Living in Carcassonne’s Bastide means embracing a lifestyle where everything is within walking distance. Morning bakery runs, coffee on sunny terraces, evenings at local restaurants, and bike rides along the historic Canal du Midi. Situated between the world-famous Medieval Cité and the UNESCO-listed Canal du Midi, this 4-bedroom townhouse places you right in the centre of one of the South of France’s most iconic cities.
From the moment you enter the property, the house reveals its practical yet welcoming layout. On the ground floor, a reception room sits to the left of the entrance, ideal as a lounge, office space, or additional sitting room. A corridor then leads to one of the property’s biggest assets: a private garage — a true luxury and rare find in the Bastide, where parking is highly sought after.
Upstairs, a beautiful large period door opens into the main living area, creating an immediate sense of warmth and authenticity. The first floor offers a spacious living room, dining area, and a recently renovated kitchen designed for comfortable modern living while keeping the spirit of the home intact.
Recent works have also been carried out throughout the property, including updated flooring, refreshed plasterwork, and repainting, giving the home a clean and refreshed feel while preserving its original charm.
With 4 bedrooms, the property is perfectly suited for family living, especially thanks to its location between the collège and lycée, allowing daily life to be managed almost entirely on foot. At the same time, its central position makes it an excellent investment opportunity, whether for long-term rental, holiday accommodation, or as a lock-up-and-leave property in one of southern France’s most visited destinations.
Carcassonne attracts visitors from around the world for its medieval fortress, rich history, vibrant atmosphere, and southern French lifestyle. Yet beyond the tourism, the Bastide remains a lively and authentic neighbourhood where locals enjoy markets, festivals, restaurants, and the relaxed rhythm of life year-round.
