    All the towns and cities in France have firework displays on Bastille Day. The larger the city the more impressive the display.
    The following website will provide you with all the information you need,both onn the fireworks and other interesting things happening in Carcassonne in july. (and there is a lot!)http://www.carcassonne.org/carcassonne_EN.nsf/vuetitre/docVisiterSaisonsCulturelles
    As to hotels, I usually look them up in trip advisor, they not only have excellent info, but they also have reviews and comments by people who have been to the places, I think the “Le Donjon Les Ramparts” hotel inside the walls is probably what you would be interested in. Here’s the link:

    You’ll have excellent beaches nearby, all along the mediterranean coast from the spanish border onwards, and lots of places worth a stop to visit. All depends what you are looking for. If you enjoy art, there is the Toulouse Lautrec museum in ALBI, near Toulouse.
    Enjoy your visit France is a beautiful country! :-)

    Take something like Vic nasal ointment or Chanel No 5 to apply to your upper lip. The place smells like an open sewer in high summer.
