When to go?

The Languedoc benefits from 300 days of sunshine a year, so is an attractive destination all year round. July tends to be the hottest month, coinciding with the music and arts festival, much of which is free and held in the heart of town. The Bastille Day fireworks in the middle of the month are spectacular. Other notable events include the Spanish week at the end of August, the wine festivals in May and October and the Christmas fair in December. May and June are usually sunny and less crowded, as is September and October.

Save to favouritesPrintMail42 Rue Victor HugoWhen was the last time you felt totally spoilt? Exactly. So how appealing is the idea of being met from a flight, driven to an old French townhouse, shown into a stunning suite and relaxing while your hosts serve apéritifs? Then bring canapés. Then serve you dinner, clean up, and leave. Yes, you might get that service in a 5* hotel, but here the entire place is yours and you get the front door key. It’s like borrowing a very stylish flat, and not having to lift a finger while you're there. This is what Peter and Debrah Woodcock offer at 42 rue Victor Hugo, although you can self-cater if you prefer. Their [r:FR056:apartments] are beautiful and private, with all the luxury details you’d want - and then some: a pre-loaded iPod, a fridge full of wine, fresh flowers, 400tc bedlinen. It's an ultra-stylish place to unwind, and a great base to explore historic Carcassonne, with its fairytale walled city of drawbridges, towers and cobbled streets. Come with your partner and spend a romantic long weekend enjoying each other’s company and being thoroughly spoilt.
