Hotels near Carcassonne Airport - CCF, Carcassonne

Pennautier is a wonderful little village, charming and vey unspoilt. We didn't eat in Pennautier and don't even know if there are any restaurants there. It is a very quiet, tiny place. The reason we were there was to stay

It is a lovely town to walk around in. However it is better to arrive Tuesday as there are a lot of restaurants and shops that are closed Sunday and Monday. There are some very good places to dine and a few not very good ones. Bistro Chez Alice was the best one that I ate at. La cité was too cold that day and the restaurant that I ste in was terrible. Lots of junky tourists shops amid a few very high end ones…They leather clothing shop was #1++++. Expensive but top quality.

Was a great place to stay . Pretty village away from the hustle and bustle Pizza and a nice bakery a short walk also the chateau that serves food No 10 Bus straight into Carcassonne But not a great service Taxi’s you need to book .

We really liked the walled cite , unfortunately we chose a very wet and windy day in February. There were plenty of places to keep dry within the castle though. We had dinner in a couple of restaurants, both were absolutely fine. We didn't think much of the Bastide, it was a bit worn out and needed some tlc. I'm sure if you visited in the summer it would of been much nicer. The walk across the old bridge over the river is pleasant.

Pennautier is a beautiful town. Very quiet, but many beautiful things to see. The Boulangerie just down the road from La Beytina makes the BEST caramel muffins I have ever had. I also recommend the quiche – YUM. We were so excited to stumble across a food truck in town serving New Zealand and Pacific Islander food! I recommend the fish and chips and Honey Soy Chicken. As we were in town for a wedding, we didn't spend much time sight seeing in Pennautier or Carcassonne. Next time we return, we will definitely stay at La Beytina, so we can tour the area a bit more.

We were very surprised at the quality of the restoration. Also, that there are so many eating places within the walls - some a lot better than others. Interesting displays and museums. A visit to the bascilica and castle are musts. The bakery associated with the hotel is wonderful, especially for breakfast. Really tastefully furnished and delicious pasties. La Boulangerie de la Cité.
