Things To Do

Montjoi Village

Montjoi is made up of a modest feudal castle tower perched on top, dominating the village. Located on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela , the site has been protected since 1972. Beautiful views of the valleys delight visitors to this bastide. Montjoi has retained the regular plan given to it in the 13th century . It is good to stroll through the streets of this city to admire the corbelled half-timbered houses from the 15th - 16th centuries .

Carcassonne Village

Although a 2 hour drive away from Chateau Coty, we have been told Carcassonne is not to be missed! Built on a steep spur of rock, Carcassonne’s rampart-ringed fortress dates back more than two millennia. The fortified town is encircled by two sets of battlements and 52 stone towers, topped by distinctive ‘witch’s hat’ roofs (added by architect Viollet-le-Duc during 19th-century restorations). Note that to actually walk on the ramparts, you have to pay to enter the Château et Remparts. The hill on which the Cité Médiévale stands has been fortified many times over the centuries – by Gauls, Romans, Visigoths, Moors, Franks and Cathars, to name a few. Following the annexation of Roussillon by France in 1659, the castle’s usefulness as a frontier fortress declined and it slowly crumbled into disrepair. It was saved from destruction by Viollet-le-Duc, who left his mark on many of France’s medieval landmarks, including Notre Dame in Paris and Vézelay in Burgundy.
