Carcassonne Travel Forum

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.

Hi. My wife and I and our two children are flying to Carcassonne in August and need to go to Montpellier. What is the easiest way to do this? We don't want to hire a car. Is it necessary to pre-book the train?
Thanks.

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.

We are arriving at Carcassone Airport and wish to travel to Cap D,Agde.
Is the train the best and least expensive way to travel and if so how do we get to the train station from the Airport. Any suggestions would be much appreciated

Hi, we're spending a week in carcassonne in August and then need to travel down to Spain for the second week. We're thinking of going by train, but I feel like I'm going round in circles trying to understand all the train websites. Can we go from perpignon train station to girona train station, and do you have any idea how long it takes?
Thanks

Is the video and other information at the museum available in English?

hello, i'm trying to cut down on flying- any tips on taking the train for a return trip from london to carcasone in mid-june?
bit of a rail novice - thanks!

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?

Does anyone have an idea of the best way to get from Carcassone in the south of France to Gijon in northern Spain.

My 12 year old daughter and I would like to spend a week in late June cycling and camping in this area. Is this a good idea? What is the best way to get to Carcassonne from Ireland? And is it easy to get a train to Paris or Amsterdam in early July?

We are panning to stay around Carcassonne from mid July. We don't want to drive. Is there a small town with rail or bus links to travel about?We have looked at a lovely rental in Caunes but I don't think there are any direct rail/ bus links from there.

We have planned a 4-day stay in Carcassonne at the end of March (Easter holiday), and we plan to visit the main attractions. In addition to the La Cité, we had hoped to do walks around the area.

Could anyone recommend good routes for long/short walks? Also, will the weather be OK and pleasant enough?

THANKS!

I am planning a 3 week trip this summer to the Carcassonne area. We found a great place but it is only available during the month of June. As we had rather disappointing weather last summer, we want to be "guaranteed" of nice weather this time. Actually this is, apart from the region itself, one of the reasons to drive down south so far. Although the statistics on the various weather sites are quite OK for the month of June, I would like to be sure that June is not just too early for nice weather in the Languedoc-Roussillon. Of course nothing is so unpredictable as the weather, but can anyone tell me his/her experiences on the weather in June.

Thanks!

My problem is getting from Carcassonne Airport to Perpignan!!!
My partner is concerned with regards to the trains from the centre of Carcassonne to Perpignan!!! I do not have any problems travelling on the trains, I just wondered if anyone has done this route? Did you have any problems?

I am arriving at Carcassonne Airport next Sunday at 14:55 hours.
Please tell me if the shuttle bus runs on Sundays, and if not, what's the cheapest way to get to the town centre.
