  - Tennis court.
  - Carcassonne Golf Club: 18 holes, accessible all year, on a course

    designed with balance and elegance.
  - Jogging route.
  - Walks along woodland paths.

Golf Course

Laid out in the ancient vineyards of the Domaine d’Auriac, the golf course is open all year round.

With its exceptional view and its natural contours, it fully deserves its international reputation. The excellent quality of its fairways, the rapidity of its well-defended greens and the few but well-employed water obstacles give diversity and originality to each hole.

«Le Bistrot d’Auriac» will offer you a particularly warm welcome after your round of golf.

On fine days, meals are served in the gardens.
 

After dinner, guests can appreciate the quiet atmosphere of our salons, just right for discovering our superb collection of after-dinner spirits, or enjoying a game of French billiards in the ancient cellars of the Carolingian Abbey.

In the heart of Cathar Country, very close to the Mediterranean, the Pyrenees and the Black Mountain, there is a town with a strong historical background: Carcassonne.
Established more than 2000 years ago, it constitutes one of the architectural marvels of France, and one of the most fabulous sites that has lasted from the Middle Ages.
The City of Carcassonne, classified by Unesco as a World Heritage Site, is inseparable from numerous abbeys (Saint-Hilaire, Lagrasse, Fontfroide, Saint-Polycarpe…) and Cathar Châteaux (Quéribus, Peyrepertuse, the four Châteaux of Lastours…) with cliffs and peaks rising from their ruins, and why not also mention Rennes le Château and its famous, mysterious treasure which the Abbé Saunière kept secret for all his life.
