The area is easily accessible by road and air, with Carcassonne Airport (serviced by Ryanair) only 15 minutes away and Toulouse Airport (British Airways, Easyjet and Flybe) an hour's drive. Montpellier and Perpignan are also within easy driving distance.
Idyllic place, lovely accommodation; the only difficulty is dragging yourself away to see all the Cathar sites. We wish we'd had more than a week.
