La demeure du Pareur — Hotel in Carcassonne

Whilst touring the South of France on a week long Motorcycle trip with my brother and father (heading to Mallorca) we found this quiet little gem in google maps out of the blue (as we have with all our hotel destinations on the trip) and this was another amazing find ! The ride through the national park to get here was nothing short of breath taking with the most incredible views of the rolling hills and vineyards. The little village is so quiet and immaculate, the hotel itself stands out as being very well looked after. The hosts were very welcoming and as we were out of season and their own Resturant was closed, the owner kindly walked us up the road to another place to eat where he introduced us and asked the staff to take extra special care of us.

Les Quatre Chateaux de Lastours was breathtaking as was the Grotte...
