The place is a little worn, but you can feel the history in it. It just feels magical. It's a bed and breakfast, but feels like a cozy mini hotel. The proprietors were incredibly friendly and helpful. We asked where we could go hiking, and they directed us to a beautiful spot. Despite my not knowing more than three words in French, they put in the effort to understand me and make sure that I had a delightful visit to Axes-Les-Thermes. The included breakfast was fantastic, with an array of pastries, meats, fruit, eggs, etc... We're here in April. There's still a little snow up above us, and Spring wildflowers emerging. It is just beautiful.

What a beautiful well apportioned hotel in the more modern area (yeah, modern as in built in the…read more1800s as opposed to 1200s around the walled in castle!) of the mountainous city. I don't think we could have picked a better time to explore the walls and valleys of the ancient city of Carcassonne, replete with tails of Cathar heresies, witchcraft and inquisition. The drafts and gusts of the mountainous winds (the ever present "mistral") can't be ignored in a building of this age - doors will slam and windows will shudder.... ghosts? Well all-in-all nice ones, they put up with my snoring! A family runs this beautiful charming hotel that provides parking as well as a rather lovely breakfast. They actually have food to order too and their tiny open bar was a respite for me when I needed that midnight tipple of rose wine! Very economical considering its historicity and the beds are nice, the armoirs vast and the history of where you're at - well, incalculable - but made all the more enjoyable by a multilingual staff (Spanish is as much a second language here as English - gracias a Dios parami!) that are ready to make you part of the family. One of their nicest touches - they provided a remarkable collection of post cards and helped you with postage to let your loved ones know you are having way more fun then them! In short, a treat!

Our room was on the small side for American standards but regular for European standards. Either way, a nice and very clean room with a comfortable bed and an amazing rain shower. The hotel also provides parking space which is convenient since parking in that area may be complicated. As a plus, the hotel has a nice rooftop with amazing views of the medieval walled city. Overall, an excellent and affordable choice. We will certainly keep it on our list for next time visiting the area!

Great view of the castle ramparts from the rooftop patio, pretty garden for breakfast, and large, sparkling clean rooms and bathrooms! The breakfast had variety and they even got me some soymilk as I am vegan. Easy walk up to the castle and the pre-arranged car parking was a breeze.

(This is long overdue review from my Provence lavender tour)…read more We all have one place in the world we want to come back to. Mine would be Floure. Driving down from Carcassonne, you turn to narrow straight road, lined perfectly with trees, that leads you to quiet town of Floure. Locals gather at the entrance to stare and greet, and just around the corner is a Chateau. Grounds are simply marvelous, old buildings, gardens, a lot to take in. Decent size rooms with AC (yes, it is unusual for this region - I am grateful for it in this hot summer!) Half-board is a good option to get if they still offer it, food here is very, very good. Dinner service, food itself, and wine, of course - all top notch. Local bread is delight. Strolling in the gardens or sitting by fireplace on colder nights after dinner, just enjoying the time here - a wonderful place to be. I WILL come back, Floure!

Breakfast was not included in our rate and expensive so we skipped and ate elsewhere. There is a restaurant on the premises for breakfast/dinner and you can purchase bottles of wine as well from the bar to take back to your room. I enjoyed my stay here but it was a little more than I wanted to spend ($160 in late October) and if I had to do it again I would pay more and stay at one of the two hotels within the city walls.

The visitors restaurant offers a fixed price menu which was 42 Euro last time I went - but they've a good website with all the info you need in English as far as I can recollect. DON'T come here if you're vegetarian or vegan!!! I cycled over for Sunday lunch with a friend in pleasant November sunshine and cycled home in rather wet weather, but we hardly noticed our surroundings by that time... our return journery has become part of an epic folklore tale of circuitous nature which I will refrain from detailing. Back to the restaurant - the meal starts with aperatif, then a choice of starter (fois gras featuring a number of times), followed by an interim course, then the main dish, then cheese, then desert, then digestif, accompanied (between 2 of us, I don't know what happens if you're on your own...) by a bottle of their own white, rose and red wine. My friend had one of the fois gras choices for starters and it was so generous a portion that I had a fair bit too, I chose scallops, then he had snails (the sauce apparently was a meal on it's own with sausage and all sorts) and I had langustines, after which we felt exceedingly full and where rather relieved that the suckling pig we'd decided on for the main course was not too enormous a serving. The cheeses were all local goat cheeses, but since I love these that was no problem and somehow we ate them all (I think we impressed the restaurant staff at this point). I confess I don't remember too much about desert - mine was something to do with chocolate. The white wine had a great nose, not quite so good on the palate, but still... neither of us thought to much to the rose which we largely ingnored, but the red was very drinkable. Between the wines, the aperatif and the digestif it's small wonder that the bike ride home was, well, meandering, but thankfully there was almost no other traffic on the road and we made it home just before darkness. If you do get the opportunity to visit, either book a room in the hotel or make sure you have a safe route back to your lodgings which doesn't involve driving.
