Local festivals - the summer
The Carcassonne Festival takes place throughout July, both in the Cité and in the Bastide St. Louis. Many of the events take place in the Place Carnot and can be viewed from the apartment. The programme contains opera, dance, theatre, jazz, salsa, country and western and other concerts, folklore, street-theatre and comedy. In August a re-enactment of the days of the troubadours takes place. Knights and horses in full costume, along with processions of jugglers, acrobats, mime artists, gymnasts, dancers and musicians will entertain you with jousting and processions. There is an organ festival that takes place from mid-June to mid-September, with concerts on the famous organ at the Basilica of Saint-Nazaire in the Cite. The concerts are free and take place every Sunday and on all public holidays during this period. And on Bastille Day (14th July) there is a truly spectacular firework display - the Cité looks as though it is being set on fire with 25 minutes of fireworks.
Local festivals - the rest of the year
There is a Christmas market in the Place Carnot with a stage, a skating rink (3 euros an hour!) with a huge ice spectacular one of the evenings, artificial icicles on the fountain, and artificial snow on Christmas trees and the wooden stalls. There is a huge ferris wheel with views of the town and Cite just outside the Bastide walls, sledging, trampolines, fireworks and many other activities including the Foie Gras fair the Sunday before Christmas. It is quite magic, and clients who have been there over Christmas have been enchanted. There are three big fairs in Carcassonne during the year, on 6th March, 6th September and the Fair of Ste Catherine on 25th November. These fairs are huge events, with crafts and produce from the region and elsewhere. The Dame Carcas Pig Fair is at the beginning of March and at the end of March there are the antique fairs. The flea market takes place in September each year in the streets of La Trivalle, the district directly underneath the Cite.

Featured Review
Much more than a holiday rental...
Shelley & Simon, Enfield, North London
Review Submitted: August 16, 2008, Date of stay: August, 2007
I'm ashamed to admit that I hadn't heard of Carcassonne when we booked our holiday last summer. It was all a bit last minute - my other half had finally given in to a holiday in France. I wanted to book something quickly before he changed his mind and insisted we went further afield. The pictures of 'Les Plantanes' looked so wonderfully French that I had to build it into the trip somehow so we ended up taking the 3 nights that Caroline still had available between other bookings.
The other reviews adequately describe how wonderful the apartment is but my main memory is how wonderful Caroline was; taking such a late booking and making sure the keys arrived - even making the arrangements while she herself was away on holiday! You can't get more helpful than that.
Not having been to France before, the notes in the apartment were a huge help - especially the directions to the internet cafe! My lasting impressions were the cleanliness and home comforts, allowing us to truly relax and unwind.
Since that trip, we've been to Carcassonne six times! We love the town of course but the other reason for so many trips is that we've now bought our own apartment there. None of this would have happened if it were not for Caroline and the inspiration her wonderful home from home provided.
Owner's response:
Well, I couldn't be more pleased with Shelley and Simon's review. Our thanks to them for such an accolade. It was a pleasure to help, and I'm delighted they now have their own place in this wonderful city. May they get as much pleasure from it as we do from our apartments.
