Visit Carcassonne

2 500 years of history ...

Impressive double ramparts and towers enclose the medieval citadel of Carcassonne. At the top of the hill, the castle looks over the River Aude. Hôtel de la Cité is located in the heart of this citadel, witness to the dramatic events in the history of the Cathars who once lived in this magnificent part of Southwest France.

Stone walls deeply engraved by the passage of time, spectacular ruined fortresses on top of rocky crests, a moving homage to chivalry and the royal courts of a bygone age.
