The story of a castle
in the heart of the Cathar country, near Carcassonne
in the heart of the Cathar country, near Carcassonne
In Couiza, once upon a time…the Joyeuse…
At the beginning the castle was the alliance of the Voisin family with the Ducs de Joyeuse. From this wedding was born the Castle between 1540 and 1560.
A unique castle hotel and restaurant
The spirit of the Duc Anne de Joyeuse, sweetheart of the king Henri III, and fond of big celebrations, has certainly participated in the rebirth of the Castle as an elegant Hotel in the beginning of the 21st century. 
“An excellent experience”
We stayed at the Chateau for 4 nights while we explored the region. The owners are very nice and helpful. Everything worked out well during our stay (our stay was in Oct - end of the tourist season). It's very nice and quiet and picturesque. The room was nice and the decor gives that extra "flavor" to the stay. We had a really nice time.

Castle living with amazing food
We spent 8 night at Chateau des Ducs de Joyeuse in September 2015. It was our base for a tour of the Languedoc-Roussillon region. The whole staff is amazing! Service is foremost and you having a pleasurable experience is most important to them! The food is amazing and known in the region as the best! Every dinner was superbly prepared and presented.[...]
