Domaine D'auriac

The Domaine d Auriac is built on the ancient Carsac oppidum, where the story of Carcassonne, a Unesco World Heritage site, begins. For three generations, the Rigaudis Family has reinvented this 19th-century townhouse, built over the cellars of a Carolingian Abbey - ruled over by calm and fine dining in the shade of the 300-year-old surrounding park. The restaurant at the Domaine serves the original recipe for the typical local �Dieu le Fils� cassoulet. In a region where history, mysteries and legends, such as the story of Abbot Sauniere s treasure in Rennes-le-Chateau, abound, discover Cathare abbeys and castles whose ruins rise from cliff tops and rocky promontories.
