Food and drink

Here, food is part of the journey. Cassoulet, the emblematic dish slowly simmered in its earthenware cassole, is happily shared after a day of sightseeing. The markets, producers and vineyards of the Aude (Minervois, Corbières, Malepère, Limoux…) complete the picture.

Flavours to discover

Cassoulet

White beans, confit, sausage and meats slowly cooked in the oven in a cassole: every household has its own recipe and convictions. The dish is enjoyed hot, without rushing.

Markets

Carcassonne’s open-air markets bring together fruit and vegetables, cheeses, charcuterie and local produce. Days and locations: check with the Carcassonne tourist office before you go.

Wines and producers

The Aude has several wine appellations and many estates that welcome visitors. Ask the estates or the tourist office about tours and tastings.
