==Geography== Castelnaudary is a market town, and the capital of the territory of [[Lauragais]]. The town is located {{convert|50|km|0|abbr=off|sp=us}} southeast of [[Toulouse]], about midway along the route from that city to the [[Mediterranean Sea|Mediterranean]]. This route has been used since at least Roman times, and today carries road, motorway ([[A61 autoroute|A61]]), rail and canal links. Castelnaudary is the main port of the [[Canal du Midi]] to which it owed a period of prosperity in the 17th century when agricultural and manufactured produce became easier to export. The ''[[Grand Bassin]]'' in the town is at 7 ha the largest open area of water in the canal, and is today its major pleasure port. [[Castelnaudary station]] has rail connections to Toulouse, Carcassonne and Narbonne.
