Hi, my flight from Carcassonne is leaving at 8.35am in the morning, just to ask will the bus be working already by then?

If yes, where am I supposed to catch the bus? I have been trying to look these up on the internet but unfortunately I failed to find anything.

Thanks!

Hi, my husband and I and our 1month+ baby will be travelling to Montpellier soon. We will be in Montpellier for 2.5 weeks due to my husband's work schedule. While we are there, we would like to explore Southern France a little.

We will arrive in Montpellier in the morning after travelling from Asia. We have about 3 nights to go around before we stay put in Montpellier. Is it a good idea to drive to Carcassonne from Montpellier, use it as a base for the next 3 nights and travel out during day time? I am looking at some wine areas as well. Somewhere rustic, with characters, natures...

Thank you in advance.

How do I get from Barcelona Sants to Carcassonne, by rail & by bus?

I am a long retired Officer of the Royal Navy, aged 84 years. My wife (in her sixties) and I contemplate a visit to Carcassonne. For very short journies I can walk - with sticks - but for seeing a city I must use a wheelchair. We are afraid that we shall have to go on cobbled streets or pavements. To what extent should we worry? We look forward very much to living in such a historic and beautiful city. Can we do it? William Walter.

Is there any way for 6 of us to get from Castelnaudary to Barcelona by taxi/car? I believe there is a charge of 700 Euros for taking a hired car across the border,so that seems to be out. Going by train one needs to change at Narbonne and Perpignan and takes so much longer. As the day we need to travel is a Monday, The Teagon "magic Bus" to Barc is also out. We would be prepared to just get to Gerona and hire a car from there. Any suggestions?
