Here's a pretty boutique in the heart of the Cité that plays the card of beauty, well-being and good taste. Evelyne has made a bet that you'll leave Carcassonne with a quality souvenir.

"Before I was a beautiful bucket, I was a beaujolais" could be the slogan of Culo, a small company that works for the planet through upcycling. The concept is simple, but we had to think of it: they recover wine bottles and transform them into trendy tableware: glasses, vases, trays, carafes. It takes no less than six stages to get the finished product, a lot of work and a product that looks great! Unique, eco-friendly handcrafted creations. It's time to do something for the planet.

Are you in need of culture? In this store, you will find books, toys, fine arts, stationery, but also e-books, DVD, Blu-ray, video games, board games... The comics section is particularly rich in quality works, including local artists! The shop also has a ticket office for concerts and shows. Very regularly, the store welcomes authors and artists to present their works and sign autographs, but also creative workshops; ask the professional and smiling team.

Behind the creation of the Vue sur Cours art-boutique gallery is Claude, an enthusiast with a keen eye! She decided to invest in a fully renovated apartment with a cosy, intimate atmosphere to give life to her artistic space. Her aim: to showcase local artists. In this local showcase, art comes in many forms: paintings, photographs, sculptures, ceramics, contemporary jewelry, textiles, hats, and even children's creations. The offer is regularly enriched thanks to the waltz of the creators presented.

On Thursday mornings, greengrocers, butchers, shellfish, olive and other succulent products are sold in the Cours Mirabeau. That same day the flower market is next door, quai Victor Hugo, with plants and cut flowers. Non-food products are sold on the Promenade des Barques and Cours Mirabeau on Thursday and Sunday mornings. On Tuesday mornings, the "fripe" and Saturday mornings the organic market offering meats, breads, poultry, honeys, cheeses, wines, fruits and vegetables are held Cours Mirabeau. Do not miss: the big festive market in August in the heart of the city.

As the slogan expresses: why troubling your life? You put down, they take care of selling. At La Trocante, Florent and his team sell even unsaleable things... If you have nothing to sell, you can always find your happiness: a beautiful chest of drawers, a sofa, a coffee machine or a design object, a jewel, an smartphone, a comic collection, and also a game console, a dryer, a CD or an art book... You have understood it, here, you will find everything and more. Old, modern, pretty wood, wrought iron, design, vintage, then, what do you prefer? There is an arrival as you can pass there every day in order not to miss the right opportunity or the very favourite! The staff is friendly and available despite the rush of customers. A small tip, go there at the time of closing and opening hours of schools, you will have fewer people. The little plus is their website which allows you, via your account, to check your sales... Very practical!
