We stayed at Chateau de la Prade in Sept 2023. The Gite, as part of the Chateau, was our home for 3 weeks. The Gite had two bedrooms, each with a bathroom, a full equipped kitchen with two ovens, large fridge and large freezer. We love to cook, so this was a perfect Gite for us. The view on the garden with the huge trees was fantastic. The Gite was a nice base for trips to Rennes le Chateau, Montsegur, Mirepoix and ofcourse Carcassonne. The Chateau is at the canal du midi. You can walk to the locks in a couple of minutes. We also saw a lot of cyclists staying at the Chateau for a couple of days. The owners really gave us the feeling to be at home. We can advise everyone who want to visit the Cathar area to stay at Chateau de la Prade. We certainly would come back if time lets us.

It is a beautiful chateau with spacious rooms, nice garden and a pool. Restaurants nearby with a car or bicycle. Very friendly hosts. Ideal stay if you are on a Canal de Midi -cycle tour. We recommend warmly.

Lovely stay at the chateau and althoguh only one night I wish we could have stayed longer. Very friendly and the breakfast is amazing. Beautiful setting and grounds and right next to the cannal which is a lovely walk. I will be back very soon !
