Story of why and when Carcassonne was developed

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.

A must

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.
