Aude, Languedoc-Roussillon

Aude – Haute Cuisine and the flair of the Middle Ages

The Aude is located between the Midi-Pyrénées and Languedoc-Roussillon. She wins over by her large variety of landscapes. Extensive forests of the Montagne Noire, vineyards, hilly areas and the coastal area of the Mediterrenean Sea with superb fine sand. Who imagines his best holiday area being like this reservs a hotel or a boarding house in the region of Aude.

Explore the land of the Cathars. This denomination is still ubiquitously present with many buildings, castles and ruins. Visit the many abbeys and castles and promenade on the traces of knights and earls.

The city of Carcassonne is an extraordinary highlight. Step through the immense city walls and your are in the Middle Ages. Stroll through 2,000 years of history alongside the “Ancient bridge” to the basilica of St-Nazaire de Carcassonne or the castle of the viscounts. The well preserved buildings and masonry will overwhelm you. Have a break in one of the numerous cafés and restaurants and let Europe`s largest medieval fortress complex impress you.

You have sufficiently experienced the history and would like to be active in sports ? Then enjoy a good breakfast in your hotel and start for a tour on the Canal du Midi. Here you can also be a Native American and experience the water by a canoe or a Kayak. 

France and food – not for nothing it is called “feast like a God in France”. Cargolade (escargot) through Cassoulet (slow-cooked bean stew or casserole) to goat cheese there are many dishes which pamper your taste and change your vacation in Languedoc-Roussillon to an unforgettable experience.
