I found the medieval city to be unbearably crowded during daytime hours but as soon as all of the day visitors left I could appreciate the city and for this reason I think staying in the city is the only way to go. By doing so you'll have a few hours of solace in the morning and evening before/after the hordes of tourist arrive/leave. During my visit to Carcassone we sought refuge at Hotel de la Cite in advance of our dinner reservation at a nearby restaurant later in the evening. In the lounge we enjoyed an excellent bottle of wine while snacking on some of the best olives I think I have ever eaten. Right off of the lounge there was a beautiful patio with breathtaking views of the city walls and surrounding countryside. Service was unobtrusive and elegant; I would definitely stay at this hotel.

The room was very modern and clean. It had all the amenities of a big city hotel. Staying inside the city walls was a magical experience, starting from the minute our complementary shuttle driver picked us up at the car park outside the walls. He then maneuvered through the medieval streets that were built for pedestrians, horses and carriages and now are mobbed by tourists. We managed to get to our room without hitting any tourist or any wall. Anyways, we ended up staying here two nights and we would have stayed longer if we hadn't had other traveling plans in place.

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!

As long as you're on the 2nd floor or above, you should try to request the room with the view of the fortress! :) Free wi-fi. We also had dinner here in the evening, they cooked up some lamb, veggies, and dessert. It was OK...not too shabby, beats having to venture out to find some food in the dark.

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!

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.
