For those without a car getting to RLC is not easy. But Carcassonne makes a reasonable base to get there. Sept 2009 there were about three trains a day to nearby Couiza. I say trains but several involve a train to Limoux and then swapping onto a bus to Couiza. The 10.50 train from Carcassonne gets to Couiza at 11.20, and there is then a 10 minute delay before the bus leaves from just outside the station, dropping you at the Cafe de France in Couiza at 11.50. Telephone Taxis Hoste in advance 04 68 74 25 36and they will meet you to take you up to RLC, for just over â¬9. The Berenger Sauniere museum is open from 10.00 - 1.00 and 2.00-5.00 year round, not closing for lunch in summer. So you need to go to the museum first before visiting the church. The Jardin De Marie next door serves reasonable food. The bus from Couiza back to Limoux leaves at 16.10 again connecting with the train for Carcassonne.
