A great weekend in town : a how-to guide

Set off to explore France by choosing the “Passion City – A great weekend in the city” option. The hotels taking part in the operation invite you to have two nights for the price of one, with an arrival on the Friday or on the Saturday.

So as to take advantage of this exceptional offer, all you need to do is :
- Choose your hotel
- Make your reservation, at least 24 hours in advance, mentioning the “Bon week-end à Carcassonne”
- Remember to confirm your booking by writing (letter, fax or e-mail)
- For the two nights of this package offer, you should pay the price for only one night, the breakfast (two for a single room, ad four for a double room) and the holiday tax.
The “Bon Week-end à Carcassonne” offer is for an arrival on Friday or Saturday. The nights should be consecutive. It can not be used with other special price offers. It is reserved for individual tourists and does not apply to groups of 10 people or more, or to congress participants during the period of the congress.
Upon your arrival, a tourist brochure will be given to you as well as a letter stamped by the hotel. Then, please go the Tourist Office with this letter in order to get your welcoming gift.
If all the hotels are full, the hotelier may not be able to honour your request.
