This is charming fun story developed by our very well informed guide. He used the evidence in the walls of Carcassonne to illustrate the story of its different purposes and many different rulers.
Dear Roger, I am very happy to know that you enjoyed the historical tour of Carcassonne medieval town. We are hoping to see you again another time maybe for a different tour. Thank you for your trust. Kind regards Olivia
Great site, full of history. The numerous renovations make the discovery of this city even more interesting. Many souvenir shops, many restaurants, everything is there for a beautiful day Do not hesitate to register for guided tours, some of which take place at night.
Our guide was a delightful young woman. She knew her history of the Medieval City. Were most impressed with how she moved us through the citadel and ended our tour at a very scenic overlook.
Thank you so much for such a beautiful review, nothing would make me happier than sseeing that you enjoyed the tour! You are welcome to come back any time :) Thank you so much Olivia
Majestic quote from Carcassonne. Beautiful walk in the cobblestone alleys and a plate of gambas on the square in a great brewery
