Where to stay in Carcassonne?

During your trip to Carcassonne, the best place to stay is in the city's center, near Place Carnot.

Go to the lower city for shopping or take a walk down Rue Clemenceau. If you want to hike, head on over to Lake Cavayere and be sure to visit some of the nearby villages.
