Group getaway to Carcassonne, combining heritage and gastronomy

Day 1: Immersion in the Medieval City

Your group arrives in Carcassonne late morning, in a city steeped in history. Start with a traditional cassoulet lunch in a restaurant inside the Medieval City, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the afternoon, your guide takes you on a journey through time: walk through the majestic Narbonnaise Gate, explore the ramparts and lices, and admire the Basilica of Saint-Nazaire Saint Celse, a masterpiece of Romanesque and Gothic art. End the day with a convivial dinner and overnight in a 3-star hotel.

Day 2: Two unique experiences

After breakfast at the hotel, choose between two unforgettable options:

Option 1: Canal du Midi and Bastide Saint-Louis

Discover the lower town, Bastide Saint-Louis, with its elegant streets and lively squares. Then embark on a guided cruise along the Canal du Midi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and masterpiece by Pierre-Paul Riquet. Pass through a lock and enjoy the peaceful landscapes along this royal waterway built under Louis XIV.

Option 2: Lastours Castles and paper mill

Head to the Lastours Castles, perched on a rocky ridge at 300 meters altitude. From the viewpoint, admire the spectacular panorama of four Cathar fortresses. Then visit the last working paper mill in Languedoc, where ancient machines and hydraulic engines bring traditional craftsmanship to life. End the day with a delicious lunch in a Bastide restaurant.
