Pros
- I recommend doing at least an overnight in Carcassonne, because the castle walls and ramparts were magical during the golden hours, then the entire citadel was lit up at night. We did the rampart tour audio-guided (highly recommend), and...
- Carcassonne was such a major highlight of our trip. We stayed at TRIBE Carcassonne which gave an amazing view of the citadel across Aude river and Pont Vieux.
- Carcassonne can be visited as a day trip from Toulouse (I've done it).
- Carcassonne, Montpellier, Avignon, Aix are worth visit
- Can you keep the rental car for a while longer? A little over 3 hours and you’re in Carcassone.
Cons
- Carcassonne is within easy reach for historic (though very touristy).

Toulouse and/or Carcassonne would be a good fit. If you're travelling between Bordeaux and Marseille by train they are on the way.
