Maison du canal du midi

Eight rooms make up Maison du canal du midi, a stone-walled bed and breakfast on Route Minervoise beside the UNESCO-listed canal, a fifteen-minute walk from Carcassonne's medieval Cité — a quiet base for travellers touring the ramparts without paying hotel-district prices.

Mornings run on the terrace, garden view included, with special diets accommodated on request and packed lunches available for canal-towpath walks. Rooms keep parquet floors, mosquito nets, and sockets positioned bedside rather than across the room.

An airport shuttle can be arranged, useful given the property's edge-of-town setting away from the train station's rail links.
