Getting From Carcassonne to Pay da la Casa, Andorra
Posted: Fri October 30, 2009 02:41 PM UTC

Hi all,

I am trying to book a sking holiday in andorra for a small group of friends in Jan . We are flying from Dublin so Ryanair to Carcassonne is good option . I am wondering if anyone can advise me on the best way to tranfer (and probable cost) from Carcassonne Airport to Andorra. We would take public transport if possible or hire private bus Coach for up to 10 people. Thank you all.

Regards,
Gary

Crossing the Road
Posted: Sat June 13, 2009 12:02 PM UTC

hi

we have booked a hotel south off the airport and we are told it is a 10 minute walk from the airport. I have looked on the map and the only major road we have to cross is the D119 Route de Montreal can anyone tell me if there are any subways or crossings on this road or do we have to run haha. Also is it possible to get a bus from this area into town.

VEGETARIANS and Italian restaurants, Carcassonne
Posted: Mon April 13, 2009 11:29 AM UTC

We are due to visit Carcassonne for 3 days at the end of April. We are vegetarians, and are probably looking for Italian restaurants - in the ville basse. Discovered a few searching the net: L'Italia, Le Rialto, Divine Comedie - wondered if anyone could help with opening times/days? We will be staying Sat, Sun and Mon nights, and realise that Sunday and also Monday can be difficult. We prefer evening meals. Would be grateful for any help here. Many thanks in anticipation, GNW

Hi there,

I was wondering if you had travelled by public transport at all while you were in Carcasonne. I do not want to drive and was hoping to use either rail or bus to explore towns of the surrounding area.

Any ideas or info

Location of Hertz Downtown Office
Posted: Wed February 18, 2009 06:35 AM UTC

Hi - I have a car rental from Hertz's Downtown Office in Carcassonne. The only address information I have been given is "Route de Montreal" which is actually out past the airport and can't possibly be the downtown office. Any help on getting the exact address or intersection very much appreciated. There are two locations in Carcassonne - the other one is the airport.

Within the city walls
Posted: Sat August 2, 2008 07:48 PM UTC

We are stopping in Carcassonne for four nights before travelling to our gite near Quillan. I have never been to Carcassonne but staying within the city walls seems the thing to do.

Has anyone stayed at the The Logis des Remparts? I can only find sites in French (or awkward English!) and am having trouble booking.

Transport from Carcassone to Tossa de Mar
Posted: Fri July 18, 2008 02:31 PM UTC

We need to get from Carcassone to Tossa de Mar in mid August (on a Saturday)and would like to know if this is possible by train (preferable) or bus.

So far it looks as though one might need to get a train from Narbonne to Girona and a bus from there but the information I have found is unclear.

If anyone can tell us what options are available and the travel time/costs involved, we would be most grateful.

Thanks for your assistance and happy travelling.

Early morning arrival?
Posted: Wed March 26, 2008 03:54 AM UTC

We're thinking of taking the train from Paris to Carcassonne in June.
Only problems being a very early arrival.
One option is arriving at 5:40 am.
Another is around 7:40 am.
This seems quite early. Is anything open at these hours?
What would one do?

Also wondering about a hostel in Preixan (about 10 km south) Sidsmums Travellers Retreat.
Is it easy to get there from Carcassonne?
