Carcassonne campsite - Le Bout du Monde

There are many artisans living and practising their art in our little region. They are coppersmiths, bronze-smiths, stone-cutters, monumental masons, marquetry-makers, cabinet makers, sculptors, engravers, gilders, lacquer artists, potters, ceramists, jewellery makers, producers of horn objects, craftsmen in wrought iron, leather-clothing makers, feather workers...
Dufort, the village of copper, and Revel, the village of furniture, for instance, will be a good opportunity for a family outing.

On Saturday morning you can stock up on local cheeses, pork delicacies, honey, game... in the covered market in Revel, considered one of the finest in the south of France.

In Revel, the town of fine furniture, you will also be able to visit a medieval "bastide" – or walled village – founded in 1342 by Philippe VI de Valois at the foot of the Montagne Noire. Its octagonal shape and geometric construction make this an almost unique example of its type throughout France.

Built between 1666 and 1681, the
Canal du Midi was originally intended for transporting merchandise between Toulouse and Sète. Now exclusively used for tourism, the site has been a designated UNESCO World Heritage site since 1996, and abounds with exceptional sites, among which are the numerous locks dotted all along its route between the Mediterranean and the Garonne river.

The Aude region and the "black mountain" are a perfect place for lovers of art and history.
The region is teeming with little medieval villages and traces and remains of the times of the Cathars.

Saved from destruction and restored in the 19th Century – in a manner that was at times controversial, under the direction of Viollet-le-Duc –, the walled city of Carcassonne has been a designated UNESCO World Heritage site since 1997. Its 2,500 years of history make it the most important such site in the region.
