Limoux is a commune and sub-prefecture of the department of Aude, part of the former Provinz of Languedoc and the current Okzitanian Region in the south of France. It is located on the Aude River about 28km (19 mi) south of Carcassonne. Its vineyard is famous for being the first to produce sparkling wine known as Blanquette de Limoux.
Blanquette de Limoux: Blanquette de Limoux is produced around Limoux. The main wine of the wine is Mauzac, followed by Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc. Wine historians believe that the world’s first sparkling wine was produced in this region by the monks of the monastery of Saint-Hilaire
Culture: The city is perhaps best known for its winter festival called Fecas, often referred to as carnival or fête. It is generally called Carnaval de Limoux in French language.
Sights: The city’s heart is Place de la République, a wide square with a nice stone arch and a number of timber framed houses. Limoux stretches across the river Aude, and the banks are lined with large houses, especially on the eastern side, the so-called Petite Ville.
Carnival: Limoux has a famous and colorful annual carnival between January and April, fête las fécos. Fete takes place every weekend for a period of about three months, making it the world’s longest carnival, and certainly one of the most unique and interesting. All players, fécos, are costumed and masked, usually with varieties of pierrot. Late in the morning, the bands play their own compositions and dance through the city. Another variety occurs at the end of the afternoon, when the groups visit the local cafes, only drinking through straws as they can not remove the masks. During this masked drinking time, a kosco will try to identify a masked counterpart, tap on them and announce that they are recognized. A third excursion takes place around 22 hours, with torch lights, slow music and incantations. Although worth visiting in itself, the city is also a good base for discovering the region’s history and is ideally located for exploring the coast, the mountains and a well-traveled country.[PBN-CLIENT]
