Beautiful little town, hung along the river Aude, close to both the sea and the mountain.
At the heart of the highly historical Cathars region, Limoux is famous for its fine chardonnays and "Blanquette" or "Cremant", one of the finest sparkling wine you can find in France. Finally, do not miss its very specific carnival, the longest in the world, lasting every week-end, from January to March.
