We are advising groups travelling to us in the next week to bring extra warm clothes and waterproofs as we have had a large amount of rain. We are also monitoring river levels, as they need to be within certain safe limits in order for the Ardèche descent to take place. We are hopeful that canoeing will be able to proceed as normal; however, should the bad weather continue, we have plenty of land-based activities available, so please be assured that we will still provide a fun and educational experience for you all. The weather forecast for next week is more promising, so your stay at Mimosa should be unaffected. Please note that past weather is not a direct indicator for future weather but it is worth being well prepared. Let’s hope the weather changes for the better. Important information .

    EUROPEAN COMMISSION - PRESS RELEASE State aid: Commission investigates potential state aid at Carcassonne airport in France Brussels, 4 April 2012 – The European Commission has opened an in-depth investigation to assess whether financial arrangements between public authorities and the airport of Carcassonne (France), as well as rebates and marketing agreements concluded between this airport and the airline Ryanair, are in line with EU state aid rules. The opening of proceedings gives interested third parties an opportunity to submit comments on the measures under assessment; it does not prejudge the outcome of the investigation. Carcassonne (CCF) is a regional airport in Aude (Languedoc-Roussillon region), with a total traffic of 392 465 passengers in 2010. The airport is owned by the Languedoc-Roussillon region and was operated by the local Chamber of Commerce (CoC) until May 2011. The operation of the airport was then awarded to Veolia Transport through a tendering procedure. The CoC received subsidies of at least €11 million between 2000 and 2010 from various public bodies (notably the region, Département de l'Aude and the city of Carcassonne), to finance various infrastructure projects at Carcassonne airport. At this stage, the Commission has doubts whether the measures comply with the 2005 EU guidelines on state aid in the aviation sector. In particular, the Commission will check whether the subsidies were necessary to carry out the investment, whether the aid was proportionate to the objectives pursued and whether the infrastructure had satisfactory medium-term prospects for use. The CoC also benefited between 2001 and 2011 from a range of support measures including subsidies of more than €8 million for its activity as operator of Carcassonne airport, as well as cash advances.

  • Carcassonne Travel Guide
    1 / General The city of Carcassonne is located in southern France, in the region of Languedoc- Roussillon, close to the Mediterranean Sea and the Spanish border. Population: 27,268 inhabitants Population density: 726 inhab./km² Demonym:Carcassonnais, Carcassonnaises Region: Languedoc-Roussillon Postcode: 11000 2 / Transport By car Carcassonne is located on a major axis connecting Toulouse to the Meditarranean coast. The Deux Mers Motorway provides good access to Toulouse and Montpellier from Carcassonne. With the departmental road 6113, you can also get to Narbonne. The Carcassonnais have a tendency to use their car to get around in the city center. Be careful, because traffic at rush hours becomes difficult very quickly. However, the city has many parking lots available as well as three large underground parking lots (the André-Chénier lot, the Jacobins lot, and the Gambetta lot) that allow you to park before to explore the city and all its treasure by foot. More information available here By bus Carcassonne is poorly provided with public transportationµ. In fact, only 11 bus lines run throughout the city and its surroundings. Nevertheless, it has installed a free electronic shuttle system called Toucs, that services the Bastide Saint-Louis (a big touristic site) during the summer season. More information available here By train Built in 1913, the Carcassonne train station is now completely connected to the railway network that allows you to reach various cities in the south, but also a good part of the major French cities. Also, you can get to Carcassonne by TGV from Dijon, Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse, or Bordeaux.
