Chateau Carcassona France

A truly authentic family Château, with views of the great La Cité of Carcassonne, you will find yourself just 15 minutes from all the tourist sights and 5 minutes from the busy Canal du Midi. This 16th Century Château sleeps 12 and comes complete with original fine furnishings and fixtures.
Everything about this Château has remained faithfully original, having been in the same family for 500 years. Heirlooms line the walls and mantelpieces, and each room is authentically decorated.
Feel the warm Mediterranean breeze on your face when you dine al fresco on the grand terrace “balcony of La Cite”. This terrace can seat up to 120 people and boasts a panoramic view of the medieval La Cité in Carcassonne. On cooler evenings dine alongside the great fireplace transported from the ancient Château (dated approximately 1200AD) and let the fragrant floral scents lull you to sleep in the charming bedrooms.
Nestled in a picturesque, historical village, discover what it feels like to live in a historic family home of over 500 years, discreet and away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
The historical village is perched on a hill and surrounds one of the actual “look outs” of the ancient Cite in Carcassonne. Just 5km away, and with a tunnel dug deep underground, this small, historic village is forever linked to the fate of La Cite, Carcassonne.
Discreet and “out-of-the-way”, the quiet village of the Chateau is only 5 minutes from the bustle of Trebes, with its delicious patisseries, bars and restaurants. Situated on the famous Canal du Midi, Trebes (featured in Rick Stein’s wonderful series), has become a popular stopover for the thousands of Canal visitors that flock to the area each year.
Many vineyards are in the area and wine tours, revealing some of the more “boutique” wines not well known outside the region, are available for groups of up to 7 at a time.
