I spent a long week-end in Aude; First, I went to the now famous fiesta in Leucate. I was amazed at the happy crowd and varied programme . There were as many people as in summer festivals!
As the evening went on, we decided to stay for' the night in Leucate-plage ; Dominic, a dynamic and friendly young Englishman, has newly renovated and refurbished flats, very near the beach, at very reasonable prices ande available from now on. I recommend it : http://www.petitsecret.net/
Then we went on to Couiza, to have lunch at the "chateau des ducs de Joyeuse": it's a real Renaissance chateau, in good condition; it is now a hotel and restaurant and worth the "détour".
We also went and stayed in Castelnaudary, at the "hotel du Canal": a good place for a restful time; we enjoyed nice peaceful walks along the canal du Midi, and we had nice and cheap meals at the restaurant "ô fil de l'eau".
I'm in the P.O. and Aude, although a neighbour", has a really different feeling. No wonder they are ennemies!
