L'Echappe Belle is one of the few places to stay in the Medieval City of Carcassonne. It is located not far, however up many steps through the wall of the city, from a special parking lot available only to those staying within the walls. It is a small B&B with only four rooms, purchased by Jacquie, from Australia, only a... More

We thought we would book a hotel within the city walls. We are so pleased that we chose this B & B. Jackie has just taken over this business and is very welcoming. The rooms are large and spacious as is the bathroom. The bathroom includes a power shower. The beds are king size and very comfortable. There is a/c... More

We never got to stay at this BNB mainly because my booking was cancelled 18 days before we were to arrive. Very inconvenient. I had paid for one night through booking.com on 18 June and my booking was confirmed for two nights. No explanation or apology was received from the owner and she had my email address as I had...

This is only the second B&B I've booked to stay at. Unfortunately we were caught in the Spanish wild fires in July 2012 during our honeymoon, on the day we were due to stay 1 night at L'Echappee Belle Chambres d'Hotes in France. The wild fires started at 1pm and we were turned around by police trying to get to... More

I can not complain about our experience with this small cozy B&B. As a family of three, we got the largest room, and the festival or other entertainment did not bother our rest. If you try to drive into the cite by car (the B&B owner gave us a pass, but we did not use it for just one night),... More

When we first arrived we were hot, tired and in need of a rest especially after dragging our cases through the busy cobbled streets in the city as cars can't go up there. Therefore we just wanted to get to our rooms. Although we were early for check in and we thought we would drop of our cases off and... More

We had a very comfortable triple room with a spacious bath for two nights. As others have remarked, the room had a great view overlooking the garden and a beautiful old cathedral a little further away. I can't think of anything that we needed that was not available. Breakfast was very nice in a sunny room overlooking the garden. A... More

When we first arrived in Carcassonne we were an hour early for check-in and we were hoping to drop our bags, but the place was closed. So we had to wait around with our bags until the owner got back. However, we realize this is the nature of booking a B&B over a hotel. The owner was very sweet and... More

Notwithstanding 2 emails promising to accept our bags between 10am and noon, the place was shut up tight as a drum upon our arrival and a telephone call was answered by voice mail saying noone was available to take the call. I left a message but was not called back and we were forced to find another place to stay.... More
