great location (a bit tricky to get to mind!) with a secure underground car park, for eating we found the restaurants inside the castle a bit "samey" after a few days, if you cross the pedestrian bridge from this hotel it leads to a nice street leading up to the castle, the restaurants along this street were excellent.

Had a lopk. Going via bridge froom ridersrest to carcassone makes it about a 5.5 hour ride. Prob too much for my poor pillion. Might see if i can move hotel dates around...TLS-Moose wrote: ↑May 6th, '18, 00:14 May I suggest you revisit your route?
Well, it's your choice of course, but firstly I'd avoid the autoroutes if you "want to see France", and if you really want to use them then consider going down via the A75 "Meridienne" ....... Choosing the A20/A62 instead is like choosing the M4 from Swindon to Bristol over the A39 Atlantic Coast highway ....... Plus you get to go over the Millau ..... And the Autoroute from there to the med (at Beziers) is simply stupendous (as is most of the bit before).
Otherwise, Carcassonne is a stunning place. Find somewhere in the old city (citadelle) if you can. Can't recommend anywhere as we stayed in a village about 20 miles south.
