A very comfortable apartment in an excellent position. Food good, wine good, weather good. Lots to do and see around the area. Buying local produce from markets and cooking ourselves was fun.
The medieval Cité was very interesting and the Bastille Day Fireworks were fantastic. Overall it was a real experience ...

Thank you for providing such an excellent apartment, so bright and airy ...
Holiday was excellent, good mixture of sun and cloud, really needed one more week to get maximum benefit ...

The apartment is beautiful. from the main entrance and dark stairway it is amazing to walk into such a bright and spacious apartment. It has everything you would need for a long or short stay.
The Castle is excellent at both day and night.
Overall it is a great location.
Philip & Audrey, from Ireland, June 2008
The apartment was lovely, well equipped and clean - thank you Sophie. We didn't eat out with our 5 year old, but local markets, fish and meat shops were great, we ate like kings and queens. I am sure that one day we will return. Thanks (Alison)
What more can be said - apartment great - all we needed and more - had a great time exploring the local area and tasting wine. everyone so, so friendly, will definitely come back to enjoy the local hospitality in the not too distant future. A big thankyou Sophie, our time in your apartment has been great. (Carole)
... this wonderful apartment is both comfortable and full of the kind of things you need. It took us less than two hours to reach the spectacular Millau Bridge via the motorway. this is a lovely journey and the bridge is well worth the trip. We travelled back cross country where Belmont ia a beautiful little town worth seeing. The scenery is great but the drive is very windy and cannot be negotiated in a rush. ... Arriving early [at the Cité] is a great idea if you want to miss the hordes arriving by coach and gave us a peaceful drink in "Le Marrou" in the main square. The Cité is a beautiful site and there are so many restaurants to chose from. The atmosphere in the square is what makes France so good. It is peaceful yet lively. we walked from the Cité to the Canal du Midi and took a one-and-three-quarter hour boat trip up the canal. This was a lovely trip in the sunshine. The trip was good value with an excellent commentary telling us everything we needed to know. We still had time for a late afternoon drink in Place Carnot. This is a welcoming square with a good supermarket, bars, restaurants and a fishmonger who sold us some excellent prawns.
The apartment was great for us with a 5 year old. The early mornings and evenings on the roof patio were so peaceful you could hear the flaps of the birds' wings flying above. The position is great for exploring both the town of Carcassonne and the region. It has left us with some great memories. (Darren)

We could not have found a better long term rental. The apartment has the best light even on the dreary days of February. Great location from which to explore the coast, Andorra, the Pyrenees (Grotte de Niaux worth a visit but book in advance).. Carcassonne was great for walking and running and it was great to be here with the crowds of the old city and without the crowds in the Bastide. Both have their benefits. Will highly recommend this flat to friends.
Liz, David, Martin and Rachel, from Canada, Feb-May 2008
Enjoyed a good holiday. Ideal location, spacious and pleasant
apartment.
Wonderful, relaxing vacation.
Enjoyed Christmas fair in Place Carnot
If cooking in, do not miss the market in Place Carnot on Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday.
... Office of Tourism on [rue] Verdun was very helpful.
Enjoyed exploring Carcassonne, but allow for business to close
for two hours during lunch.
Hope you have as much fun as we did!
