It lies on the river Aude about {{convert|30|km|mi|abbr=on}} due south of Carcassonne. Its vineyards are famous for being first to produce sparkling wine known as Blanquette de Limoux. Blanquette de LimouxBlanquette de Limoux is produced around the city of Limoux. The main grape 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 in 1531, by the monks at the abbey in Saint-Hilaire, Aude.[2] CultureThe town is perhaps best known for its Winter festival called Fecas {{IPA-oc|ˈfekɔs|}}, often referred to (inaccurately) as a Carnival or Fête. It is generally referred to as Carnaval de Limoux in French language. It is known for its British expatriate population.[1] ImagesSightsThe heart of the town is the place de la République, a wide square with some fine stone arcading and a number of timber framed houses. Limoux straddles the River Aude and the banks are lined with grand houses, especially on the eastern side, the so-called Petite Ville (lit. "Small City"). While worth visiting in itself, the town is also a good base for discovering the history of the region and is ideally placed for exploring the coast, the mountains and some good walking country. {{clear left}}Markets
