Great place to stay when visiting Carcassonne
Very welcoming with comfortable rooms and good breakfast. No evening meal but there is an excellent restaurant in the same building. Easy to get into Carcassonne and gives you a very tranquil place to stay. We were here when devastating floods hit the area and the village of Palaga. We had no problems thanks to the attentive service we had from the owners who did everything possible to make our stay perfect.

Lovely restored chateau in park outside Carcassonn
This was a lovely place to stay a few minutes outside of Carcassonne in a beautiful park. The chateau has been beautifully and comfortably restored. The owner is perhaps a bit too protective — no coffee in the rooms! But the breakfast buffet is generous and delicious, with many homemade items.
