Summer is just around the corner and you may already be planning your camping holiday in the Aude to enjoy the pleasures of the off-season. With family or friends, you’ll be immersed in a relaxing atmosphere in a campsite with Occitan charm. Is the suitcase ready? Enjoy a well-deserved vacation in Cathar country!
The pleasure of discovering Languedoc-Roussillon in the off-season!
Camping in the Aude in the off-season means you can enjoy visit the Cathar castles and the hikes that go with them, in ideal weather conditions. Winter is already far away, and summer is getting closer by the day, so you’ll benefit from more than pleasant weather to discover the Aude’s sumptuous landscapes and numerous relics at your own pace. Walking or cycling along the Canal Canal du Midi or in the surrounding area, between pine forest and garrigue, become a real pleasure! So, if you’re on vacation in the Aude over the Pentecost weekend, you can join in with friendly hikes adapted to all levels thanks to the FestiRando event from June 8 to 10. For example, you can get to know the Montagne Noire better by setting off from Caunes-Minervois, a charming village just 30 km from the campsite. The historic towns of Narbonne and Carcassonne, not far from the campsite, are also well worth a visit. You’ll be able to stroll through the fortified city in a timeless, yet quieter atmosphere, as most tourists arrive in July and August. And if you’re a fan of Médoc gastronomy, don’t miss the very first Fête du vin rosé et des fromages, on June 22 in Carcassonne!
