkable century old, indoor food market called Les Halles, France at the centre of its gastronomic best, the home of culinary refinement.
