After a short 10-minute taxi ride to Villa C\u0153ur de Vignes, we were captivated by the charm of the place as soon as we stepped through the gate: an elegant house nestled among the vineyards, less than 300 meters on foot from the Medieval City. The peace and quiet, the space, the amenities\u2026 everything was there for a perfect week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The morning of July 14th: a day that promises to be special<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We knew that the city would be hosting one of the most spectacular fireworks displays in France that day. And from the very beginning, you could feel it: heavy traffic, a throng of visitors. But we, from our peaceful haven, enjoyed a tranquil awakening. Coffee on the terrace, a few laps in the pool, reading in the shade. While thousands of people jostled to find a parking spot\u2026 we were serene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>An afternoon of complete freedom while the city freezes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the afternoon, the city practically grinds to a halt. Families laden with coolers or folding chairs search for their ideal spot. As for us? A short stroll through the old town, a visit to the market, and then back to peace and quiet. No stress, no need to anticipate or rush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The long-awaited moment: the blaze from our terrace<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">10:25 PM \u2013 All we had to do was open a bottle of wine, settle down on the terrace, and wait. A few minutes later, the first fireworks lit up the night. From our terrace, and even from the jacuzzi, we had a direct view of the ramparts. The spectacle was magnificent. The blaze, the colors, the music\u2026 A suspended moment, to share with the family, without leaving home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When the city empties, we prolong the magic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the fireworks were over, we saw long lines of cars trying to leave. And us? We simply continued our evening. One last dip in the pool, a few laughs under the stars, and the certainty of having experienced an unforgettable Bastille Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>To go further<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2192 <a href=\"\/en\/les-maisons\/coeur-de-vignes\/\">Discover L&#039;\u00c9crin C\u0153ur de Vignes<\/a><br>\u2192 How to get to Carcassonne by plane<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Experience the July 14th fireworks in Carcassonne through the eyes of guests at L\u2019\u00c9crin C\u0153ur de Vignes.
