A visit to Aude Gate will make history come to life. Stare up at its ageing walls and pull out your guidebook for some insight into its legendary past.

Aude Gate is the perfect place kick off your day in City of Carcassonne. This fortified complex comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Allow time for other attractions like Chateau Comtal, Narbonnaise Gate, and Canal du Midi Harbor Master's Office to really experience what the area has to offer.

8.8/10 Excellent! (968 reviews)

Stay was good. I don't understand the bad reviews and I am a hotel snob. I assume we received a renovated room as we were happy. Location 10/10 , staff 10/10 , room 8/10 and only down side was that the halls were old and the elevator took a little time but nothing to ruin our stay and we would come back for sure.

I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this hotel. The room was spacious and clean. The staffs were so friendly and helpful. The breakfast/brunch buffet was amazing with tons of selections for dessert. I will definitely stay here again if I’m in Toulouse.
