Question
Why France? Why this location?
Answer
Why not! Chateau Villarlong is a beautiful 13th century castle with rich history. A home that once seated feudal families, the Chateau later evolved into a thriving wine estate until the late 1980s. Now it serves as a romantic and luxury vacation spot and occasional venue. On the Chateau grounds guests have access to beautiful gardens, ponds, mazes, vineyards and 9th century ruins such as a church and “The necropolis of the Visigoth’s” - 42 stone lined graves from the 6th century. A history buffs DREAM!
Question
What does Carcassonne have to offer?
Answer
Much like Chateau Villerlong, Carcassonne has a deep history as well. The first bricks were laid in 122 BC. Carcassonne then became a stronghold between the 11th and 13th centuries. In 1209, a crusade from Pope Innocent III began against the Cathars, who were under the protection of Viscount Raymond Roger Trencavel. Carcassonne was under siege for fifteen days, Trencavel was poisoned and died in his own château's prison, aged just 24 years old. The Cité was then turned over to the northern baron, Simon de Montfort, who led the crusade, and then the King of France, Louis VIII. It then became a real fortress, particularly during the reign of Philippe le Bel. Moving into modern days, the city is filled with 2 miles of ramparts, two walls and 52 towers and barbicans; it is the largest and best-preserved of the medieval fortresses in Europe.
