Carcassonne Travel Forum

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.

Hi,

I will be travelling to Carcassonne for a week at the beginning of October 2007 and I am looking for information of day trips to Montsegur, Rennes le Chateau, Limoix etc.

All help would be gratefully received

Thank you

Does anyone know if I can get a train from Avignon to Carcassonne and where I might view a timetable. Also is the station near the airport in Carcassonne and is there a regular bus service? Thanks

Hi

I will be travelling on my own to Carcassone in April 07 and do not drive, but
have a particular interest in Cathar history and do not want to leave without seeing Montsegure.

I have been unable to find any organised tours or day trips on the internet that would take me to Montsegur for the day other than self-drive. Does anyone know of any other tours, guides or ways to get to Montsegur without a car?'

Your assistance is much appreciated!

Thank you

We are thinking of booking a holiday cottage that says it is 5 mins from the station in Carcassonne - does anyone know the area and can tell me if we would be bothered by train noise ( mainly at night)?
Be glad of your input as the holiday home looks very nice. Hope to hear someone soon :)

Are most eating establishments open in February? If so, which would you consider the best?

Older couple will be in Carcassonne next August at the end of a tour. Need to get to Toulouse the next morning for a 6:55 A.M. flight back home. Researched the trains but nothing in the wee hours of the morning. How about a hired car/driver? Are there any transport services in Carcassonne that I could reserve? Thanks for your replies!

Hello

Can anyone recommend a nice self-catering appartment that we can stay in just for 3 nights, central of Carcassonne? or a good value bed & breakfast

thank you.

Hi

I am going to stay in Carcassonne for 3 nights in January and I have noticed that the cheaper accommodation is in Ville Basse. Is it easy to walk from this area to the medival Cite? Do you know how long it would take to walk?
As we are only there for a few nights we are tempted to pay more to stay in the Cite so it doesn't take long to walk home in the evenings after eating out etc. But if it easy to walk home to Ville Basse then we will stay there.
Also can anyone recommend any good value accommodation, appartments etc?

Many thanks!
Anna
