About the area

It takes around two hours to fly from the UK to Carcassonne, a town in southern France with an old walled city at its heart. Once occupied by the Romans and famous for the medieval themed board game of the same name, Carcassonne now welcome loads of tourists and expats particularly those from the UK. And it’s not hard to see why, with its slower pace of life and gorgeous Mediterranean climate, all within reach of both the beaches of the Med and the hiking trails and ski runs of the Pyrenees mountains.
