Castelnaudary France tourist information
Castelnaudary is in the Aude department of Languedoc-Roussillon, between Toulouse and Carcassonne.
The town is known for several things:
- it is said to be the birthplace of the cathars
- it is said to be the birthplace of cassoulet (much more impressive)!!
- it is an important port on the Canal du Midi. You will see pleasure boats tied up here nowadays, as the canal is very popular with those taking a barge holiday in France.
The section of the town around the Grand Bassin - the old 'canal port' - is the most impressive part of Castelnaudary, although the rest of this pleasant yet untouristy town also deserves that you stop for an explore.
