Alluring Aude

LIVRE NEUF

The department of the aude is known for its Cathars castles and Carcassonne, Europe's largest medieval fortress, but it offers much more. Nature is overwhelming, and history goes back to prehistory, the dinosaurs in Espéraza and Europe's oldest man in Tautavel, the Celts, the Romans, the Visigoths and even the Saracens. There is also plenty to do in sports, from hiking, cycling, skiing and caving to rafting, kite-surfing and paragliding. For those who want to enjoy the sun and the sea, there are the wide sandy beaches of the Mediterranean, with picturesque fishing ports such as Leucate.
