Aude tourist information
where to go - what to see - what to do
Aude is known for its wine, castles and abbeys. Often referred to as 'the land of the Cathars' it is here that you'll find the unconquerable mountain sites of Rennes-le-Chateau and Peyrepertuse.
The coast provides a sharp contrast with miles of sandy beaches for family holidays and isolated inlets for those looking to escape the crowds.
The Canal du Midi also offers lots of family fun and is suitable for barge holidays or canal boat trips.
Go to the medieval city of Carcassonne as well as Narbonne with its Gothic cathedral.
- Carcassonne - the fairy tale city of Carcassonne is a turreted fortress that was at the centre of numerous religious conflicts - a good introduction to the history of the Cathars who made the city their stronghold.
- The Alsace Route du Vin -discover hilltop villages and medieval towns that are surrounded by vineyards on the wine route that runs from Marlenheim to Thann.
- Gruissan Plage - where the film Betty Blue was made, with wide sandy beaches and colourful houses on stilts.
- Wine tasting - Portel-des-Corbieres - Chateau Lastours is a good spot for sampling full-bodied, intense red wines of the Corbieres region.
