Carcassonne holidays with a car. If you have hired a car then these are some of the local trips which you might like to make Lac de Cavayere also known as Carcassonne plage. You have to drive across town but after the 1st few times you will have got used to the one way system and it becomes easy. It takes about 25 minutes to get to the Lake and you have swimming and lovely walks all within an easy distance from the house. A great day out. Lovely winding road climbing up into the hills. You are guaranteed that it will be a couple of degrees cooler up here. As well as the views you also have the beautiful lake at Pradelle which is popular for outdoor swimming. The water is clear, clean and there is an alpine feel to the area with the chalets. About 1 hour down the autoroute. The beach is actually to the south of Narbonne so there is an easy ride once you leave the autoroute. There is a wide promenade with good free parking. The sand is very fine which is great. But remember when the wind is blowing the sand can sting! Into the Pyrenees. The road south to Limoux takes you into the foothills of the Pyrenees. Plenty to explore and some great walking West to Mirepoix, Chalabre and Lac de Montbel. One of our favourite days out.Mirepoix with its pottery market and ancient wooden buildings is close to Carcassonne. A little further is Chalabre and Lac de Montbel. A great day out and plenty of variety.
