Some GPS systems have our road and others don't. For those that do not have our road there are two options.
Enter Cavirac as a destination. If you are comeing from Carcassonne then our turning (which has signs for us) is about 50M before you turn off the main road to Cavirac.
You can enter our GPS coordinates. This will show us as being 'off road' but it will get you to us.

Whilst we make every effort to keep the above information accurate we do not accept responsibility for any errors. Each of the airlines above have route maps and lists of future destinations.
Those travelling from outside Europe may consider one of the 'hub' destinations in the UK (Stansted) or Ireland (Dublin) to take advantage of the extremely cheap airfares, sometimes just a Euro plus tax. It's well worth having a look but pay attention to the luggage weights, it could save you a lot of money.
Please visit the Aerobus website, they will drop you off and collect you to and from our door.
My personal tip is not to use the hire companies recommended by the airline sites. Try doing a search in www.google.co.uk for car+hire+xxxx where xxxx is the name of the airport, for example car+hire+carcassonne. You will find that by looking around you will be able to save loads of money on a hire car and to be honest in Carcassonne for example there are only actually two hire companies yet the prices depending on who you book with can vary by quite a large amount (I saved over 250 Euro for a weeks hire of a Renault Espace).
If you are travelling from outside the European Union and expect to be in Europe for more than three weeks you might consider leasing (not an option for EU members). To find out more click on the car name below.
If you are driving all the way then use the Autoroute A61 to Carcassonne and exit at Junction 23. Now follow the signs to Limoux, the road number will be the D118.
If you are coming from the airport then you need to turn left out of the airport but you are not allowed (but watch the French chap in front!) so you must turn right, go up to the roundabout and come back on yourself. Just past the airport (now on your left) there is a right turn with a sign to Limoux. Follow the signs to Limoux, you will pass the Autoroute junction 23 on the way.
Drive straight through Limoux in the direction of Quillan still on the D118. When you arrive at the first traffic lights in Quillan you will be 4km from our B&B. At the first lights drive straight on, the road number now changes to the D117 (not that you will notice), at the second set again drive straight on. At about 2km you will see a big panel with Les Eaux Tranquilles written on it to the right. Carry on and you will pass an Auberge (Auberge du Chalet) on the right and we are the next turning on the left and again it is clearly signposted on the corner with Les Eaux Tranquilles .
Unfortunately we are not able to put any sign posts up because the area is of outstanding natural beauty so basically you must drive down the D117 to Axat. At the roundabout at Axat (which has some life size sculptures of the local bears) go straight over and you will enter the gorge. Don't go any faster than 50kph as there are some nasty bends. As you exit the gorge there will be a big car park to the right followed by a staggered cross roads marked Cavirac to the right and Belvianes to the left. Continue on about 50M and turn right, there are signs with Les Eaux Tranquilles on the corner.
If you get lost or have any problems then call us.
