The Neighborhood:
Limoux acts a service town for the Aude valley and so is both historical and quite lively. The Limoux Carnival is over 500 years old and runs from late January to early April. The church and the bridges are from the medieval times as are some of the hoses on the river. The Friday market is a great place to buy local fruit, vegetables, bread, eggs, chicken, duck, cheese and wine. There are a large number of restaurants in the centre of town open for lunch and dinner.
Getting Around:
The train travels several times a day from Carcassone and buses serve the upper Aude valley. It is possible to hire a car in Limoux or at an airport either Carcassone eller Toulouse - to avoid disappointment please book on line if you are traveling in the period mid-June to mid-September.
