QuillanQuillan is in the heart of the Aude Department which meets the Med and shares its borders with the Herault, Tarn, Haute Garonne, Pyrenees Orientales and the Ariege. The area is most famous for its vineyards and wine production, but is also steeped in history of the Cathare. Carcassonne is the capital of the Aude and other major towns are Castelnaudary, Narbonne and Limoux.


Cite du CarcassonneCarcassonne, a 12th century walled fortress town summarises all that was the best military architecture of the Middle Ages.
The Aude starts at the Mediterranean in the east and finishes at Castelnaudary in its most western region, and is situated on the Canal du Midi. Castelnaudary is ideal for cycling and walking alongside the Grand Bassin, the largest expanse of open water on the Canal.


Andorra ski resortThe mountain range of Montagne Noire is in the northern part of the department and the Pyrinies in the most southern part. The Aude has its own ski resorts of Camurac, Puyvalador and Les Anges - but the Pyrenees and Andorra are also within easy reach of Quillan.
