    City

    • Carcassonne

    • Distance to city: 13 miles

    • Directions to property:
      Follow the D3 through Fontiès-d’Aude, Monze, Pradelles-en Val. 16.5 kms from joining this road you approach a right-hand bend with a traffic island, signposted Montlaur to the left. Take this and the village is 2 kms. Follow the road into the village and keep on this road. In the village the l’hôtel de ville and the school is on your left – a large very old classic building followed by the church after a few more metres on the left. Carry on over the small bridge. Immediately after the first building on the left, a tall brown shuttered house on the corner, there is a small entrance on the left. This is our entrance and it has high walls on each side. Black iron gates face you and you can park in front of these to unload.


    Airport

    • Toulouse, France (TLS-Blagnac) 60 miles

    • Directions to property:
      From Carcassonne airport Follow the Autoroute signs for the A61. As you come out of the car-hire car parks you have to turn right, go to round-a-bout and then go back in the direction you have just come from (It should be signposted A61). About four hundred metres bear right and join a major road, at next large roundabout keep right and head for the A61 péage. Collect your ticket, no charge yet, and take the Autoroute in the direction of Narbonne (not Toulouse). You need to take first exit off the A61, junction 24, also to Carcassonne. Péage charge is 60 cents. Between the junctions you will see the castle to your left – very spectacular. Take the road (N113) to the right in the direction of Trebes. Just a short distance (it is easy to miss), turn/bear right off the N113 onto the D3, in the direction of Fontiès-d’Aude and Lagrasse. Follow directions to property above
