    The City of Carcassonne immerses you in an unparalleled medieval atmosphere. It's like being in a medieval novel or even in the world of Harry Potter. This fortified medieval city dates from the Gallo-Roman period and the enclosure reaches 3 kilometers in length with 52 towers. We owe its restoration in large part to Viollet le Duc. A walk is essential, despite the influx of people!

      Carcassonne is a city in the Occitanie region of southern France. The medieval fortress La Cité with numerous watchtowers and a double wall is particularly famous. The first walls were built in Gallo-Roman times, most extensions were made in the 13th and 14th. Century. In the Château Comtal, a castle from the 12th century located within the fortress, archaeological exhibits are shown and guided tours of the inner ramparts are offered.

        You should have time for Carcassonne and take the time.
        At least saw the Cite in fast forward.
