Castelnaudary, Canal port town in Aude, France
Castelnaudary spans along the Canal du Midi with its Grand Bassin forming the largest water space between Toulouse and the Mediterranean Sea.
The settlement, initially named Sostomagus during Roman times, served as a crucial post on the ancient route connecting Toulouse to Narbonne.
The town maintains its position as the main producer of cassoulet, organizing annual festivals dedicated to this traditional bean and meat preparation.
Visitors can rent boats without permits at the port to navigate the Canal du Midi, with direct access to multiple restaurants and accommodation options.
The 4th Foreign Regiment of the French Foreign Legion maintains its permanent base in Castelnaudary since 1976, conducting regular military ceremonies.
