Limoux is a commune and subprefecture in the Aude department, a part of the ancient Languedoc province and the present-day Languedoc-Roussillon region in southern France. It lies on the river Aude about 30 km (19 mi) due south of Carcassonne.
The town is perhaps best known for its Winter festival called fecas [ˈfekɔs], often referred to (inaccurately) as a Carnival or fête. It is generally referred to as Carnaval de Limoux in French language. This takes place between January and Easter and is conducted in Occitan, the traditional language of the area (In Occitan the word fecas is the name of a dance characteristic of the festival). As of 2011 the wine Festival “Toques et Clochers” will be held in Limoux every spring.
