The 28 best shopping and stores in Carcassonne Center

Canal Du Midi from Toulouse to Narbonne. By bike September 2019 This is a great experience and very physical intensive.but a lot of joy and a good way to strengthen your body. The first step from Toulouse to Castelnaudary it's quiet relaxed and the path on the side of Canal du Midi make it easy to get along. But you always hear the high way where the cars making there own sound but still you feel happy peddling along the old Allees beside the water. The following route to Carcassonne needed more Intension for the path it was paved with little stones, occasionally some roots and wholes make it difficult to bike fast. The third part till Narbonne was even more difficult and because of some tree disease they had to cut almost all the old trees and planted new once but this couldn't give you an enjoyable feeling. The good part was that the high way was to fare away to hear. Nevertheless the people you meet on the Canal Du Midi in Bike, Hiking or on a Boot are always very friendly and all in all take as much time you can to be able to explore the villages on the Canal try the good food and the great wine they produce in the area and look out that you have always enough water with you.

The quiet tree shaded bicycle path along the canal is a dream for cyclists.

Picturesque, slow pace, towns adjoining, a very French experience. We enjoyed our stay, 10 days was too brief even with two days before and after in central Toulouse, 14 total.

I preferred the section away from the road. The staircase lock we passed was interesting. The locks are big as the vessels passing through are also a fair size. The canal is perhaps a little over 10m wide.

I expected some slightly better surfaces. Most of it was quite poor, with potholes, rough large gravels and tree roots. It's also badly signposted in places. Don't try it with normal road tyres. Most people were on electric bikes with fat tyres. I won't be back.

A bucket list exsperience and must do. Relaxing holiday by selfdriven boat while enjoying southern France's vinos and old villages.

Keep in mind the canal is not a single point on the map, the pin took me somewhere random that wasn’t that pretty

An absolute highlight. The castle town is like in every childrenbook. Wouldn't be surprised, if a dragon arrives🙂. It is really like in a tale. All the towers with the roofs and the big large walls. A walk along the wall is more than 3km and take about 1 hour. Its included in the castle entrance. The cite can be freely visited all time. The castle is separate and has normal ooening hours. Entrance is 19€. But its worth it. You get a lot infos on boards with drawings about defense systems and reconstruction of the site. The cite is full of shops, bars and restaurants.An cathedral can also be visited. I recommand 2 visits. One fir castle and wall. Other in the evening for diner.

This is an amazing place to visit, lots to see. I would encourage anyone going to visit the castle and get the audio guide. So much information to listen to, both in the castle and and as you walk the walls. It really explains the history and development of the place. There's far less info on the few signs dotted about. Lots of places to eat and buy souveineers in the city and so many things to photograph.

A really cool place to visit in the fall when the tourists are gone. I walked around at my leisure then took the Privilege tour which takes us in basements and other restricted areas to learn more about the history of the place. It was worth it. The only mild disappointment was the restaurants. I nearly cried when I realized that I can make a better cassoulet than what I had been served. I love cassoulet and was hoping to have an out of body experience in the birthplace of this dish. It was ok but not mind-blowing... If you like jogging, there's a nice trail around the walls where I enjoyed gorgeous views. In shoer, great place to visit but eat in town if you want to experience gastronomy.

Wonderful"village" inside the walls, free to enter, not too busy and very historic, full of food outlets, and seemed to be reasonably priced. Beware if cycling up and leaving bikes outside, we parked and there was a cut lock on the cycle stand, when we came back another couple returned and they had had their bikes stolen, seemingly a few minutes before we arrived, so ensure you have a very secure lock.

A lovely medieval town surrounded by well preserved ramparts with a wonderful view of the city and countryside.a magnificent amphitheatre and beautiful manicured gardensz The castle is so interesting and the tour is well worth doing. Lots of restaurants, souvenir shops and cafes within the walls.

The best medieval city ever. It's a must place to visit. You'll not be disappointed. Worth the entrance fee into the castle. There's plenty of parking too

Absolutely stunning. Loved our visit here. Paying the extra €13 to walk the remparts/walls is absolutely worthwhile. One of the best places that I've ever been to.

Service a little wooden but attentive. Food was an experience but at the same time somewhat underwhelming. A bit too much of a focus on telling us all about Putelat's history and other properties...suppose that can't be avoided! Restaurant ambiance delightful.

Had a spectacular meal here. So many fun things to eat! We had the menu for first time visitors and highly recommended it. Great value and very delicious 😀. The cheese tree was amazing!

The food was as bland and bored as the decor. For me to say food is bland, as someone from the Midwest, should tell you what you need to know. The only people enjoying the atmosphere and evening appeared to be the young boy and his dad playing checkers together, which, sadly, was the highlight of the evening. We had the 8 course tasting menu with wine paring. I have never been more disappointed or unimpressed by food. After the pre-appetizers and bread, nobody looked excited or even pleased with their courses, we certainly weren’t. There was nothing exciting about the dishes, especially the flavors. The trout was fishy and bland. The pigeon was chewy and bland. The texture of the squid was the oddest I’ve ever had and the flavors were mediocre. Even the chocolate dessert was fishy, as it had anchovies in it. The wine was good and the staff were attentive. That is, until our courses were complete and we politely mentioned that we were not impressed or overly pleased with the experience. Then we were ignored, with empty water and it took quite a while to flag anyone down to get our check. Sadly, a very disappointing experience.

The reception staff is very arrogant, the reception managers thought that we did not understand French and discussed our issue in a derogatory manner. We received a refusal to all our questions and only after persistent requests a solution was found. We tried to communicate with a smile but all answers were very arrogant. Nothing to do with hospitality but more like we were in a government agency with officials who were deciding whether to give us any benefits or not Also, they did not want to let us, hotel guests, onto the terrace, which the hotel shares with the restaurant. There was not a single person there, and we just wanted to seat in the fresh air before going to bed. In the rooms only paid water in the minibar, there is not even a small complimentary bottle, considering that there are no shops near the hotel. However, we liked the room itself

Lunch, magnificent. We had the 60 euro lunch (one main one dessert) which sounds like you'd go away hungry, but the many tiny amuse bouche (8 I think) with wildly complex flavours (cherry stuffed with olive tapinard) completely filled out the experience. With two glasses of wine each and a digestive schnapps at the end we finished on 220 euros for two and it was worth every cent, would go back every time we're in Carcassonne. Staff very professional and helpful, and seemed happy which isn't always the case in France, we were even invited to meet the chef in the kitchen (very The Menu kitchen). Really cool toilets (judge a place by the little things, the stuff they do well but didn't need to). Recommended, in fact I'd say it's a must if you are anywhere near Carcassonne.

We dined here as part of the Preface Menu designed to make food of this quality accessible to young people. We had specific dietary requirements, which were catered for without hesitation by the chef. From entering it was apparent that the resturant was maintained to the highest standard, nothing was out of place. The staff were friendly, accommodating, gave and tremendous recommendations. The food is without doubt the best I have ever eaten, its creative, presented immaculately and if course in terms of flavours, wow. The combination of sometimes unusual ingredients, really shows the mastery of the chefs. Every dish was so well balanced. I could not recommend this place enough. Congratulations to all the staff, the memories of eating here will last a long time.

We have just returned from a short stay at Hotel Le Parc. I cannot speak highly enough of the service we received from all the staff, but particularly from Marie and Louanne who looked after us throughout our stay. Everyone was really friendly and welcoming but also highly efficient and professional. The rooms are a great combination of luxury and minimalism. We also had a private patio, with a jacuzzi, which we made very good use of. We ate in the restaurant only once on the evening of the Fete de la Musique. The menu was innovative, exciting and provocative. Chef Plutelat is well worth his michelin stars. We will return soon.

The food and service were much better than some of the reviews suggest. The cassoulet was tasty but perhaps a little salty. Not a huge portion but that's fine.

1,8 average is fully deserved! The Personal is rude and we waited 20 minutes for our drinks. The appetites came with the main meal, the egg wasn’t fully cooked and the beef was awful. I told the servant I want my beef medium rare- lucky to say, I got a beef with the concentration of a chewing gum. Do yourself the favour and look for another restaurant!

The food itself is not delicious. The service is in the average. It’s in the center of castle so we can’t complain the quality. At least, they are efficient.

Had lunch here , pretty busy. Staff were under great pressure, so not very friendly. I'm sure on less busier days they might be a little more friendly. The Cassoulet was absolutely delicious. Very tasty. My husband had a cheese omelette which he also enjoyed. Nicely situated with the cité. Merci

If I could give you 0 I would. Very sad to say this city is so beautiful but the people in many of the restaurants and bars of the old city are not. Rude and unpleasant. I wanted to sit outside “it’s reserved” so I sit by the window. THEY THEN CLOSED THE WINDOW. So I then decided to leave. “Bye bye” the waitress said in English mockingly. Well bye bye to you too! Sad but this whole city is full of such places. Found somewhere nicer shortly after!

Sat down to eat here as it was open after normal luncheon hours. Instantly noticed that the hostess was behaving strangely like she was drunk or worse. We then saw the reviews online which made us worried. The service was actually quite quick. The salad was a salad. The cassoulet was meagre in meat and pretty bland but not the as bad as the reviews make out. Set meal for two plus Demi-carafe was €46. The horror house next door was probably the worst part of the meal, made an absolute racket outside for all to hear.

I ordered beef steak, fries and salad. Waiting time for the food is was so long. Meat was chewy and hard. Fries was over salted. Salad had too much oil. That was awful and not eatable. I don't recommend.

The local dish the casoulette was tasty, although the tartar is not recommended. It's not prepared, just few of ingredients and you have to mix it yourself. For this I wouldn't ask it in restaurant, I would prepare it at home. As well, the place is full of flies

Cosy and comfortable restaurant, a good place to try French cuisine and the local specialities. The place is more frequented by locals, being a bit off center. The food is good and comes in big portions and sensible prices. Try cassoulet, which is a speciality of Languedoc and is a dish with meat and beans, slowly cooked in a casserole. Dog friendly

Fabulous food at a reasonable price

Nice atmosphere and the waitress (both) was very nice. The older man seems a little grumpy and gets even more grumpy if you have bad french (quite funny really). The food is good and the prices are reasonable. Recommend the salads and the coffee is of good quality. Seems like a lot of locals go there which is a good sign.

Home made foie gras, delicious!

Good food, good service and friendly staff. We decided to have both the starter and mains special of the day both were excellent. Our starter was an excellent salad, our main course was pork cooked on the rib with onion and mushroom along with fries, pork was really succulent, we finished our meal with tarte tatin as French a desert as you can get. Finished off with coffee and local Carcassonne liqueur creme de menthe, liquid after eight, all this for around €40, if we return to Carcassonne we'll be happy to return here.

Warm welcome, hot drinks nice atmosphere. Good value. We didn't eat, so no comment on the food.

We had great expectations for this place. We bought some of their home made cookies and caramels. We could hardly taste the almond and pistachio in what were supposed to be three different kinds of almond and pistachio cookies. And they were all hard. The two types of caramel we tried were overly sweet. In the end we were very disappointed especially after paying premium prices for our gourmandises.

The pâte du fruit is excellent. The store opens a little late.

Good ice cream but very small portions. Poor value for money.

15€ for 5 Madelines and a small piece of nougat.

Delicious gelato, biscuits and cookies.

Tasty ice cream and crepes!

(Translated by Google) Come Saturday May 3, 2025, brown person in the shop. I bought about 100g of Gruissan fleur de sel nougat already cut and wrapped in film!!! The worst part is that this nougat is not artisanal and sold for €69 per kilogram!!!! Also, don't look for almonds, there are almost none in them, the texture of the nougat is mediocre!!!! Real artisan nougat contains at least 70% almonds, Provence honey.... A shame to sell such Crap!!! Go your way!!! 🤔😡 (Original) Venue Samedi 3 Mai 2025, personne brune dans la boutique.Jj'ai acheté 100g environ de Nougat à la fleur de sel de Gruissan deja coupe et sous film !!! Le plus grave c'est que ce nougat n'est pas artisanal et vendu 69 € le kilogramme !!!! De plus ne chercher pas les amandes il n'y en a quasi pas dedans ,la texture du nougat est mediocre !!!! Le vrai nougat d'artisan contient au moins 70% d'amandes ,miel de Provence .... Une honte de vendre une telle Merde !!! Passez votre chemin !!! 🤔😡

There are now a lot more shops in the centre, and in fact before Christmas they are having a special Xmas fair in the December weekends leading up to the 25th.

Plenty of the in-store boutiques haven't opened yet. The place looks deserted. However it's modern, and the indoor supermarket has good quality products at a very reasonable price. Toilets are spotless.

Spacious, clean good selections of shops although there are still empty shop units.

Nice big shopping centre with large supermarket chain inside, our main focus was for a petrol fill up but to are suprise we didn't find one. We done a little bit of shopping whilst there, it's clean and new so all good

A few shop's that were opened on the 04/05/2022 saw clients and potential clients. ***PMR*** Progress to have access to the pavement next to the routes. TOO HIGH not just for wheelchair access, parents with young family members in pushchairs etc. In front of the store's that were opened customer's had the choice to use the steps, the large slope or for me the mini ski slope set in the beautiful garden landscaping. The C Cial is still underway. NO Bus routes or Bus times yet. NO bus drop off and collect sites are available as they were under construction. Signs that are in place are covered by black plastic. Routes are dead ends. One way routes were seen by drivers to be accessed in both directions. The parking area next to the Feu Vert store and work shops I watched this amazing spectacle unfold. It soon became the unofficial route to turn around in. Very confusing for every driver. They all seemed to cope with this unusual challenge with good humour & no accidents.

I find myself coming here a lot because of the great shopping

New shopping centre and now that there are more commercial outlets a pleasant place to do your shopping or have a coffee.

Fantastic place with great beers, a perfect pre-airport drink before a flight! You can take RTCA bus line 7 from the train station and get off at "Henri Mouton" stop and you're right outside. Then it's a 15 minute walk to the airport!

My favourite bar in Carcassonne. The staff and managers are super friendly and welcoming. Amazing beer selection🍺

Cool place, great beers, friendly staff, in the middle of an industrial park. Well worth checking out. 🍻🍻

Nice selection of beer on tap. Spacious bar with friendly staff.

20 mins walk from the airport on an retail/industrial park. Usual great choice you’d expect from V&B. Picked up some French craft beers I wouldn’t find at home. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Great selection of libations. If you don't see it, ask.

This is a shop selling a huge selection of beers and wines. It also has a very nice bar at the rear of the premises. I'm looking forward to going there when my dry January has ended.

This is a terrible place to buy groceries. They need to decide if they are a clothing store or a food store. Right now, they do neither very well. Bad checkout experience.

A decent grocery and home goods store in the center of Carcassonne. A nice selection of meats, vegetables and supplies if you are boating the Canal du Midi and stopping in Carcassonne. Be sure to weigh and label your fruits and veggies before you get to the register to pay. 😬

I love monoprix and always visit when in France, but my experience just now has left me feeling very disappointed. I called up the Carcassonne store to see if they stocked a product that I'd seen online as I was only in town for one day. The guy who answered the phone hung up on me twice before I even had a chance to ask my question. Then didn't bother answering the third time I called. My french isn't perfect but I tried my best, but didn't expect such rude service. It seemed he couldn't be bothered to help someone non french. Shocking. I appreciate Virginie responding but it seems she is having to do far to much apologising for bad experiences. Maybe a new approach is needed.

We are staying in Carcassonne for a few days so popped in to pick up a few picnic items. To be honest I was slightly worried about reviews that talked about aggressive security and a poor attitute from staff. Our experience could not have been further from this. The store was very clean and there were no bag checks on entering. There is a great selection of food, drink and toiletries etc at reasonable prices. There is also a clothes department and household items. Whilst waiting to pay I was struggling to identify where the empty baskets went and the very pleasant and helpful security man noticed my confusion, came over and with a big smile took it to the correct location for me. Thank you for that! The cashier was also really pleasant, helpful and patient with our regrettably limited French. Thank you also! A great experience and highly recommended to all.

Visiting France, Monoprix is always the place we visit the most, but this one here in Carcassonne is very disappointing. Today, I entered the store after making a purchase at Carrefour, but I was immediately approached by an unfriendly security guard who insisted that I leave my bag at the front. Despite my explanation that I had just arrived, a lady working there quickly glanced at my bag and remarked, "We sell these items too." I felt pressured to leave my bag at the front, which made me, as a paying customer, feel immediately distrusted. This experience left me incredibly disappointed and upset, as I was treated as if I were a thief. The staff working here (on July 16) need to reconsider how they approach customers. Regrettably, I will not be coming back to this Monoprix store again, and I cannot recommend it to others.

Unacceptable Security Behavior at Monoprix Carcassonne I am writing to express my extreme disappointment and frustration with my recent experiences at Monoprix Carcassonne. On two separate occasions, I entered the store only to be aggressively followed by security personnel. This situation was not only embarrassing but also deeply uncomfortable. As a customer, I expect to be treated with respect and dignity while shopping at your establishment. However, the behavior exhibited by your security staff completely violated these expectations. It felt as though I was being targeted and harassed, which is entirely unacceptable. I believe it is crucial for Monoprix to maintain a welcoming and inclusive shopping environment for all customers. Incidents like these not only tarnish your store's reputation but also make customers like me feel unwelcome. I strongly urge you to address this issue promptly and take appropriate measures to ensure that such incidents do not recur in the future. Customers should feel safe and valued when visiting your store, and I hope that Monoprix will take this matter seriously and take corrective actions immediately.

French chain that combines supermarket products and a limited line of clothing. The products are cheap compared to other supermarkets, but there isn't great variety, as the promote their own brand. The clothes are in a casual style and come in small sizes only.

(Translated by Google) Very nice store, we find everything we need, lots of choice and at good prices...sneakers, bags...in a lively area...next to Kiabi, it's easy and saves time when shopping (Original) Très beau magasin , on trouve tout ce qu'il nous faut , beaucoup de choix et a des bons prix ...des baskets , des sacs...dans une zone animé...a côté de Kiabi , sa facilité et sa fais gagner du temps pour faire mes achats

(Translated by Google) A pleasant, clean, and spacious store with a wide selection. Brands offer sneakers at reasonable prices. The staff is lovely, helpful, and friendly. A perfect fit for me. (Original) Un magasin agréable,propre et spacieux avec beaucoup de choix. Des marques à des prix raisonnables pour les baskets. Lepersonnel est adorable, serviable et souriant. Un sans faute pour moi.

(Translated by Google) Not a serious store at all. I reserved a pair of shoes online. I arrived today and learned that they were sold out even though I had reserved them on their website and had gone to the store. Another 15 minutes on site for nothing. Avoid. (Original) Magasin pas du tout sérieux. Je réserve une paire de chaussures sur internet. J’arrive aujourd’hui et j’apprends qu’elles ont été vendues alors que j’avais réservé sur leur site et que je me suis déplacé. Plus 15 mn sur place pour rien. À éviter

(Translated by Google) Hello, I went to Chaussea in the Salvaza area. I am really disappointed because, on the one hand, when asking for advice, you get the impression that you are bothering them. After that, you get the impression that they want to get rid of customers quickly. After that, for my son, I found a pair of sandals that were a bit too big, but I couldn't really ask for help because we felt like we were bothering them. After that, when I got to the checkout, they told me yes, you are entitled to 25% off for your 45th birthday, except that I am charged but they don't give me the discount. The problem is that there is a lack of professionalism and a lack of professionalism when talking about promotions, so it's all well and good to send text messages and so on, but when it's on site in the store, unfortunately, there is no one there, and they can't even reimburse you because supposedly it's in cash. I find this unacceptable given that it's the cashier and the saleswomen who are at fault. In addition, the staff are very unpleasant. I really regret that Chaussea, which is located in the Pont Rouge area of ​​Carcassonne, is closing because they were very friendly and took the time to give good advice and were helpful. Goodbye. (Original) Bonjour je suis allé à Chaussea dans la zone de salvaza je suis déçu vraiment car déjà d'une part pour demander conseil on a l'impression qu'on les dérange suite à ça on a l'impression qu'ils veulent vite se débarrasser des clients suite à ça pour mon fils j'ai trouvé une paire de sandales un peu trop grande mais j'ai pas pu trop demander de l'aide car on en avait l'impression de déranger suite ça arrivait à la caisse on me dit oui vous avez le droit à 25 % pour votre anniversaire 45 jours sauf qu'on me fait payer mais on me fait pas la réduction le problème est que il y a un manque de professionnalisme et un manque de professionnalisme pour parler de promotion alors c'est bien beau d'envoyer des SMS et ect mais quand c'est sur place en magasin malheureusement il n'y a plus personne de plus on ne peut même pas vous rembourser car soi-disant c'est en espèces je trouve cela inadmissible étant donné que c'est la caissière et les vendeuses qui sont en tort. de plus le personnel très désagréable je regrette beaucoup que Chaussea qui se trouve dans la zone du Pont Rouge à Carcassonne ferme car eux ils étaient très aimables prenez le temps de bien conseiller et serviable au revoir.

What a shame that the rude staff here do not value English customers when our Euros are the same as everyone else’s. We have had a lovely week in Carcassonne which was soured by visiting this shop on the last evening. I was watched like a hawk from the moment I walked in. No purchase was made despite lovely produce. Thankfully my wife argues in French as well as English and rightly so. In a world where online reviews are everything they will soon learn they can’t afford to be jumped up snobs. Avoid like the plague none of the nice products are worth their attitude.

Well I love to cook great ingredients and enjoy great wine and you would be hard pressed to find a better place in Europe or the US. I visited on three occasions, spent a fair bit and found the team helpful, friendly and attentive. If you like to cook and are visiting Carcassonne you MUST visit here.

This place is a must if you are in Carcassonne. Fine wine, charcuterie, kitchen utensils and supplies, knives, beautiful items in a very densely packed store.

Great service! As we asked for tax-refund, they tried in no time to apply for an account online and sent us the document we needed to our hotel. Many thanks for all the efforts!

We paid a visit to this shop today, and we're made to feel extremely uncomfortable by the member of staff serving us,| questioned the edge of the Brie looking dry (it obviously hadn't been cut lately ) and he arrogantly ignored my comment, all items we purchased led to annoyance by him, as we were not buying large portions,to the point of one item,which when I asked for a little less than he had placed in the pot, he rolled his eyes in disgust, NOT the way of expecting return visitors,he clearly does not appreciate that not ALL people warrant buying large quantities,and NOONE likes to be made to feel so unworthy ,especially when parting with hard earned cash!!

I had an exquisite experience at this gourmet store! The ambiance was charming, and the aroma of French delicacies was delightful. The selection of wines, cheeses, caviar, whisky, and local French products was unparalleled, and the staff's knowledge and friendliness were remarkable. They guided me to perfect wine and cheese pairings with ease. The gourmet delights were exceptional, with each item carefully curated for the best flavors. The choices of wines and olive oils were extensive, making it a haven for culinary enthusiasts. This store truly captures the essence of French cuisine and culture, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking the finest French flavors. Bravo!

Awful shopping experience. Admittedly lovely items in this shop, but our experience was tainted as the staff follow you very closely like you're a shoplifter. Making us feel very uncomfortable. We were also short-changed by €5 and the manager refused to even entertain the fact. Ps. Edit in response to reply below: this is an outright lie. We remember the instance very clearly, we we given 2x€2 and 1x50c. She left due to frustration, but I stayed to try and sort it out, but there was no willingness from the management to even consider they may have got it wrong. This highlights the sheer snobbery and dreadful customer service you'll experience at this shop. Proceed with caution!

Staff abit rude

(Translated by Google) After returning a defective polo shirt and waiting over a month, the sales staff were unable to provide any information about my return and refused a refund. It was a birthday gift. I was told to contact Lacoste myself, without an order number or even contact information. I'm not blaming anyone in particular, but I've noticed deplorable, even shameful, service, and the feeling of being taken for an idiot. (Original) Après avoir ramené un polo défectueux et patienté plus d’un mois, les vendeurs sont dans l’incapacité de me donner des renseignements sur mon retour et refusent un remboursement, il s’agissait d’un cadeau d’anniversaire. On me dit de contacter moi même Lacoste sans numéro de commande ni même coordonnées. Je ne met la faute sur personne en particulier mais je constate un service déplorable voire honteux, l’impression d’être pris pour un idiot

(Translated by Google) The store displays 7 p.m., but the cash registers close at 6:50 p.m. I don't know if the owner is aware of this. Please post the correct opening hours. We drive across town only to find the doors closed. Nothing better to scare off the competition. (Original) Le magasin affiche 19h mais a 18h50 les caisses ferments. Je ne sais pas si le propriétaire des lieux est au courant. Affichez les horaires corrects svp. On traverse la ville pour au final trouver portes closes. Rien de mieux pour faire fuir chez la concurrence.

(Translated by Google) One star because it's the minimum we can give... I purchased a pair of Salomon shoes for 160 euros on August 12th. In mid-September, the strap broke after only four uses. The receptionist was very rude, not to say haughty, and the salesperson made disparaging remarks like "shoes in very poor condition." We are sorry to have used the shoes and therefore that they are dusty! We were very disappointed by this reception because we simply wanted to know if there was a warranty procedure given this recent purchase. However, we commend the friendliness and kindness of the security guard, who takes the time to greet customers at the entrance and exit, unlike the receptionists! (Original) Une étoile car c’est le minimum que l’on puisse cocher .. Achat d’une paire de salomon à 160 euros le 12 août, mi septembre la sangle est cassée après seulement 4 utilisations .L’hôtesse d’accueil a été très désagréable pour ne pas dire hautaine et le vendeur du rayon qui se permet des remarques désobligeantes « chaussures en très mauvais état » Nous sommes navrés d’avoir utilisé les chaussures et donc que celles ci soient poussiéreuses ! Fort déçus par cet accueil car nous souhaitions simplement savoir s’il existait une procédure de garantie compte tenu de cet achat récent. Nous saluons en revanche l’amabilité et la gentillesse du chef de sécurité qui prend la peine de saluer les clients à l’entrée et à la sortie contrairement aux hôtesses !

Very happy with the choice to stay at the Carcassonne townhouse. It is perfectly located between the Cite and the newer town, with views of the river from the room. Ratchel and mark were great hosts, and recommend places to eat and visit. The breakfast was a delight, different each morning, but always with fresh located produce. In all a fantastic townhouse, in a wonderful location.

An amazing Town House accommodation. Everything perfect. Rachel is a lovely host, very helpful with recommendations. Breakfast amazing. Thank you Rachel and co. We will recommend you to friends and family.

We have just returned from a one week stay at this beautiful Townhouse. The house is a characteristic southern French building that the owners have restored with great respect. The Townhouse is perfectly located right between the new and old town, meaning you can walk to either the old or new town within a few minutes. We stayed in the heritage suite and this is a large loft consisting of bedroom with a French balcony (large enough to stand on but not to sit on), living room and a bathroom. From the balcony we had a wonderful view of the old town. We loved that we got new towels every day, thank you for that, and the bed was also made nicely. The hostess is wonderful. She makes a different, delicious breakfast every day and is always very interested in what you're planning to do or have done the day in advance. She also has excellent tips on what to do and/or see in Carcassonne and the surrounding area. We also received very good tips from the hostess about restaurants in Carcassonne and these tips were great, we enjoyed this restaurant very much. It was also very nice to hear that the hostess had been on holiday near our home in the Netherlands a month ago (1200 kilometers away but it is a small world after all :) ) The room has no air conditioning but has 2 large fans. We had very hot weather the first few days (up to 41 degrees centigrade) so we needed these fans but it still was very warm for my girlfriend to sleep the first nights even though the bed was very good. Luckly after a few days he became better for her :). We can recommend this townhouse to everybody for visiting Carcassonne as well as the surrounding area of Carcassonne.

Just the perfect location, room and hosts, 100% recommended. From our bedroom (room 5, 2nd floor) we had a view across the river to the old city, beautiful. Directions were good and self check-in was simple. The welcome next (and every) morning was warm and the breakfast each day was delicious and slightly varied. Breads, fruits, pastries, cheese meat / salmon, plus juice, tea & coffee, eggs and cereal if wished. It was nice to have chilled water in the fridge and tea available during the day, as well as the coffee maker in the room's own lounge. The old city was only a short walk away across the bridge - we visited every day for dinner or sightseeing. And the modern town is lovely too - a stroll to the station and canal for a canal boat ride, or wander around town, the museum and shops. A lovely stay - 2 things to note: the breeze in September was chilly, so bring a wrap or jacket for evenings. And if there's a restaurant you want to eat at, book ahead!

A gorgeous place to stay between the citadel and the town - easy walk to both. Rachel is a perfect host, her breakfasts were so good and the house is stunning. Beautifully set up and very relaxing. Plenty of local knowledge and recommendations too. Highly recommend.

If you plan to visit Carcassone, I highly recommend this place Location: near the center of town but far enough to have peace and quiet. It is farther from the castle but is still a doable walk. Parking: we got to park our car right in front of the door of the townhouse Breakfast: prepared by host Rachel: fruits with yogurt; bread from the local Boulangerie, cheese and cold cuts, cereal, coffee or tea, and juice Rooms: generous size. Large shower and bathroom, strong water pressure and hot water. Ambience: love the old feel of the hotel and the friendly welcome of Mark and Rachel. Felt like home away from home.

Beautiful rooms, friendly service (by the owner!), delicious breakfast (also by the owner!), a short walk from everything in Carcassonne and with an unbeatable view.

We visit Carcassonne often, but this tour took us on a unique journey into the city's fascinating and rich history, introducing us to wines that we'd never experienced before, and, of course chocolate! Absolutely top notch tour. Joyce is a wonderfully informed and gracious guide, who ensured everyone on the tour got the most out of it. It's a great way to get to know the city in a more intimate way. We loved it!

We loved this tour! Brent was a great guide sharing some history about Carcassonne and making stops for chocolates & wine. Our final stop was a pizzeria where we sampled 3 wines and had a delicious pizza. He is knowledgeable and you can tell he enjoys his job! A nice way to spend the morning. I’m a non-drinker and he thoughtfully stopped and picked up some sparkling tea for me. Highly recommend!

What a brilliant way to spend an afternoon. We met at the allotted meeting point, where Joyce gave the tour some historical and scientific context, and then wandered into the Bastide to visit some great little chocolate and wine shops, all of which were off the beaten path and I never would have found in my own (despite having visited Carcassonne many times). It was all so relaxed and friendly, like going for a mooch around with friends but with the benefit of local knowledge. Crucially, there was a good mix of sitting/walking time, so I didn't feel worn out at the end like I often do on walking tours. Can't recommend highly enough!

Amazing tour for those who are excited about chocolate and wine. Especially wine. The guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about everything he showed us. And meeting real merchants and business owners was another bonus of this tour. We really enjoyed it and definitely would recommend to others who visit this amazing town Carcassonne. Thank you Brent!

Myself and three friends had a wonderful weekend in Carcassonne in September. Our decision to book Brent's tour was definitely a good one. This tour is informative, fun and a great introduction to the city. We sampled some gorgeous chocolates and drank some very nice wine! Also the pizza was amazing. Thank you Brent for a lovely morning walking around Carcassonne.

I went on this tour with my mum and we both had such a wonderful time. Not only did we learn the fascinating history of Carcassonne, we ate the most delicious chocolates and drank some fantastic wines. Brent is an amazing guide and incredibly thoughtful with the touches that he brings to the tour. To anybody visiting Carcassonne, I can’t recommend this highly enough!

Myself and friends spent the most lovely afternoon with Joyce on our wine and chocolate tasting walking tour of Carcassonne yesterday. Joyce made it unique interesting and memorable. Her approach was fun knowledgeable and charming. The foods wines and chocolates we tasted fantastic and finishing the tour in a beautiful B and B with gorgeous food and wine made it very special. Thank you Steph x

Farmers market in cute square. Food is fresh and local. Prices are generally good but look around before buying as there is variation. If staying in an apartment great place to pickup some food.

A lovely square in the Citi center of Carcasonne where we had our lunch. Very relaxing place we enjoyed the warm weather.

(Translated by Google) Every Tuesday and Thursday morning, you can find all the fresh produce you need at reasonable prices (lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, garlic, onions, parsley, honey, sausages, olives, wine, and various fruits... in short, everything you need for a good meal). Very convenient for those who live near Place Carnot or the surrounding area. Very competitive prices compared to the nearby supermarket. Plus, it supports families. Behind the stalls, there are families who wake up very early to serve you on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Thank you. (Original) Tous les mardis et les jeudis matin, on trouve tout ce qu’il faut en produits frais a des prix raisonnables (de la salade, des tomates, du concombre, des courgettes de ail, des oignons, du persil, du miel, des saucissons, des olives, du vin et divers fruits… bref tout ce qu il faut pour un bon repas Très très pratique pour ceux qui habitent près de la place Carnot ou au alentours Des prix très compétitifs par rapport au super marché des alentours. De plus, ça fait vivre des familles . Derrière les étales il y’a des familles qui se réveillent très tôt pour vous servir le mardi et le jeudi. Merci à vous

(Translated by Google) Market with approximately 20 stalls. Small but very nice and quiet where you can buy everything to cook. There are about 3 stalls to drink wine, beer or coffee. (Original) Mercado de unos aprox 20 puestos. Pequeño pero muy bonito y tranquilo donde se puede comprar de todo para cocinar. Hay unos 3 puestos para beber vino, cerveza o un café.

(Translated by Google) Very tasty meat, excellent fennel vegetables, the suggested wine was superb. Service very relaxed, funny and uncomplicated... We felt very comfortable (Original) Sehr leckeres Fleisch, hervorragendes Fenchelgemüse dazu, der vorgeschlagene Wein dazu superb. Service sehr locker, witzig unkompliziert... Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt

(Translated by Google) This small market on Place Carnot offers a few stalls with essential products: vegetables, eggs, honey, meat, breads and pastries. All these market gardeners are organic producers. It is held three times a week (Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday) and pleasantly complements the large Saturday market which is held along the boulevard near the Porte des Jacobins as well as the covered market in the halls. (Original) Ce petit marché sur la place Carnot propose quelques échoppes avec les produits essentiels : légumes, œufs, miel, viande, pains et viennoiseries. Tous ces maraichers sont des producteurs bio. Il se tient trois fois par semaine (mardi, jeudi et samedi) et complète agréablement le grand marché du samedi qui se tient le long du boulevard à la hauteur de la porte des Jacobins ainsi que le marché couvert des halles.

(Translated by Google) Too small market and closed on August 15. We wanted to have a drink on the canoe square before leaving and no bar wanted to serve us as the tables were reserved for lunch. The city of Carcassonne has a lot to do for tourism. Very disappointing (Original) Trop petit marché et fermé le 15 août. Nous avons voulu boire un verre sur la place canot avant de repartir et aucun bar n'a voulu nous servir les tables étant réservé pour les repas du midi. La ville de Carcassonne à beaucoup à faire pour le tourisme. Très décevant

Chocolat and ice cream store

Great chocolates

(Translated by Google) I liked the shop, very well decorated with all kinds of chocolate, as I am a real chocolate gourmand. The welcome from the young man was friendly, personally I recommend trying the chocolate from Jeff de Bruges. They fell... 😊😉🍫 (Original) J'ai aimé la boutique très bien décoré avec toutes sortes de chocolat, moi qui suis une vrai gourmande de chocolat. L'acceuil du jeune homme étais sympathique, personnellement je recommande d'aller goûté les chocolat de chez Jeff de Bruges. Il sont a tombé... 😊😉🍫

(Translated by Google) Italian ice cream, good, but does not justify 3.80 euros for the equivalent of two (small) scoops. The reception? Rudimentary. While, with my ice cream cone in one hand, my bag and my wallet in the other, I tried to leave the store, the salesman, standing like a candle in front of the door, did not make a move to 'open. It is true that his eye was quite reminiscent of that of a cow in the meadow, of those watching the trains go by. Jeff de Bruges should organize good manners training for his employees. As for the chocolates (low prices) I find them too gassy and too sweet. But that's a matter of taste. (Original) Crème glacée à l'italienne, bonne, mais ne justifie pas 3,80 euros pour l'équivalent de deux (petites) boules. L'accueil ? Rudimentaire. Alors que, mon cornet de glace dans une main, mon sac et mon porte-monnaie dans l'autre, je tentais de quitter le magasin, le vendeur, planté comme un cierge devant la porte, n'a pas fait un geste pour l'ouvrir. Il est vrai que son oeil évoquait assez celui d'une vache au pré, de celles qui regardent passer les trains. Jeff de Bruges devrait organiser des stages de bonnes manières pour ses employés. Quant aux chocolats (prix peu élevés) je les trouve trop gas et trop sucrés. Mais là, c'est affaire de goût.

(Translated by Google) Excellent ice cream! Good value for money and customers are very well received in this establishment. The ice creams are artisanal and are less expensive than the ice creams from the city of Carcassonne which are not necessarily artisanal ice creams. I highly recommend! (Original) Glaces excellentes ! Bon rapport qualité prix et puis les clients sont super bien accueillis dans cet établissement. Les glaces sont artisanales et sont moins coûteux que les glaces de la cité de Carcassonne qui ne sont pas forcément des glaces artisanales. Je recommande fortement !

(Translated by Google) Small place on the main street. Located right next to the Carmelite church which is undergoing restoration and is worth a visit. The ice creams are simple and unremarkable, but as a chocolatier it is very complete. The price is high, but so is the quality. The treatment is friendly and cordial. (Original) Local petit en carrer principal. Situat just al costat de l'església dels carmelites que està en procés de restauració i val la pena visitar. Els gelats sensills i no destacables, però com a xocolateria és molt completa. El preu és elevat, però la calitat també. El tracte és amable i cordial.

(Translated by Google) Well located store, customers are well received. A lot of very good products. Recommended for lovers of good chocolate. (Original) Magasin bien placé, la clientèle est bien accueillie. Un grand chose de produits très bon. A recommander pour les amateurs de bon chocolat.

Lovely shop with beautiful aromas. All natural and hand made products which makes it unique. Very helpful owner too. Thank you

Beautiful scented oils and handmade pottery diffusers, unique and made by local couple.

(Translated by Google) I discovered this shop a few months ago during a visit to the city, the person who explained the concept to me was very pleasant! I placed an order on the site for Christmas and was pleasantly surprised when I was offered a selection of boxes by photo so that I could choose the one that suited me best. The package was very well packaged and just opening the box it smelled delicious. The products are top notch, the ceramic box is superb and it's a pleasure to wash your hands with the exfoliating roller. I recommend! (Original) J'ai découvert cette boutique il y a quelques mois lors d'une visite de la cité, la personne m'ayant expliqué le concept avait été très agréable! J'ai passé une commande sur le site pour Noël et ai été agréablement surprise quand on m'a proposé une sélection de boite par photo pour que je puisse choisir celle qui me convenait le mieux. Le colis était très bien emballé et rien qu'à l'ouverture du carton ça sentait délicieusement bon. Les produits sont au top, la boite en céramique est superbe et c'est un plaisir de se laver les mains avec le galet exfoliant. Je recommande!

(Translated by Google) Thanks to the Cité workshop, I was able to get my children one of the Mother's Day gift boxes, which we had seen during our visit in April, and the manager was fantastic, from the selection to the delivery at my home! Thanks again! (Original) Grâce à l’atelier de la Cité, j’ai pu faire offrir à mes enfants un des coffrets envoyés pour la fête des mères, que nous avions pu voir lors de notre visite en avril, et la gérante a été au top, du choix, à la réception chez moi, elle a été fantastique ! Merci encore

(Translated by Google) A superb discovery! Clay soaps are of exceptional quality, with delicious scents that leave skin feeling soft and fresh. They also offer diffusers for indoor rooms based on good quality essential oils. The scent is both subtle and captivating, perfect for creating a soothing atmosphere at home. Special mention for the warm welcome from the sellers, always attentive and offering good advice. A real pleasure to come to this local store. I highly recommend. (Original) Une superbe découverte ! Les savons à l'argile sont d'une qualité exceptionnelle, avec des parfums délicieux qui laissent la peau douce et fraîche. Ils proposent également des diffuseurs pour pièces d’intérieur à base d'huiles essentielles de bonne qualité. L'odeur est à la fois subtile et envoûtante, parfaite pour créer une ambiance apaisante chez soi. Mention spéciale pour l'accueil chaleureux des vendeurs, toujours à l'écoute et de bon conseil. Un vrai plaisir de venir dans cette boutique locale. Je recommande vivement.

(Translated by Google) Intrigued by the clay placed in front of the store, next to the small fountain provided for this purpose, I decide to wash my hands. And then it was love at first sight! Thank you for the clear and detailed explanations, the excellent welcome and this great time! Very good ++ mention for local crafts 💜. Caresses in Kalmos 😉 (Original) Intriguée par l’argile placée devant le magasin, à côté de la petite fontaine prévue à cet effet, je décide de me laver les mains. Et là, c’est le coup de foudre ! Merci pour les explications claires et détaillées, l’excellent accueil et ce bon moment ! Mention très bien ++ pour l’artisanat local 💜. Caresses à Kalmos 😉

(Translated by Google) A very nice discovery during our visit to Carcassonne..... A passionate man who took the time to explain his work to us and how he got there with his wife. Quality products that have found their place in my home. Thank you for everything.... And good luck. (Original) Une très belle découverte lors de notre visite à Carcassonne ..... Un homme passionné qui a pris le temps de nous expliquer son travail et comment il en est arrivé là avec sa femme . Des produits de qualités qui ont trouvé leurs places chez moi . Merci pour tout .... Et bonne continuation.

(Translated by Google) Glad to have worked with you. We were very well supported from the start of the project to its installation. We will be sure to come back to you for a next project! (Original) Ravie d'avoir travaillé avec vous. Nous avons été fortement bien accompagnés du début du projet à la pose de celui-ci. Nous ne manquerons pas de revenir vers vous pour un prochain projet!

(Translated by Google) Impeccable, thank you very much for your work! (Original) Impeccable merci beaucoup pour votre travail !

(Translated by Google) good salesman, good advice, taking measurements... meh, site monitoring... meh, cash the check before the end of the work, called me 2 months ago to come and bring me 2 ordered parts Besides, I'm still waiting. But the kitchen is well thought out. (Original) bonne commerciale, de bon conseil, prise de cotes... bof, suivi de chantier .... bof, encaisse le chèque avant la fin des travaux, m'a appelé il y a 2 mois pour passer m'amener 2 pièces commandées en plus, j'attends encore. Mais la cuisine est bien pensée.

(Translated by Google) Professionalism Quality cuisine Value for money more than correct Deadlines respected I recommend without hesitation (Original) Professionnalisme Cuisine de qualité Rapport qualité prix plus que correct Délais respectés Je recommande sans hésiter

The staff is truly rude and arrogant. Don’t recommend to enter in the galerie.

Never met someone so rude. Stay away and enjoy the day.

(Translated by Google) The staff is very rude and impolite, certainly not a nice place to buy art (Original) El personal es muy maleducado, y descortés, desde luego no es un lugar agradable para comprar arte

Conveniently situated for Tesla superchargers. Plenty of refreshment options.

A very good large supermarket with all you need.

Ocean . Absolutely nightmare finding what you want. Poorly set out. One thing we wanted was A5 envelopes. Massive isle with stationary. But we found envelopes in the pool supplies section. ?. There were other things placed in obscure places. No Gluten free beer though.

Excellent location, free wifi, free spacious and clean toilets, free special dedicated area with seats where customers can sit down and relax. Also, a few small shops around the shopping centre with an ID photo and photocopy machine, ATM and florist. Very large parking with the airport and a McDonalds only a few steps away.

Nice shopping centre with a huge Auchan supermarket. Great parking and a gas station. Near to the airport liked it a lot.

Great place open on Sundays which is a blessing as not many are

An improvement now that Auchan is the main store with smaller stores coming back in the arcae

The art was incredibly beautiful. Everything is handmade with love and you can tell.

What a beautiful and inspiring store! We were wondering around Carcassone and found this ceramics shop. It was run by--or featuring (I'm not quite sure which)--20 women ceramists. Everything was beautiful, and each ceramist's work different from the next. We were looking for something special to take away from our trip that isn't the usual tourist trinkets. We came away with two of the most beautiful mugs and a large salad bowl from two different artists. We will treasure these items. The woman managing the store was super helpful. The items were wrapped really well for travelling, and we were provided cards for each of the artists that we bought from. The prices were extremely reasonable. Highly recommend you visit Cité Potière if you are looking for something special to remember your time in the Occitanie region or for unique gifts to bring home.

Absolutely loved this place! Fantastic idea to regroup all the potiers here, amazing skills and a must visit!

(Translated by Google) It is an associative type pottery and ceramics store in the middle of the medieval city of Carcassonne. At the moment the artists are women: the styles are different, the prices are affordable... The store is superbly laid out, pleasant, and the advice from the person who runs the store (one of the artists) is as relevant as it is impactful. sensitivity. To have. (Original) C'est un magasin de type associatif de poteries et de céramiques en pleine cité médiévale de Carcassonne. En ce moment les artistes sont des femmes : les styles sont différents, les tarifs sont abordables... Le magasin est superbement agencé, agréable, et les conseils de la personne qui tient la boutique (une des artistes) sont aussi pertinents qu'empreint de sensibilité. A voir.

(Translated by Google) Gorgeous designer items on display. Delighted with my purchase. A very friendly lady running the shop. Go for it (Original) Articles de créateurs magnifiques exposés. Ravi de mon achat. Une dame très sympathique tenant la boutique. Foncez

(Translated by Google) I'm passionate about pottery, and I was delighted to see this shop, which showcases the work of several potters. The styles are diverse. I fell in love with a pot in shades of green by Raphaëlle Daguier. (Original) Je suis passionnée de poteries et j’ai été ravie de voir cette boutique qui regroupe les oeuvres de plusieurs potiers. Les styles sont différents. J’ai porté mon dévolu sur un pot aux nuances de vert de Raphaëlle Daguier.
