HOTEL: HERITAGE & EXCELLENCE
A living estate,

The character of a house, the tradition of a place
***** HOTEL in Carcassonne
Domaine d'Auriac
In the heart of Occitania, just steps from the Medieval City of Carcassonne, the Domaine d’Auriac – Relais & Châteaux invites you to a rare experience: nature, heritage and the French art of living.
For over 50 years, this family estate has embodied a quiet elegance, inherited from a tradition of hospitality passed down through generations. Here, every stone, every century-old tree, every thoughtful gesture tells a story of a place deeply rooted in its land, its flavours, its memory.
More than an address, the Domaine d’Auriac, 5-star hotel in Carcassonne, is a living home: a place to reconnect, to slow down, to savour. A house to return to.
“The story of our house has been written by the women and men who built it, generation after generation. Throughout his life, my father, Bernard Rigaudis, expressed his love for the Aude through his craft as a chef and winemaker — through generosity and the desire to pass it on. We are today the heirs of that tradition.”
Marie-Hélène Rigaudis-Calvet,
Lady of the House.

The hotel
The Domaine d’Auriac, a 5-star hotel in Carcassonne, welcomes you into a peaceful house surrounded by pines, laurels and holm oaks.
Minutes from the Medieval City of Carcassonne, this exceptional estate combines timeless elegance with a warm, family atmosphere.
Built on the ancient oppidum of Carsac, the historic birthplace of the city, it perpetuates a tradition of refined hospitality where time seems to stand still.
Each room at the Domaine reflects the soul of the house: a balance of comfort, charm and light. Rooms and suites open onto the park or the golf course, while the independent houses offer ideal privacy for family stays or holidays with friends. Here, everything invites you to rest: soft tones, aged woodwork, carefully chosen details. A place where you simply feel at home.
Five hectares of preserved nature surround the estate. In the shade of the plane trees, the park invites you to wander and enjoy the sweetness of unhurried time. A tennis court nestles within this verdant setting, to extend your stay in the open air.
