You can have a great Carcassonne trip at any budget.

Stays

  • Bastide: Better value and easy access.
  • Cité: Atmosphere and night walks right outside.
  • Book early for summer weekends.

Meals

  • Lunch in the Bastide for calmer rooms.
  • Early dinners to beat crowds in high season.
  • Look for daily menus for value.

Note: Cassoulet is hearty. Plan a lighter walk after.


Balance convenience with character — both are available.
