House & Home

Elegant townhouse with added comfort.

The balconied façade of the Townhouse looks out over the medieval Cité and riverside park, and hides a tranquil courtyard. Built in 1850, the Townhouse is newly restored and decorated in an eclectic style, combining classic furniture with vintage elements in perfect balance. Step inside and discover beautifully patterned original tiles, glimpses of original wallpaper and vintage French furniture sourced local markets sitting alongside the clean lines of design classics and modern artwork.

Laid back breakfast

Enjoyed indoors or out.

Breakfast can be enjoyed outside in our hidden courtyard, or in our period breakfast room, depending on the weather. Delicious fresh croissants and breads, a daily selection of meats, fish and cheese, plus healthy fruits with yoghurt and museli are offered as a buffet, alongside freshly ground coffee and artisan English teas. The tranquil terrace is a great spot for relaxing with a glass of wine and a good book between forays into the Cité and Bastide Saint-Louis.

Tranquil terrace

An oasis of calm.

A relaxed breakfast can be taken alfresco in our quiet little courtyard surrounded by established olive trees, scented jasmine and trailing vines. Sit under the dappled shade of our pergola or find a sunny spot on our comfy lounge chairs. Hidden away at the rear of the Townhouse, our peaceful terrace is a great spot for relaxing with a good book between forays into the Cité and Bastide Saint-Louis. Before setting out for dinner, head to the terrace to enjoy a chilled glass of wine.

Your hosts

Rachael & Mark.

We look forward to welcoming you to our home and helping you discover magical Carcassonne and the beautiful Occitanie region. We bought the Townhouse back in 2016 and welcomed our first bed and breakfast guests in 2018 after an extensive renovation. Read more about our French adventure on the beautiful Rock My Style blog.
