LUXURY PROPERTY FOR SALE IN CARCASSONNE

Carcassonne, located in the Languedoc region in the South of France, is set a bit back from the coast in a winsome area that enjoys fine wine, interesting historical sites and lavish overseas property. There are two distinct towns that make up Carcassonne: the Cité de Carcassonne on the hill and La Ville Basse below. The medieval citadel that overlooks the village is the second-most visited site in France after the Eiffel Tower, complete with drawbridges, towers and cobbled streets, plus chic shops and restaurants. The citadel became part of the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1997 and is today frequented by visitors.

While the area attracts throngs of tourists, the hamlet below the citadel is smaller, quieter and inhabited mostly by locals. La Ville Basse is a petite, understatedly stylish town with a square in the centre that has charming shops, restaurants and 18th-century fountains. When purchasing your overseas property in Carcassonne, the village is the more private and tranquil area to search for villas, houses and apartments. Browse the weekly food market at Place Carnot or skate on its temporary ice rink during the winter. Foodies should visit Les Halles, a covered food market with all sorts of gallic provisions.
