The cité of Carcassonne a UNESCO world heritage site is the largest medieval fortress in Europe and has 14 towers. To get to the cité you walk through the medieval town with its narrow, winding streets and many interesting shops offering crafts and souvenirs etc. Restaurants and cafes serve local cuisine, why not enjoy a glass of the local wine in the most historic of settings.

La Forge lies in a village on the foot hills of the Montagne Noire. The area is marked by the diversity of vegetation due to influences from the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. You can observe at a distance of a few miles completely different vegetation and completely different climatic influences. In the Orbiel valley, you have a Mediterranean influence that makes the mimosa bloom. A few miles west, due to a more wet climate influenced by the Atlantic Ocean, beech trees and epiceas are growing.

Swimming is also available in a number of mountain lakes, the two closest being at Pradelle and Lac de Montagne. There are many glorious walks and mountain bike tracks for the more active.
