We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sylvie’s house. It was pretty hot when we were there and it was lovely to return to a cool sanctuary after a day of exploring the area. Comfortable bed, a great shower, super effective air-conditioning, great wifi connection. Well equipped kitchen and we were able to host two friends visiting from Toulouse comfortably. The area is lovely and quiet but is only a 5-7min walk to the centre of Carcassonne and a pleasant 20min walk to the old City of Carcassonne. We had a nice meal at Brasserie 4 Temps and an interesting experience at Cathars Restaurant (meat cooked over an open fire) but our favourite was Cafe de la Comedie, friendly, relaxing service, great food and reasonably priced too - it also has a vegan menu which was great for our our friends. We would definitely return.
